Hello people,

there where a few questions during the last days about ftp-ing and
uncompressing.

FTP: If you are on a EARN/BITNED node, send a mail file containing
only the word help to BITFTP@PUCC. Get more instructions about FTP from
You have to find FTP sites for yourself, sorry.

Uncompressing: Check the Simtel20 archives. As far as I know they may be
reached via FTP. The people on AERN/BITNET could try the following:
tell trickle at trearn /help
tell trickle at trearn /pddir
either as tell command from VM or as mail file (maybe without the tell i
the latter case).

Hope this could help you
Gunnar
