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.
