Ok, Keith, ftp 26.2.0.74 works, but then I can't get anything useful. Do I need an account on simtel20? All I could get on anonymous ftp was: ACCOUNTS.INFO.3 BINTNXVMS.C.1 BINTNXVMS.README.2 BOOTSTRAP.HELP.2 IBMCMS-FTP.HELP.1 SIMTEL-ARCHIVES.INFO.30 SIMTEL20-ADA.INFO.5 SIMTEL20-CPM.DIRLIST.7 SIMTEL20-MACINTOSH.INFO.4 SIMTEL20-MISC.DIRLIST.9 SIMTEL20-MSDOS.DIRLIST.17 SIMTEL20-UNIX-C.INFO.3 SIMTEL20-VHDL.INFO.1 VAXVMS-FTP.INFO.2 How do you get to any other directories? Why are they not listed? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help. In the rare case that original ideas Kenneth J. Hendrickson N8DGN are found here, I am responsible. Owen W328, E.

Thanks, Les!
Additional info: FV119 now handles PKZIP v1.01 files. Vernon Buerg is
keeping up with the latest archiving methods. This archive directory
utility also displays dirs in self-extracting archives. It handles
all popular archiving methods. Sure is nice to have one program that
handles them all!

What Did you try getting any of the files you had listed there? Let us say you are wanting to get some of the MS-DOS files. If you get the simtel20-msdos.dirlist file and read it. The file gives you a list of subdirectories that contain MS-DOS files. So then all you have to do is to "cd" to the correct directory. For example one of the subdirs under the ms-dos section is sysutl (system utilities) so you just issue: ftp> cd pd1:<msdos.sysutl> the do another directory and it will show you all of the files in that directory.

Tried to get a copy of this but your FTP server couldn't locate it. Mark, thanks letting me know about this. The directory name was wrong. FV119.ARC is in directory pd1:<msdos.arc-lbr>. I decided to put it there because it handles more than ZIP archives but I forgot to edit the announcement to reflect that change. --Keith

The main reason for not looking as a UNIX filesystem is the machine running TOPS-20, which has a completely different layout. -- Per Andersson Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden perand@admin.kth.se, @tds.kth.se, @nada.kth.se or perhaps {backbone}!sunic!ttds!perand

All I could get on anonymous ftp was: [file list deleted] Get SIMTEL-ARCHIVES.INFO from the default FTP directory. It gives full instructions on how to access the other directories. SIMTEL20-MSDOS.DIRLIST is a handy quick reference list to the MSDOS subdirectory names.
