Hi Corey,

Is there anything in this zip that is not on Jim Battle's site as ENTs?

https://www.sol20.org/programs.html

I'm always looking for new-old Sol software.

Thanks,
Bill Sudbrink

OK you guys can download from here…

http://myapplecomputer.net/SOL20/Sol20_AudioFiles.zip <http://myapplecomputer.net/SOL20/Sol20_AudioFiles.zip>


When I get a chance, I’ll create a menu item on my website for this so people who don’t have the direct URL can find it, but for now enjoy…

Cheers,
Corey
