 Q: APPENDIX A: Obtaining (downloading) the Programs by FTP
 ==========================================================

   You can obtain the file(s) from garbo.uwasa.fi (193.166.120.5)
using the InterNet ftp (file transfer program) with username
"anonymous". For a login password use your electronic mail address.
If you are using ftp from a VAX/VMS system, set case lower before
proceeding.
   Consider as an example the programs of Timo Salmi. The files are
in directory /pc/ts. At the ftp> prompt first type binary (for
binary files). To go to the relevant directory apply cd /pc/ts. To
see its contents apply ls or dir. To download a file, use get
filename or mget filenames. The files have been packed with Unix Zip
so on MS-DOS you will need PKUNZIP from PKWARE or some other unzip
program to unpack them on your PC.
   The following contains the same information by giving the
commands needed for transferring vaasa.inf (contains text on
Finland, Vaasa, and University of Vaasa) and tspfon30.zip as an
example. In the example its is assumed that you are calling from a
Unix system. The usage for a VAX/VMS system is quite similar.

ftp                   #Invoke the file transfer program
open garbo.uwasa.fi   #Connect to Garbo at the University of Vaasa
anonymous             #Use this name to get temporary privileges
Give (at least) the first part of your email address as your password
cd /pc/ts             #Go to the relevant directory
dir  (or ls -lF)      #Directory of available files
ascii                 #vaasa.inf is an ordinary text file
get vaasa.inf         #Copy the file to your default directory
binary                #tspfon30.zip is a binary file
mget tspfon*.zip      #mget allows wildcards
close                 #Terminate the connection
quit                  #Quit the file transfer program
