Sorry 'bout the email; I've not taken the time to find a new remailer
since anon.penet.fi was shut down.  Any recommendations?

(Also, I do check the apple2 newsgroups pretty regularly now.)

Any particular reason these are going to two different sites?  I'm
sending these up now as you suggested; just curious why we shouldn't
put everything on Ground.

The format I use is disk images within ShrinkIt archives.  This seems
to be the easiest common denominator between the II and emulators
running on other platforms.

My pleasure.  I'm sorting through some 3000 disks of my old Apple II
stuff now and archiving them in this standard format on optical
disks--this lets me read them with my IIgs or one of the Windows
emulators.

I'll try to make the remainder of my library available to the public
as I gradually test and sort through everything.  Requests and advice
always welcome!
