Being a new user with my Apple II GS, I have a few questions! 1. Now that I have a file on my unix box that says to exec this code on the apple and unpack it with blu. What do I do exectly? 2. Where does on get blu? Do I run it on the unix box? or the apple? 3. Is there a archive site that copies/makes disks that I can subscribe too? I am willing to pay someone to do this work. 4. Is there any apple II GS users in Fremont, CA, other than me? Thanks! e-mail me! -- Gary Falsken Renaissance Consulting {ames,pacbell,sun,pyramid,hpscdc}!rencon!gary

Have you a program that will transfer text files from your host to your Apple (if your "unix box" supports XModem, then almost any Apple communications software will do it)? BLU = Binary Library Utility a ProDOS program which runs on Apple //e, //c, IIgs. > 2. Where does on get blu? Do I run it on the unix box? > or the apple? APPLE2-L 88-00531 72 192 BLU V2.28 Documentation APPLE2-L 88-00532 75 724 BLU228.EXEC Ah but there's the rub, LISTSERV@BROWNVM won't let UUCP users retrieve files from the archive and comp.binaries.apple2 doesn't archive. > 3. Is there a archive site that copies/makes disks that > I can subscribe too? I am willing to pay someone to > do this work. Call A.P.P.L.E. Coop and the Big Red Computer Club (in Nebraska -- advertises in InCider and A+) both carry extensive public domain/shareware libraries. Big Red's catalog provides more description of what's on the disks, but my impression is that A.P.P.L.E.'s library is larger. > 4. Is there any apple II GS users in Fremont, CA, other > than me? Your best bet; I hope someone on the net can put you in touch with one.
