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!
