+apple2-converters
+=================
+
+These are some programs I wrote many years ago to convert Apple II
+binary file formats to things that are usable on current systems.
+
+They are:
+
+* [a2pic.c](a2pic.c): Convert hi-res images to XPM. Sorry, it seemed
+  like a future-proof format choice at the time.
+
+* [awp.c](awp.c): Convert AppleWorks Word Processor files to HTML
+
+* [fp.c](fp.c): Convert AppleSoft BASIC source files to text
+
+* [orca.c](orca.c): Convert ORCA/EZ assembler source files to text
+
+* [pack.c](pack.c): Decompress run-length-encoded compressed images
+
+* [ps.c](ps.c): Convert small images from The Print Shop to XPM
+
+and less usefully:
+
+* [crypto.c](crypto.c): Superficially obscure images
+
+* [txt.c](txt.c): Convert CR-delimited text files to LF-delimited
+
+* [zb.c](zb.c): Convert ZBASIC source files to text. This isn't complete
+  and doesn't know what a lot of the tokens are.
