You can get the entire package from Simtel20. If you do not have
ftp access, Simtel has a mail server that you can use. There are
6 parts to the f-pc 2.25 package that total just over 1.2 Meg.

If you need to know more about the mail server, look for an article
in c.b.i.p.d that describes mail access to Simtel20. The author is
Keith Peterson (sp?). He posts the article regularly. If you can't
find it, I'll mail you a copy.

I've downloaded the package and find it quite good, but it is *big*.
I'd like to get the manuals, and $50.00 sounds like a bargain to me.
What is the Offete's address?
