The *number* works better that the *name* from over here in Europe. my machine had not heard of arsun.utah.edu. > 5) Tell ftp to get the file pub/phylip.tar.Z (on my system you type > "get pub/phylip.tar.Z". This did not work for me I had to CD PUB to get into the PUBLIC directory and then set BINARY and HASH on to get the file. The first attempt was unsuccessful because I asked for file with a small "z" instead of a capital "Z"... unix is weird... then the file came accross... it took about 360 seconds. The TAR.Z file is rather large... 1262 blocks on a VAX so if anybody is downloading it they should be sure that they have enough space on their disk... about 650K for the packed files and 2 mega for the sources once they are unpacked. Otherwise everything went well, apart from these observations. -=ROB=-
