I'd love to get my hands on some of the stuff that's available, but I need to know a couple of things first: (1) I'm hooked into "the net" through CSNet -- is FTP available to me, or does it only work on ARPANet (DDN) machines? (2) Is the FTP software in the public domain? And regardless of whether or not it's PD, how do I get my hands on it? Thanks for tolerating what may be an asinine message, and my apologies if this is the wrong list to send this msg to -- I didn't know who else to ask.
