Once those small problems were worked out (line noise), It has been working flawlessly. I have downloaded some of the posts that have been made to the apple 2 list and have used binsci and shrinkit without any problems. Also, is Binsci 1.0.3 coming down soon. I have heard something about but it has not shown up in Apple2-l and that seems to be the only library I can get at. Also, I would like to say that I commend Andy Nicholas on his work on shrinkit. It is an excellent program and I hope he keeps up all the good work. And Andy, is there any news on your communications program that you mentioned during your online conference on Genie. And I think that A2.Eric was definently asking to much to have a disk unpack to a hard drive with shrinkit. Well, I think I've rattled on enough for now. ________________________________________________________________________ George A.
