You should be able to find the information on the FAQ. Here's the
address:

I've just recently managed to figure out how to download software to
my Apple//c, with a little help from a friend! (Okay, a LOT of help!
;-) I'm able to download disk images with the help of a program called
ADT. You can find disk images on a site called Asimov, whose url is
listed in the web page of the FAQ. As for software on sites like
ground, which have the software stored in .SHK format, you'll need
telecom programs on both your PC and Apple, as well as a copy of
Shrinkit to unpack the files.

I might be able to help you to a point, but your best bet is to look
for Bill Garber from GarberStreet Enterprises. He should be around
here somewhere. I know he could help you far better than I could. ;-)
