I haven't posted this in awhile... now's as good a time as any.

Dear Apple II user, 

As a service to the Apple II community, I offer a disk with all of the 
software you need to get started in the world of Apple II "modeming".

This double sided 5.25" disk contains:
Sneeze 2.1:    Freeware by Karl Bunker - program launcher, txt & awp
               viewer/printer, graphics viewer, utility set.

Shrinkit 3.4:  Freeware by Andy Nicholas - Apple II standard
               archiving/dearchiving program, utility set.

BinSCII 1.0.3: Freeware by David Whitney - Binary/Text conversion utility
               (Apple II standard).

UU 1.1:        Freeware by Andy Tefft - Binary/Text conversion utility
               (Unix standard).

Comm.System 2.5:    Freeware by Jim Ferr - Simply, easy to use
                    communications program that supports Xmodem transfer
                    and ASCII capture.

Unshrink 2.1:  Freeware by Andy Nicholas - Shrinkit for II+'s, unenhanced
               and/or 64k IIe's.

In archived format (Shrinkit archive, of course) Zlink - Shareware by
David Whitney - is included. Zlink is a more advanced communications
program that offers X & Ymodem transfer capability and VT-100 emulation. 

Also in archived format, is ASCII Helper - Shareware by Clayburn Juniel 
III, this utility helps convert text files between different online 
systems by adding or removing linefeeds, carriage returns, etc...

To take full advantage of these programs, IIe users should ensure their
machines are enhanced, with at least 128k of RAM. IIc users should
determine their ROM version by typing the following and pressing return
at the  Applesoft basic (]) prompt:

] Print Peek(64447)   <press return>

If a value other than 255 is returned, then your IIc has the necessary
ROM version to take full advantage of your machines telecommunication
abilities.

All original documentation files are included. Docs for BinSCII, UU and 
Comm.System are in archived format due to space considerations. Archiving 
them allowed me to include ASCII Helper.
