Subject: Need file descriptions

11. *****
 Q: Is there a description of the programs? I would like to have
some information on the files before I start transferring them.

 A: Yes, certainly. This approach is even recommended. There is a
file called ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/INDEX.ZIP (with MS-DOS eolns)
which is the annotated list of the MS-DOS files on Garbo. This index
file is also available in the (more bloated) ascii format as
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/filelist/INDEX.TXT (but please rather use
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/INDEX.ZIP). It is also available in Unix
compressed format ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/filelist/garboidx.gz (Unix
eolns). Furthermore, there are three news files
 ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/pd2/news_pd2.txt
 ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/ts/0news_ts.txt
 ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/unix/ts/0news_u.txt
Note that /pc/pd2/news_pd2.txt contains selected news on all /pc
(MS-DOS) and /windows (Win 3.1x) directories, not just on /pc/pd2.
   Then there is a ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/INDEXTS.ZIP. It contains
detailed information on the contents of each package in the /pc/ts
directory.
  For the Windows see ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/windows/WINDEX.ZIP and
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/win95/W95INDEX.ZIP
  For the annotated contents of our Unix directories see
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/unix/UINDEX.ZIP
  For the annotated list of garbo.uwasa.fi Sinclair QL files see
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/ql/QLINDEX.TXT

 A2: Even if I like to try to help whenever I can, I cannot answer
questions asking me to describe particular files, or to take a
closer look what is in them on behalf of an individual user. I
simply cannot afford the time. Please do not even ask.
