Well,  as  you  say  below,  just  mail  the  file to those  who  are
interested.  Here's a  better solution:  get an account with a better
Internet provider who gives you full TCP/IP access.  There are plenty
of them about.  As far as ftp'ing files is concerned anyone with mail
can get files from ftp sites with the FTPmail service (can't remember
the details).   I don't think there's a corresponding upload service, 
though there might be.

How does everyone get hold of Win95?  I contacted Microsoft about the 
beta programme and didn't here a squeak.

Anyone in the UK get a copy?
