 .bsq - BinScii'ed NuFX file. [TEXT]

  You need to get a copy of GSCII + (available on cco.caltech.edu) and
use it to un-binscii the file.  Now you can use GSHK to un-NuFX it and
you should be set.

  .bsc - Not a typo.  This is a BinScii file. [TEXT].

  Again, run GSCII + to un-binscii it and that's all you need to do.


  Here are some other file types you might see:

  .shk - NuFX archive.
  .sdk - NuFX with a shrunk disk image.
  .bxy - NuFX with a Binary II header.

  GSHK will handle all of these.


  Also, here is a list of the big IIGS FTP sites: 


 Site name                Directory
---------                ---------
apple2.archive.umich.edu /archive/apple2 (Note 1)
brownvm.brown.edu        LISTSERV.193 (Note 2)
cco.caltech.edu          /pub/apple2 (mostly GS, but some non-GS)
f.ms.uky.edu             /pub/appleII
grind.isca.uiowa.edu     /apple2
plains.nodak.edu         /pub/apple2
wuarchive.wustl.edu      /systems/apple2, /usenet/comp.binaries.apple2


  FYI, all of this info. + a lot more is available in the FAQ for this
News group.  If you need a copy, let me know and I'll be glad to e-mail
it.  BTW the FAQ is posted monthly I beleive.


                        Hope this helps,

                             Joe
