ymir.claremont.edu : [anonymous.tex.mf.cm.outline]

            mailserver, send a message to          | Quixote TeX Consulting
            mailserv@ymir.claremont.edu with a     | 714-625-0147
            line saying send [DIRECTORY]FILENAME 
            where DIRECTORY is the FTP directory (sans "anonymous") and 
            FILENAME is the filename, e.g. "send [tex]00readme.txt". There is
            a list of files in each directory under the name 00files.txt
            Binary files are not available by this technique.
