Thanks for info.  I took time to download the baps*.pdf files from Oct04
and from the newer Feb05, using binary FTP.  Text mode does NOT work.  I
used Fetch v4.0.3 with MacOS X v10.2.8 (binary, raw data).  Both sets work
fine with Acrobat 5.x (x=1?), but I think the Feb05 set does not show some
of the 'artifacts' that Oct04 files have.  May be my imagination.


PDF's are _binary_ files, and can never be downloaded as text.


Anyway, files are in ground's apple2/Docs directory in folders
Bapsoct04.cr or Bapsfeb05.crlf.  My attempts to create a true unix
delimited file have failed so far.  It doesn't seem necessary now.


PDF's are system-independent, and any PDF reader will do the
right GUI thing when displaying them, regardless of OS.
