I have been trying to get fish disks from mrcnext.xxx.xxx (whatever) and
have been unable to so far.  Here is what I do ...

FTP mcrnext.xxx.xxx.xx UUENCODE
USER anonymous 
CD amiga/fish
BINARY                   ---->> I tried with and without this line
GET ff222
GET ffxxx
QUIT

Everything works fine except the GET commands return an error something
like "file is not of simple type" or something like that.  If anyone
out there does this and could send me the commands to do it, I would be
greatly appreciative.
