You're right that not everyone is on the Internet so the solution is to use the e-mail servers that access wsmr-simtel20.army.mil to get the archives. You just send mail to one of the servers and it will send mail back to you. See comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d for details. There are regular postings in that newsgroup describing how to access simtel20 via FTP and the mail servers. -- Andy Toy, Mortice Kern Systems Inc., Internet: andy@mks.com 35 King Street North, Waterloo, UUCP: uunet!watmath!mks!andy Ontario, CANADA N2J 2W9 Phone: 519/884-2251 FAX: 519/884-8861
