[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Getting files from simtel20

larsen@uranus.CS.ORST.EDU (Scott Larsen) (10/13/89)

Is there a document telling me how to get around in the Simtel20 archives?
I can hook up w/ a ftp, but cannot find any files...   

How do I change directories (or where are they?)  I always see things
like PD1:<MSDOS.MYSTERY>

HELP!
