Dear User, Thank you for your faxed (or paper-mailed) inquiry about my programs or 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 FTP archive sites, for practical reasons you should first 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) or WWW (World Wide Web) then utilize that possibility to connect to an archive a site such as ours. 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 or WWW then (but only then) consider the mail servers. As explained in the above, I can send you our prerecorded instructions. They also contain a pointer to Garbo's mail server. Just send an electronic mail request for the instructions to my email address. As for the mail servers of the other archive sites, trying to provide that information is beyond our scope. 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. All the best, Timo ....................................................................
