Steve,
You should send a note to INFO-MAC-REQUEST@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA and ask to
be put on the info-mac mailing list.  

If you're on a UN*X host, do a 'man ftp|lpr' and read how to do file
transfer protocol (ftp) transactions from your host.  ftp is good for
downloading the most current version of the info-mac archives.  here's
the syntax:

	ftp>	LS <INFO-MAC> MY.MAC.LIST

	(your response is all-caps)

'LS <INFO-MAC>' commands a directory listing of info-mac to be placed
in your local file 'MY.MAC.LIST'.

to get a file downloaded to your host computer (mit-bug?), use the
ftp GET command:

	ftp>	GET <INFO-MAC>BILLIARDS.HQX.3 BILL.FILE

this puts a copy of the binhex mac file 'BILLIARDS.HQX.3' in your
local file 'BILL.FILE'.

.hex, .hcx and .hqx files are special ascii files which must be
translated using jacques lempereur's 'binhex' program.  this program
is shareware and available from boston mac users group.  it must
be run to transform binhex files into executables.

hope this helps.  good luck.
