You also need to get hold of sciibin, which should be available on "the
usual" ftp systems.

Here's a little csh script that I pipe comp.binaries.apple2 files into
from my newsreader (tin). I just tag all the parts of the bsc archive
then pipe them into applearchive. sciibin and nulib work great together!
