     Probably, you are not. Doing transfers machine to machine (like
PC-to-Apple2) without an A2 telecom program is tricky enough. Doing
transfers from a BBS via modem without an A2 telecom program seems to
add extra layers of complexity.

     Perhaps Jeff Blakeney or Dave Althoff or someone will come up with
a procedure and directions. For now, why not just email some regular
Csa2 poster and request a few 'getting started' diskettes? Mainly, you
need DOS, ProDOS, a Copy utility, ShrinkIt, a telecom program, a program
to change filetype, ... . Tell whomever you contact what sort of system
you have and what (if any) software you already have. Expect to pay $3
to $10 to cover the cost of diskettes and mailing.
