Sure.  It's been a couple of months since I last posted my FTP site list,
so I'll use this as an excuse to post it again.

Changes since the last version:  Not much.  One new FTP site (hypermall.com),
and a few small changes to the WWW section.  Also noted the new URL for the
HTML version of this document.


This list does not include empty directories or directories containing
only "useless" files.  Also unlisted are sites containing only the
comp.sys.apple2 FAQ and sites having only Apple II emulators for other
computers (the latter are unlisted mostly because I haven't gotten around
to inspecting the sites yet).

Please send additions, deletions, corrections, or other useful information
to nparker@cie-2.uoregon.edu.

Moxie (moxie@oak.liii.com) has converted this file to HTML format.  Point

THE BIG SEVEN (All the shareware, freeware, & PD ware you could possibly want)
=============
Site name                Directory
---------                ---------
apple2.archive.umich.edu /archive/apple2
brownvm.brown.edu (*)    LISTSERV.193

readable directory, send e-mail with the text "INDEX APPLE2-L" to
listserv@brownvm.brown.edu.

Mirrors:  ftp.uu.net mirrors apple2.archive.umich.edu under /systems/apple2

               /systems/apple2/caltech
          wuarchive.wustl.edu mirrors apple2.archive.umich.edu under

Since some people are forced to connect to the network through services
