[comp.sys.apple2] Questions, Questions...

Hi everybody!

A few days ago, I subscribed to this list via the 'apple-info@apple.com' mail
address. The amound and scope of the messages is impressive, but they bring
along their own problems (for me). I am a student of informatics in The Hague
in The Netherlands, and it seems I am the ONLY one I know who has access to
this list! Another problem is that I read all these messages and about 80%
were about topics I never heard of! So, I'm going to ask a LOT of questions
next, and I hope someone can answer them for me.

* What is, and where can I get:

- Proline
- ACOS
- MACOS
- METAL
(I deduced these are some kind of BBS-languages, but what exactly?)
- HyperC

* I read about this ProLine, and it _seemed_ to me to have some kind of
internet connection. Is this true? ANd if so, are there ways of connecting
to the internet without having access to a university or company system in
Europe?

* What is the latest version of:

- Shrinkit
- Shrinkit GS
- the ORCA/ stuff

* How can I send/receive FILES with only MAIL priority? (Our school system is
not connected to Internet or BITNET, I can send & receive mail, but that is
all!) I have this urge to get all programs mentioned in all these messages, 
but I don't know how to get them! (remember I live in The Netherlands?)
This is also important to me because I have a few share-ware programs that
I want to distribute in the American Apple // circles. One of them I sent
to A2-Central and I am anxious if they place it. It is called DoubleDump 2.0
(No, not the one placed in Nibble some time ago. That one was not mine)
It is an utility to display 2 ranges of (//GS) memory next to each other and
scroll them seperately or together up and down, compare them, and it can load
in files anywhere you want. I programmed it in assembly and it uses 80-cols
text, so it is lightning fast!

If one of you can answer one or more of these questions, an apple ][-crazy
student from The Netherlands would be forever in your debt.

ShrinkIt v3.2.3 is current.  I'm working on v3.3 which will have one major
bug fix for users of networked Apple II's, but not much else.

>- Shrinkit GS

GS-ShrinkIt v1.0.4 is current.  I'm working on GS-ShrinkIt v1.1 very, very
slowly when I have time off from the Finder (virtually never so far).  v1.1
provides most of the functions of a dedicated archiving program.
