	Did you try getting any of the files you had listed there?
Let us say you are wanting to get some of the MS-DOS files.

	If you get the simtel20-msdos.dirlist file and read it.  The file
gives you a list of subdirectories that contain MS-DOS files.

	So then all you have to do is to "cd" to the correct directory.
	For example one of the subdirs under the ms-dos section is
sysutl (system utilities) so you just issue:

	ftp> cd pd1:<msdos.sysutl>

the do another directory and it will show you all of the files in that
directory.
