/FHQ7: Where can I get freeware and shareware DESQview programs?/FB There are quite a few DESQview repositories available, depending on what network access you have. /FLBBS/FB The official Quarterdeck BBS can be reached at (310) 314-3227.

It is also accessable on Telenet via PC Pursuit and on Tymnet via StarLink outdial. /FLFidonet/FB Many Fidonet nodes belong to DVNet, the DESQview File Distribution Network.

See UUNET file uunet!~//info//archive-help for details. /FLEmail-only/FB If you do not have FTP access to SIMTEL20, files may be ordered by e-mail from LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU or LISTSERV@VM.ECS.RPI.EDU. /ML4/If you are on BITNET: LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 or LISTSERV@RPIECS If your mailer knows domains: listserv@vm1.nodak.edu or listserv@vm.ecs.rpi.edu If your mailer wants bang paths: uunet!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv uunet!vm.ecs.rpi.edu!listserv If you use bang paths, substitute your nearest neighbor which is also on the Internet for uunet in the examples above. Some examples are: ames, decvax, decwrl, harvard, hplabs, nosc, rutgers, sharkey, sun, ucbvax, ucsd, udel, uw-beaver, wuarchive. Send this command to the server to get its help file: GET PDGET HELP Sample command (which gets the catalog of MS-DOS files): //PDGET MAIL PD:SIMLIST.ARC UUENCODE These commands should be sent as the body of a regular email message. Do not include a signature because it confuses the server. If you have xxdecode, you may wish to specify XXENCODE instead of UUENCODE to avoid character translation problems. To get a catalog of the DESQview files only, use //PDGET MAIL PD1:00-INDEX.TXT UUENCODE
