Why use communications programs using Trackstar 128  -- you can use msdos and xfer
to apple ][.
After all Procom for dos was shareware and is far better than any apple II program
for communications Plus it could be used as as file server , message center.

The Trackstar was GREAT for Schools  they could then have both Apple ][ and Msdos
in 1 box.
