[comp.sys.apple] DOWNLOADING

hangetsu@cgdra.ucar.edu (Dan Baldwin) (12/14/87)

I am rather new to the PC world-I have a IIgs and was wondering if
someone could tell me how to use a binary file that has been downloaded
and is of type TEXT ? The particular file is some shareware that I 
downloaded from compuserve. It has some lines of documentation at
the begining and then the binary code. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Also could someone give me some info on APPLE2-L ?

                                            thanks,
                                              Dan

START WITH, BUT WHEN I GET THEM THEY ARE TEXT FILES, HOW DO I CONVERT THEM TO
RUNABLE FILES, IS THERE CERTAIN PACKING FILES THAT I SHOULD HAVE. I HAVE AN

Could someone out there send me information regarding downloading software
for the IIGS?  I would like to find out where it is available, and how I 
can get it.

Thanks,

If you don't know what 'ftp' is, start by asking your local system
administrator for information (there are BOUND to be hand outs and online
help); ask about 'anonymous ftp.'
