CU20B.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU is about to go off-line forever. I don't think it
supports anon ftp anymore anyway (could be wrong).

However, there are now three columbia machines which share an NFS disk with
complete Info-Mac archives. Their names are CUNIX{A,B,D}.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU .
Unfortunately I don't know their address numbers, but I'll try to get them
in a few days. You can try yourself, but they are very new, so many places
might not know them yet.

The FTP files are in the directory /export, and the info-mac files
(surprisingly enough) are in /export/info-mac. There are lots of other files
too, for people with more than one machine (or religion :-)

For the beginners:
start up your FTP program.
Type "open cu20a.cc.columbia.edu"
answer any questions about logins or IDs with "anonymous"
leave the password blank (just hit return)
type "cd /export/info-mac"
type "get {whatever file you want}"
type "close"
quit the program

That's all. If you want to see what files there are, "get 00DOWNLOAD-INFO..1"
or "get 00README.TXT.1" and this should get you going.

Please don't mail me if you have problems, because I'm not an FTP guru, just
an occasional user...
