Thanks to Patrick - the Adm. of the Apple_II ftp site -> Asimov, most all of
the above mentioned Basic Compiler titles are historically preserved 
and available for public access and use today, with Apple II emulators and REAL
Apple II models also.

BTW, Paul, seeing as you have a great interest in Astronomy - I'm awaiting the
arrival by snail mail of a NEW Apple II astronomy program to release as a
freeware from it's author.  I'll send you a copy by external email attachment
in ShrinkIt archive format - for your use and review - as soon as it arrives.

Cheers,
Tom
