I have an original copy of the program disk and manual. The only
problem is that I don't have a dsk image and I can't remember if the
program is copy protected or not. If is not, I may have copied the
binary file to another disk.
Since the Apple IIe is in the attic, I won't go get it unless you are
not able to get a copy from someone else.
If you have no luck, let me know, and I will see what I can do.
