[comp.sys.apple2] FTP and other questions...

   Hello there....I was wondering if somekind sould could help me out.
I need to know what tools to use to extract the archives/files from the
ftp site ummts.cc.umich.edu (pc5: directory).  I downloaded the READ.ME's
and I still couldn't get the files.
   I tried binscii, shrinkit, blu, and exec.  They don't seem to be working
on the files.  Are these the right tools?  If now, which are...

   Question two....what is the ascii code for the delete key on the IIgs
keyboard?  I am trying to get GEnie to accept 127 as delete, but it tells
me that it won't accept it.... (using Z-link as the term program).

   Question three... Are there any memory cards on the market that allows
me to add another memory card to my apple 1meg memory (piggyback)?  I read
something like this a bit back, but can't remember what.

system config: IIgs ROM 1, Apple 1meg memory, AE Vulcan 20 meg internal hd

   Please e-mail any responses
   Thanks for any responses......

Addressing question 2, GEnie will not accept the delete key because of their
network.  What you end up doing (Like myself and a lot of other people) is use
the backspace (^H) key for this.  When you connect to GEnie, in their setups
is a "Set delete" key section.  Do this and hit your backspace.

Good luck.
