  Carney, you can access the INFO-DEC-MICRO file archives by anonymous
FTP through DRYCAS.CLUB.CC.CMU.EDU. Here's a session log where I
connect and get a listing of files.

    /localhome/theall> ftp drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu
    Connected to drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu.

    ftp> quit

Please transfer files aaafiles.txt and aareadme.lst before you do
anything else. They are ascii files and it's easy to transfer them.
Issue the command "binary" when you want to transfer binary files;
eg, ZIP files. And you'll need a copy of PKZIP v1.0x to access
any of these ZIPs - you can get it off of any PC-oriented bbs.

   If you encounter any trouble, the first place you should turn
is to the system administrator at your site. He/she can tell you
what magic incantations you need to use FTP, and each implementation
has a somewhat different set of commands. If that doesn't work,
then get in touch with Rob Locke, INFO-DEC-MICRO-REQUEST@ANDREW.CMU.EDU
as he's in charge of the file archives.
