Reading isn't your strong point, eh?  I asked for an *IP address*!
Luckily, I've been able to connect to sam.info.apple.com, and
have found the files.

I'll just point out that under the Apple_II directory we have:
-r--r--r--   1 root     12          7245 Nov 16  1995 +LICENSE_READ_ME_FIRST
drwxr-xr-x   8 root     12           512 Nov  6 11:04 .

drwxr-xr-x   2 root     12          1024 Nov  6 11:04 HyperCard_IIGS_AppeII_Format

Note the two format directories.  The "AppleII_Format" ones have ".bxy" files
holding .SHK files.  The other ones have ".hqx" files, which I'm ignoring.
The Hypercard directory has:

Nathan, I think you might want to ammend your FAQ, since I think it says
that the Apple FTP site has only MacBin versions of these files.  Also,
I think you have a link to this archive, but the directory pointed to isn't
quite correct.

Try:
FTP://sam.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_SW_Updates/US/Apple_II/HyperCard_IIGS_AppeII_Format

(note the AppeII is their typo, not mine)

Cheers,
