Subject: Prerecorded answers on ts-progs

             The old, partly outdated information
             ====================================

------------------- begin prerecorded message ----------------------

There are some frequently asked questions about the ts-programs
available from garbo.uwasa.fi, by anonymous ftp and WWW from the
/pc/ts directory here at the University of Vaasa, Finland, site
193.166.120.5. Below you will find some of them prerecorded with
answers. Please notice that the questions / answers are not in any
logical order. The order has more or less been dictated by the
arriving questions. And, there is overlapping. Also please note that
although these questions and answers concern the /pc/ts directory,
much of the information is directly applicable to the other
directories at our site.

Please note the provisions of using the ts-programs. You are free to
use them for your personal, private purposes, and you are free and
encouraged to upload them to bulletin boards. But if you use the
programs, say, at a university or a business enterprise then you
must consider the programs shareware and you should contact me for
the terms of a personal or a site license.

If you are well familiar with FTP and mail servers please note the
following. Using automated FTP (batchftp) is preferred, since it
minimizes the connection time (it is convenient for you, anyway).
Furthermore, use mail servers *ONLY* if you don't have the FTP
potential.
