Re: Peeks and Pokes

I have the software from Software of the Month Club (they no longer have
an Apple II or IIGS program), but not the hardware. I can upload it to
comp.binaries.apple2 as well as the major FTP sites. It is legal to
upload anything from their disks.

Post back if you want me to find it. It is on one of the 120+ disk from
them. Unfortunetly, my cat ruined the papers that said which disk it was
on, so it may take me a while to locate it.
