OK... I found the files on grind.  Try the following URLs:

	ftp://grind.isca.uiowa.edu/apple2/unix/SCIIbin

This directory contains the sciibin files.

	ftp://grind.isca.uiowa.edu/apple2/unix/Nulib.v324

This directory contains the nulib files.  (nulib is the portable NuFX 
(ShrinkIt) archive program, by Andy McFadden, I believe).

This is a tar archive that (presumably) contains the files in the
directory above:

	ftp://grind.isca.uiowa.edu/apple2/unix/nulib324.tar

A number of Apple II FAQs are available via the WWW from the following 
address:

          http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/text/faq/usenet/apple2/top.html

I'm having trouble at the moment connecting here; hopefully that's only 
temporary.	

I hope this helps.
