In other words, I am looking for a file where in can type "EXEC xxxx" >and it will transform itself into an application program with XMODEM This can be done, there are execuable versions of BinSCII and Shrinkit available, and with those 2 utilities in hand you can convert darn near any file that is mailed to you. However, this is a pain in the butt, therefore: Dear Apple II user, As a service to the Apple II community, I offer a disk with all of the software you need to get started in the world of Apple II "modeming". This disk contains: Sneeze: Freeware by Karl Bunker - program launcher, txt & awp printer/viewer, graphics viewer, utility set. Shrinkit 3.4: Freeware by Andy Nicholas - Apple II standard archiving/dearchiving program, utility set. BinSCII 1.0.3: Freeware by David Whitney- Binary/Text conversion utility (Apple II standard). UUencode 1.1 : Freeware by Andy Tefft- Binary/Text conversion utility (Unix standard). Comm.System: Freeware by Jim Ferr- Simple, easy to use communications program that supports Xmodem transfer and ASCII capture. Unshrink 2.1: Freeware by Andy Nicholas- version of Shrinkit that will run on unenhanced IIe's w/ only 64k or II+'s, must be able to run Prodos. In archived format, Zlink -Shareware by David Whitney- is included. Zlink is a more advanced communications program that offers X & Ymodem transfer capability and VT-100 emulation. Note: Users are responsible for Zlink's shareware fee, should they use it after the trial period. To take full advantage of these programs, IIe users should ensure their machines are enhanced, with at least 128k of RAM. IIc users should determine their ROM version by typing the following and pressing return, at the basic (]) prompt: ] Print Peek(64447) If a value other than 255 is returned, then your IIc has the necessary ROM version to take full advantage of your machines telecommunication abilities. All original documentation files are included.
