I have a shareware program that can convert 720k or 1.4meg floppies 
into a file, but I would still have a problem since GEOS was a commercial 
program. 

BBSNETS frowns on transferring commercial programs and I don't want to 
lose my access. 
That leaves me with doing an old fashioned snailmail transfer. 

My JUNO email doesn't allow file attaches, and the max message size is 
60k, otherwise I could split it into multiple UUencodes. 

Actually we should be discussing this in email, even though GEOS is 
only a specialty program now. 

--------------

I finally found all of the original disks: 

5 720k GeoWorks Quick Start

7 720k GeoWorks Ensemble 2.0 

2 1.4meg GeoWorks Ensemble 2.1 patch files 

The patch files will fit on 4 720k disks. 
They were downloaded from the GEOS BBS in 1995 aprox 9 months after 
the patch was made.
