    Some Apple II wares are available packed via a Mac-compatible packer.
You can download these, unpack them on your Mac, and transfer individual
files via a NULL modem connection to your IIe.

     Often, IIe wares will be placed in one or more relatively small .SHK
files. You can download these to your Mac and NULL modem them, one at a
time, to empty or nearly empty diskettes in your IIe's 5.25" drive. On
your IIe you can use ShrinkIT to unshrink individual files from the .SHK
file on each diskette.

     If you have enough memory for a RAM disk and it's large enough,
transfer each downloaded .SHK file to the RAM disk and unshrink to your
5.25" drive. Otherwise, a second 5.25" drive will be a big help.
