If you do not have ftp access, you can obtain the files archived at
SIMTEL20 and Garbo by e-mail ...

If you do not have FTP access to SIMTEL20 or its mirrors, files may be
ordered by e-mail from these servers:

Location        EARN/BITNET          Internet
--------------  ----------------     ----------------------------------
In USA:         LISTSERV@NDSUVM1     LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU
In USA:         LISTSERV@RPITSVM     LISTSERV@VM.ITS.RPI.EDU

In Turkey:      TRICKLE@TREARN       TRICKLE@EGE.EDU.TR
In Italy:       TRICKLE@IMIPOLI
In Belgium:     TRICKLE@BANUFS11     TRICKLE@CCS.UFSIA.AC.BE
In Austria:     TRICKLE@AWIWUW11
In Germany:     TRICKLE@DEARN        TRICKLE@VM.GMD.DE
In Israel:      TRICKLE@TAUNIVM      TRICKLE@VM.TAU.AC.IL
In Netherlands: TRICKLE@HEARN        TRICKLE@HEARN.NIC.SURFNET.NL
In France:      TRICKLE@FRMOP11      TRICKLE@FRMOP11.CNUSC.FR
In Colombia:    TRICKLE@UNALCOL      TRICKLE@UNALCOL.UNAL.EDU.CO
In Sweden:      TRICKLE@SEARN        TRICKLE@SEARN.SUNET.SE

If your mailer wants bang paths: uunet!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv
				 uunet!vm.its.rpi.edu!listserv

If you use bang paths, substitute your nearest neighbor which is also
on the Internet for uunet in the examples above.  Some examples are:
ames, decvax, decwrl, harvard, hplabs, nosc, rutgers, sharkey, sun,
ucbvax, ucsd, udel, uw-beaver, wuarchive.

Send these commands to the server to get its help files:

Use this command for LISTSERV:   GET PDGET HELP
 Use this command for TRICKLE:   /HELP

Sample command (which gets our catalog of MS-DOS files):

/PDGET MAIL PD:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMLIST.ZIP UUENCODE

These commands should be sent as the body of a regular email message.
Do not include a signature because it confuses the server.  If you
have xxdecode, you may wish to specify XXENCODE instead of UUENCODE to
avoid character translation problems.

SIMTEL20 does *not* run these servers.  Comments, questions, and
suggestions should be directed to the LISTSERV or TRICKLE manager at
one of these addresses, depending on which server you normally use:

                          Internet                  BITNET

        "John Fisher" <FISHER@VM.ITS.RPI.EDU>   <FISHER@RPITSVM>
         "Marty Hoag" <INFO@VM1.NODAK.EDU>      <INFO@NDSUVM1>
"TRICKLE Maintainers" <RED-BUG@EGE.EDU.TR>      <RED-BUG@TREARN>

Please do NOT send your comment or question about the servers to SIMTEL20.
However, if you wish to report a program bug or to request information
on how to upload files to SIMTEL20, you may send e-mail to me at one
of the addresses below.

   [Note: Do not use ftp-by-mail servers without the permission of your
   system administrator and (if fed via uucp) your uucp feed.  Thank
   you.  Justification: many sites simply don't have the disk space
   set up to do this without warning, and mail disruption may result.]

Timo Salmi, the moderator of Garbo, writes:

To get files sent to you by email, please use our mail server.
To get more information write a message to mailserv@garbo.uwasa.fi.
The subject line of this message must be
   garbo-request
The message must contain just the following text (at the beginning
of the line):
   send help
Do not include a signature because it may confuse the server.

Our customary format for the file names when announcing programs for
ANONYMOUS FTP is e.g.
    garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/dirutil/dirmat20.zip  or
    /pc/dirutil/dirmat20.zip
IMPORTANT!!! The format for the MAIL SERVER is slightly different:
    send pc/dirutil/dirmat20.zip
In other words omit / from the path when using our mail server.

If you don't get any response to your mail server requests, under no
circumstances keep sending the same request over and over again.
Please ask your own site's system manager to construct a returnable
mail path for you.

                                        and it executes before any LS/DIR/GETs)
        compress                compress binaries using Lempel-Ziv encoding
        compact                 compress binaries using Huffman encoding

        btoa                    binary files will be mailed in btoa format
        chunksize SIZE          split files into SIZE-byte chunks (def: 64000)
        ls (or dir) PLACE       short (long) directory listing
        index THING             search for THING in ftp server's index
        get FILE                get a file and have it mailed to you

        quit                    terminate script, ignore rest of mail message
                                        (use if you have a .signature or
                                         are a VMSMAIL user)

For more detail, send an e-mail to ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com (with  help
