Categories:
        archivers
                These are utilities typically used when making file
                archives. This includes archiving and compression
                utilities, binscii/base64 encoders and decoders, and
                Binary-II wrapper utilities.

        comm
                Telecommunications programs.

        database
                Database programs.

        demos
                These are demonstration programs. They are typically
                either demos of otherwise commercial programs, or "proof
                of concept" programs that are not fully functional.

        doc
                General documentation that is specific to the Apple
                IIgs. There may be documentation in other subdirectories
                as well, when a more specific classification is
                appropriate.

        editors
                These are (text) editors, word processors, and related
                programs. Programs which are multifunctional (like
                AppleWorks, if Appleworks were publicly available)
                appear in "suites".

        educational
                Programs and data of an educational nature.

        games
                A great way to waste your time.

        gno
                GNO/ME, the UNIX-like environment for the Apple IIgs
                that sits on top of GS/OS.

        graphics
                Graphics programs, sample data, clip art, and so forth.

        multimedia
                Programs and data that consist of more than one
                presentation type.

        orca
                These are utilities and libraries for use with
                ORCA/Shell and ORCA languages. See also the "gno"
                category; file archives which are compatible with both
                GNO and ORCA will be found under the GNO hierarchy as
                well.

        programming
                Utilities, sample programs, documentation geared towards
                programmers of the Apple II. See also the "gno" and
                "orca" categories.

        sounds
                Programs and data for both sound and music clips.

        suites
                These are programs or their associated data which are
                multi-functional; they fit into multiple categories like
                wordprocessors, database applications, spreadsheets,
                paint programs, and so forth.

        system
                System utilities. Mostly patches and things you can find
                in the "system" folder of your boot volume.

        utils
                General non-programming-specific utilities.
