I have a few questions that I believe would be beneficial to many comp.sys.apple readers: What does one need for a complete set of Apple II Plus utilities to download the various files that are posted to comp.binaries.apple2 (aka Apple2-L) ? I finally have a version of BinSCII (v1.0.3) which smoothly runs on my II Plus. However, II+ UnShrinkIt 1.0 has trouble when unshrinking files that belong in a subdirectory on the destination drive. Also, the copy of BLU2.28 that I have crashes to the monitor at $2022:BRK upon execution. I have several unBinSCII'd files with the following extensions (I don't mean file types, but filename extensions), what programs are needed to produce usable files from these: FILE.BQY FILE.BNY FILE.SHK II+ UnShrinkIt >1.0? more recent version? FILE.BIN Could someone send me the latest II+ UnShrinkIt and II+ BLU ? Please, only encript them with BinSCII - that's all I have running.

I have BLU 2.28 but nobody seems to use that here. I have BinSCII (v1.0.3), but it's in the hex. form and requires BinSCII to unpack it (I think) ie. catch-22. I have Shrinkit and a bunch of other stuff but it all requires BinSCII so I'm stuck. Help, anybody.... To the old timers here, this kind of problem is probably a pain. I didn't want to be a pest, so up until now I have been saving files and waiting for a solution to the catch-22 to appear. Maybe this is it? To any one willing to answer this, Thanks in advance!

Help, anybody.... The BinSCII file was distributed with both the BinSCII and Executioner format in the same file. There were instructions at the beginning of the file. Basically, you need to cut off the BinSCII portion and headers at the beginning of the file, and then EXEC the resulting file. -------------------------------------------------------------------- J.
