Wouldn't it be nice if filenames were useful on certain ftp sites...
such as prgramname.gs.bsq <-- implies it's for a gs
whereas prgramname.bsq <-- any apple will do
I've just spent a little it of time transferring some files, only to
find that my meager //e won't cut it.
Just a thought, so that other people might not waste several hours.
btw, i notice that some filenames already include somesort of 'gs' to
denote computer type, needless to say I didn't download these.
thanks is advance to all those would be uploaders

That's how tybalt and wuarchives does it. You will probably see a bunch of directories in the apple2 directory, one of them being GS. The rest of the directories (Lang, Shell, Games, Util) are for the 8-bits. -- Brian T.
