     Using the current Netscape (v4.72) running under Win95 on a PC-- a fairly
standard setup-- the TFF Enterprises ftp URL does not work. (This is the ftp
URL listed earlier and the one used in the current link on the TFFE website.)

     It turns out that the problem is failure to include an ending "/".  The
URL  ftp://apple2.tffenterprises.com/pub/apple2/ works.


     A2-Caltech, of course, is one of the three long-time major archives. The
references have been in the Apple II FAQs for a _long_ time. The references
have been replaced with references to the TFF Enterprises Apple II Archive. It
should take about a month for the change to propagate through all versions of
the FAQs on the net.
