dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu  | send a message to mailserv@ymir.claremont.edu 
Quixote Digital Typography | with a line saying send [DIRECTORY]FILENAME
714-625-0147               | 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.
