these and several other sites.
+ Getting fonts by FTP and Mail
+
+ If you are using ftp, you will need either the name of the host or
+ the Internet number. For example, to connect to ymir, listed as
+ ftp: ymir.claremont.edu [134.173.4.23]
+ you will need to type something like
+ ftp ymir.claremont.edu
+ If that doesn't work, try using the number:
+ ftp 134.173.4.23
+ If that doesn't work, on Unix systems you can use nslookup (it's usually
+ /usr/etc/nslookup) to find the host number -- it might have changed.
+ Type the entire host name, and after a few seconds nslookup will give
+ you the address.
+
+ Once you have connected, you will need to go to the appropriate directory,
+ lists its contents, and retrieve the files.
+
+ Most of the machines listed here run Unix, and you use "ls" and "cd" to
+ list files and to change directories. Ymir runs VMS, and you will have
+ to put square brackets around directory names, like [this].
+
+ Remember that although Metafont sources are text files, pk fonts are not
+ ASCII, and you will have to use binary mode for them. In general, use
+ text mode for README files and *.mf files, and binary mode for other
+ font files. Files ending in .Z are compressed binary files -- you will
+ need to use binary mode, and then uncompress the files when you get them.
+
+
+ You can get files from ymir by sending mail messages to
+ mailserv@ymir.claremont.edu
+
+ For example,
+ send [tex.mf.misc]cmapl10.mf
+ will get the file cmapl10.mf from the directory "tex.mf.misc".
+ You can only get text files in this way.
