tucker@unocss.UUCP (Gregory A. Tucker) (10/06/88)
The following is a list of various public domain sites and other things
that I have collected. Since I am an Apple owner, and I see a lot
of questions about where someone can get a certain program, or how
to do something on the network, etc, I thought this might be of
interest to some of you. This list is not intended to be complete,
by any means, but only a memory refresher for some things that I have
used at one time of another. Please review it for accuracy.
Another note, the subscription list for Apple2l is not included.
I am subscribed to Apple2l, but I forgot to write down the procedure
before I accidentally killed the help file. Could someone tell me
how to un/subscribe, and the address via either Internet or Bitnet.
Thanks.
