Because I only have a IIGS and it has quite splipped my memory that Angel was
for //e & //c users. Also because I hate to have to type complete paths for
files when I use Binscii. I only have Binscii V0.3 (1989) and it will be a
good thing if a newer version add open files dialog like in Shrinkit 8 bit.

I apologize for that, but read the following.

Yes, I am certain !

I made this (all things under Prodos 8 V2.0.1 after booting into Prodos 8)

- Download the file from cba2 under Prodos 8 with Proterm 3.1
- Run Binscii V0.3 (1989) to decode the file.
- Run Shrinkit Prodos 8 V3.4 to unpack the decoded file.
- Run the unpacked-decoded new file Angel.

         ANGEL WORKS WELL !!!

So, I think you can make same things with Apple IIe or //c.

Nota : The message from John is more agreable to read than David one's.
       Don't forget that I tried to answer at a csa2 request.
