I'm trying to get to the archives on cica and princeton, but I'm not having any luck. I tried the following, but it get's bounced back because our mail server doesn't seem to know about cica, or I have the address wrong or something: mail bitftp@cica.cica.indiana.edu ftp user anonymous cd /pub/pc/win3 get ls-ltR get INDEX get index quit Subject: Returned mail: User unknown To: bitftp@cica.cica.indiana.edu To: bitftp@cica.edu I also can't get to princeton, the following doesn't work: mail bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu USER anonymous CD pub/pc/win3 DIR GET INDEX GET ls-ltR QUIT My request is refused. Can anyone help me?? Thank you very much, in advance. You may reply to me at this address, or I can be reached at: paul@plato.com voice: 415.327.6737 Paul Mahler

I use it that way all the time, and it's TERRIFIC, since I don't have Internet access at all. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ : Steven List @ Transact Software, Inc. :^>~ : : Chairman, Unify User Group of Northern California : : itkin@Transact.COM :
