Okay, I'm still fairly new with FTP but I've been scouting around seeing what I can find. Tell me, is there some "goldmine" out there to be found for GS stuff? I'm hearing talk about all these neat programs like Cosmocade & Photonix II. Where are they? I've tried to FTP to comp.binaries.apple and my system tells me that there is no such host. Where are all these good things? I'm not yet connected with anything like Genie, etc. But surely there must be some place with the same things. Or am I just dreaming. . . The best I've found so far is wuarchive.wustl.edu. Any other good suggestions? Thanks. William K. Fry Wonko the Sane wkf2298@ritvax

Comp.binaries.apple2 isn't an FTP site, it's another newsgroup (like this one, comp.sys.apple2, or like my other favorites like rec.arts.tv, rec.games.video, alt.folklore.urban, etc.. heh heh).. So at the rn main prompt type "g comp.binaries.apple2" (without quotes obviously), and then it'll probably ask you if you want to subscribe to it.. Then read the files and get software.. You'll need BINSCII or SCIIBIN (which is Binscii for UNIX) and ShrinkIT. Cosmocade is on tybalt.caltech.edu (which IS an ftp site). -- /Apple II(GS) Forever! unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu MAIL ME FOR INFO ABOUT CHEAP CDs\ \"If cartoons were meant for adults, they'd be on in prime time."-Lisa Simpson/

I don't know about Photonix II, but Cosmocade and other shareware and freeware are available from a variety of places. I usually download them from America On-Line, Genie, or (occasionally) CompuServe Information Service. Some of these are also archived at Internet sites such as tybalt.caltech.edu. >I've tried to FTP to comp.binaries.apple and my system tells me that >there is no such host. That's right; comp.binaries.apple2 is the name of a USEnet news group, not a host.

Just a reminder: Not everyone reading these articles does so via USEnet. Many, particularly on BITNET but also on some DoD Internet sites, instead subscribe to the "INFO-APPLE" mailing list that is now centrally administered at Apple.COM. (It was formerly administered at BRL.MIL.)

Maybe it's just me, but I can't get tybalt.caltech.edu to work anymore...
