My children just acquired an Apple ][+ from their grandfather. I am interested in getting my hands on the following: - a list of BBS systems for Apple software (preferably in the NE). - a serial card to interface to an external 1200 baud modem. - a VT100 terminal emulator. - recommendations for a good book describing the Apple ][+. - recommendations for a good C compiler. Thanks for your email replies. -- Tom Albrecht

>I am interested in getting my hands on the following: > > - a list of BBS systems for Apple software (preferably in the NE). MANY User groups maintain their own BBS's. The Hartford Club's board is members only ($15/year) and has 40 Mbytes available (when something's not broken) carrying just about every public domain Apple 2 or Mac program. The board's number is (203) 569-8739 (East Hartford, CT) Membership Chairman H.U.G.E. Apple Club P.O. Box 18027 East Hartford, CT 06118 This net keeps me too busy as it is, so I have long since given up keeping track of other BBS's. You also can download APPLE public domain software from the LISTSERV@BROWNVM (the list name is APPLE2-L). Try email to: LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU (subject ignored) INFO GEN INFO REF If the LISTSERV sends you the documenation (how to use a LISTSERV :-), it should also be able to send you files. UUCP sites carrying USENET should have access (or be able to ASK for access) to comp.binaries.apple2 (same files as mailed by APPLE2-L). > - a serial card to interface to an external 1200 baud modem. The "standard" is the Apple Super Serial Card. If you get a clone, find one that supports interrupts (not all clone cards do). SSC's are available by mail order at reasonable prices; it's been awhile since I've looked for a serial card; I'm sure someone else can supply you with a source. > - a VT100 terminal emulator. Kermit-65 is public domain and works on a 48K Apple II+. Try email to KERMSRV@CUVMA.BITNET (note only one 'E' in KERMSRV) (subject ignored) SEND APP385.1 SEND APP385.2 SEND APPLE.DOC If that doesn't work, I can send you instructions (too long to post here) on how to get Apple Kermit via UUCP > - recommendations for a good book describing the Apple ][+. > - recommendations for a good C compiler. Others have better answers than I to those. >Thanks for your email replies. > >Tom Albrecht In this instance, your return address didn't get munged completely beyond recognition. HOWEVER, posts to USENET lists wander through many gateways, some of which cannot resist restructuring your "From" line. If you want folks to be able to get back to you, add a .sig with a direct (preferably Internet 'domain' format) address. If you supply a City, State location, someone may be able to give you an address for a nearby user group (always a handy source of advice, software, spare parts, etc.).
