I got it but the pack files are already gone.  Sorry.
But this is about another matter.

There is a file called   PRINT ME.

It is MacWrite but hangs on my SE while openning.  It is about 7K.  
Tried reading it with Word 3.0.  It worked. (Seemed to convert OK)
But when I saved it in MacWrite format, it was a 70K file!

Then when read converted one with MacWrite (no changes by Word) 
it looked OK except ending in a ruler with many tabs.
Deleting the ruler (or removing a tab) also blew up the machine.

Interesting fun but  HOW BIZARRE!
