[comp.sys.atari.st] E-mail files for IBM?

aa519@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Scotty Meredith) (03/23/91)

I do not have FTP access (legally), so I think BART is the best thing
since Chevrolet.  I was just wondering if there is any mail systems
similar to BART for IBM programs?  Thank you in advance!

FTP can be performed through the mail according to this excerpt from
the FTP list produced monthly at pilot.njin.net.  I have never used
it, but have been told it works wonders when FTP is unavailable.
This will allow you to use ANY FTP sites as I understand it.

      For those unfortunates who do not have ftp but  do  have  mail,  I  have
 included  the  mail  address  of  an archive that will retrieve files for you
 through the mail.  Send "help" in a message to the server  to  find  out  the
 exact commands necessary.

 The only mail-ftp archive I know of is:

         bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu (most well-known)

 Please don't ask me how to use it, as it can explain  itself  better  than  I
 can.

      Thanks,
