	Depends on what you are trying to achieve ... i.e. putting the
program on a PC disk to the IIGS (unless you have a SuperDrive controller
and SuperDrive).

	You could get those utilities that write to Mac diskettes from PC,
which will then, get low density Mac diskettes and then write to them, and
put them on the IIGS.

: Will I have to get online with the IIgs to download this?

	Also depengs on how you want to do it, you could use a telecom
program on the GS and use a telecom program on the PC to do a null modem
transfer.

	GNO/ME officially released into "Freeware" status at version 2.04.
