Dear User,

Thank you for your faxed inquiry about how to obtain files from
InterNet anonymous ftp archives of garbo.uwasa.fi at the University
of Vaasa, Finland, or other similar systems.

If you are not familiar with the concept of InterNet archive sites,
for practical reasons you should try find a knowledgeable person
near you to help you with the basic concepts.  Universities (and
a number business firms) are most often parts of this net.

If you have access to InterNet, and you have the facilities use FTP
(File Transfer Protocol) then utilize that possibility to connect to
a site such as ours, SIMTEL20 archives (especially if you are in
North America), the mirrors of SIMTEL20, and garbo mirrors
(wuarchive.wustl.edu, archie.au, NCTUCCCA.edu.tw), or any other ftp
site that has the desired files.  If you are not familiar with FTP,
you are welcome to ask me for our prerecorded instructions for
garbo.uwasa.fi by electronic mail if you have a reachable electronic
mail address yourself. If you do not receive my reply within five
days, please ask your own site's system manager to construct a
returnable mail path for you.

If you don't have FTP then (but only then) consider the mail
servers.  As explained in the above, I can send you our prerecorded
instructions. They also cover the Garbo's mail server. Just send an
electronic mail request to my email address.  As for the mail
servers of the other archive sites, trying to provide that
information is beyond our scope.

If these options are not open to you, you could consider BBSes.  For
example Detroit Download Central in the USA 313-885-3956 has
SIMTEL20 files (and thus probably all my packages including
tsfaq##.zip Frequently Asked Questions I so often refer to).

I regret to inform that I cannot take the time to arrange sending
programs or other material from garbo.uwasa.fi archives by ordinary
physical mail. This kind of service is given rather by commercial
shareware distributors, and individual shareware authors.
