Thanx in advance. Please email me ( why waist the posting, unless you think thare are other out there who would also like to know ). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Wallace Bell Canada ( on week days ) Toronto, Ontario, Canada uunet!attcan!utzoo!censor!bvax!dave ____________________________________________________________________

It's getting to look like it might be profitable to just -post it. If you guys refer to the text files starting with "CALL -151", you don't need a special program. Just download the file onto your Apple's disk filesystem (for sake of this example let's name it "EXECFILE"), then from AppleSoft BASIC (] prompt) if you're using DOS 3.3, type "EXEC EXECFILE", or using ProDOS type "-EXECFILE". It should unpack itself.

It should unpack itself. Come on Doug, if you clearly read the previous postings, it was obvious that those posters were new to this group and had an inkling that it took more than simply doing something with the sources as downloaded. What you say is somewhat correct about using the EXEC command, but all that doing this does is store the information in the Apple on the disk (in most cases), and another program must be used to extract the data (docs and code) to make it usable. BLU is that program, and that is what I beleive they would like to see posted (along with some instructions on how to use it). The big question is: can BLU be posted in such a way that an EXEC on the downloaded file will generate the executable file (or does BLU require BLU to extract BLU). -- ------------------------------------------------+--------------------- Maybe I shouldn't have done it, sarcasm is so | Joseph G.

I have a copy of BlU that is in the the executable format if there is enough need for it I can post it. I also have the docs.
