A library of Apple II programs is part of CIS basic services?  Please tell 
folks here more about this.  The last time I was on CIS, all the computer 
oriented material was $4.80 an hour.

Do you know of any place online that has more Apple II material?  The Apple 
RTs on GEnie have more than I've seen anywhere else -- including the Internet.
With The Windows Apple Emulator, I'm just getting back into Apples (as I can 
run most of my old Apple software again) and am trying to locate as much stuff 
as I can.
