There's a simtel instructions file at the top level -- ftp get that and
read it.  In brief, it says:  To ftp transfer a directory listing of 
macstuff, do

  get pd3:<macintosh>macintosh.crclst

To just look at a directory or subdirectory, do

  ls pd3:<macintosh> or ls pd3:<macintosh.sound>

You can change to a subdirectory and get files with:

  cd pd3:<macintosh.sound>
  get filename-1

Lots of luck in getting and unpacking files, though -- I run into a
wrong size byte error, which forces me to transfer binary, and then
they don't unpack.  Does anyone know the solution to that?
