I am new to this newsgroup. I have been reading about something called simtel20 which appears to be some file server. How do I access it? Also, what ftp sites are there that have (Turbo) Pascal code? Thanks in advance for any help! Jim Lick basin@hub.ucsb.edu ...!ucbvax!hub!basin

Read news.announce.newuser. Step 2. Read man page for ftp. Step 3. Wait till off hours. Step 3. ftp simtel20.arpa (address is 26.0.0.74) Step 4. login as "anonymous". Step 5.

Ftp stands for file transfer protocol. simtel20 is an archive site of a great number of msdos files. Try typing ftp -n and see if it works... read your system manuals on ftp simtel20 will generally let you log in under an account called "anonymous" and let you receive files... any more problems let me know by e-mail hope this helps walter Perz -- ============================================================================== Walter G.

Getting to simtel20 is the easy part. The thing i dont understand is how to get around in the TOPS-20 directory structure. What is the rational involved? How do you get an "ls -s" type listing of files? ...ken
