I am sorry if you don't like it but people on ARPANET have had SIMTEL-20 and us people on bitnet have had nothing. Even if this is not the best way, it is a start. If you don't like it then don't subscribe.If you want to be able to get files then get an account on an IBM mainframe. *FLAME OFF* Chris
