...
  I just picked up an Apple ][c+ (enhanced ][c,
w/3.5" internal floppy
  and 4.0Mhz 65C02) with monitor, stand, mouse and two Imagewriter I printers
  for the princely sum of $15, but lack modern software.  All I have is a
  couple of 5.25" DOS 3.3 floppies from my ][+ days.  I know this thing works:
...
   it boots and runs DOS 3.3; what I need is something a
little newer.

  Did Apple ever post ProDOS to the 'net like they have made older versions 
  of MacOS available?  Does DOS 3.3 support 3.5" 800K floppies (probably not).
...
   Is there a good repository for Apple ][ software on
ftp somewhere?

lucky dog! the //c+ is a nice machine and is the only // series model i am
missing now. you'll only be able to run prodos on 3.5 although you can always
plug in an external 5.25 and use that. nibble magazine used to sell dos 3.3
that was patched to run on 3.5 drives. it split each 800k disk into 2 400k
volumes. i dont remember what they called it; have to look in my old
magazines. there are two places on the net that are called 'ground' and
'asimov' that i've  been told are some pretty good repositories of just about
any apple // program. someone will be able to post the URLs, i'm sure.
