[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Help: Locating FTP for general IBM programs

Man, it's actually hard to find places that don't have IBM software!
The best solution to your problem is to proceed as follows :
	ftp pilot.njin.net
	cd ftp_list (I think. If not look around a bit)
	get ftp.list (again, I think...)
	quit
	grep msdos ftp.list > DOS
	grep pc ftp.list >DOS2
	grep IBM ftp.list >DOS3
	.
	.
	.
	etc...
	cat DOS DOS2 DOS3 ... >master_list_of_dos_software_sites

this works quite well for me. Make sure you keep the ftp list around,
since you can always grep other things like gif, tiff, comp.binaries, etc...
