I got most of them to show nicely with a program (I believe shareware)
that you can FTP from cco.caltech.edu under pub/apple2 and then some
obvious directory.  However since I have limited memory I booted up from
a dish with a different launcher that takes less memory.  Pictures were
great and all but a couple came in nicely. Unshrunk the program is
called gifview.

The comet pictures can be FTPed from stsci.edu under
stsci/epa/comet/gif.

This is a very nice product and I think it is freeware, but on some of
the gif files it came back with a message like too many lines to ... Big
Red Apple has show pic too.
