There was no documentation with Z-link. Dennis, Your problem with Z-Link lies not with the file, but because you seem to have missed a step. There is a program that is called BLU and it is available on the Apple2-L List (Listserv@Brownvm.bitnet). This program will be the key to your problem. Most of the time, when a file ends with a '.bny' or '.bqy', it is either squeezed or a binary II file. BLU will allow you to extract or unsqueeze files of these 2 types. As for the problem with your kermit, try useing the original ProDOS disk, it's worked for me, it should work for you. (The User's disk) David William Wrage a.k.a.

Most of the time, when a Alas, 'anyhost.ti.com' is NOT directly connected to the Internet so LISTSERV@BROWNVM can't respond. BLU should be available by 'ftp' (being on BITNET where we don't have 'ftp' I've lost track of the instructions, but Paul Nakada <nakada@husc4.Harvard.edu> or Todd Bakal <TABakal@ub.cc.UMich.Edu> should be able to help with directions).
