- The Unicode Consortium has on-line versions of some reports and mapping
- tables. These can be obtained via "anonymous FTP" from the Internet site
- "UNICODE.ORG". To retrieve them, uses will need access to the Internet and
- the program "ftp" or a work-alike. There are programs that allow access
- to ftp by non-UNIX machines. One example of this is Fetch 2.1--FTP for the
- Macintosh; contact Fetch@dartmouth.edu for more information.
-
- A typical command for accessing ftp is:
-
- ftp unicode.org
-
- Shortly after entering this command, the following banner should appear:
-
- Connected to sarasvati.
