See the previous thread!  Use groups.google.com to search
comp.sys.apple for "swyftware TIFF" and you'll find who has
them.

the HEX listing probably looks something like:

1234:00 A3 D2 00 9C 0F
1245:9D 78 EF D0

etc.

To get the code to run on an apple II, we need to convert that
graphic into TEXT, just as it appears in the graphic.  Once
you've got it that far, it is EASY to enter into the apple II.  Start
typing.  Get other volunteers.  When you're finished, I or someone
else here can either help you get into an apple II (or emulator) and
save it to disk.

YES...  There are at least 4 people here that would like to check it
out.  I'm sure there are more.  I'd at least like to see what the buzz
was about with "swyft"

I don't think so.  The company isn't in existence.  Jeff isn't here on
the
planet any longer...  He'd probably smile if he looked and saw us
talking
about his work...
