These can be obtained via "anonymous FTP" from the Internet site "UNICODE.ORG". To retrieve them, uses will need access to the Internet and the program "ftp" or a work-alike. There are programs that allow access to ftp by non-UNIX machines. One example of this is Fetch 2.1--FTP for the Macintosh; contact Fetch@dartmouth.edu for more information. A typical command for accessing ftp is: ftp unicode.org Shortly after entering this command, the following banner should appear: Connected to sarasvati. 220 sarasvati FTP server (Version 5.1 (NeXT 1.0) Wed Dec 9, 1992) ready.
