- After a long delay caused by too many things, ftp.apple.com [130.43.2.3] now
- contains the complete set of Apple II Technical Notes and File Type Notes in
- text format. You can find these in /ftp/dts/aii/tn and /ftp/dts/aii/ftn.
- There is also a BinSCII file of the complete set at the /ftp/dts/aii/ directory.
-
- Thanks for your patience, and have at.

- Text File Thanks and Credit
-
- Developer Technical Support (DTS) has always written Apple II Technical Notes
- and File Type Notes to be read on paper, where typographical conventions,
- formatting and diagrams can often make points much, much clearer than simple
- ASCII text can. However, for internal reasons of author convenience this makes
- the source material in a format unusable on the Apple II, and the lowest-common
- denominator for conversion to a native format is ASCII text files.
-
- Converting these files to text is hard, tedious and thankless, and DTS wishes
- to thank those people who have spent their own time and effort to provide this
- service for the Apple II development community.
-
- For June/July 1992:
-
- Developer Technical Support wishes to thank Eileen Crawford and Tammy Dimas in
- Apple's Engineering Support group for working to make the tools for text file
- conversion of these Notes available quickly.
-
- We also thank Softdisk Publishing for the preliminary use of a program that
- makes converting Apple IIgs/Macintosh high-ASCII characters to standard ASCII a
- lot more painless than it used to be.
-
- But the biggest thanks go to Steve Gunn of New Castle, Indiana, who's worked
- long and hard (and given up part of his summer) to make these Notes available
- before the big conference in Kansas City. Now Steve's agreed to reconvert the
- existing Technical Notes and File Type Notes so they're all consistent and
- accurate. Thanks, Steve!
