If you do not have ftp access, you can obtain the files archived at
SIMTEL20 and Garbo by e-mail ...
Keith Petersen, the moderator of SIMTEL20, writes:
If you do not have FTP access to SIMTEL20 or its mirrors, files may be
ordered by e-mail from these servers:
Location EARN/BITNET Internet
-------------- ---------------- ----------------------------------
In USA: LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU
In USA: LISTSERV@RPITSVM LISTSERV@VM.ITS.RPI.EDU
In Turkey: TRICKLE@TREARN TRICKLE@EGE.EDU.TR
In Italy: TRICKLE@IMIPOLI
In Belgium: TRICKLE@BANUFS11 TRICKLE@CCS.UFSIA.AC.BE
In Austria: TRICKLE@AWIWUW11
In Germany: TRICKLE@DEARN TRICKLE@VM.GMD.DE
In Israel: TRICKLE@TAUNIVM TRICKLE@VM.TAU.AC.IL
In Netherlands: TRICKLE@HEARN TRICKLE@HEARN.NIC.SURFNET.NL
In France: TRICKLE@FRMOP11 TRICKLE@FRMOP11.CNUSC.FR
In Colombia: TRICKLE@UNALCOL TRICKLE@UNALCOL.UNAL.EDU.CO
In Sweden: TRICKLE@SEARN TRICKLE@SEARN.SUNET.SE
If your mailer wants bang paths: uunet!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv
uunet!vm.its.rpi.edu!listserv
If you use bang paths, substitute your nearest neighbor which is also
on the Internet for uunet in the examples above. Some examples are:
ames, decvax, decwrl, harvard, hplabs, nosc, rutgers, sharkey, sun,
ucbvax, ucsd, udel, uw-beaver, wuarchive.
Send these commands to the server to get its help files:
Use this command for LISTSERV: GET PDGET HELP
Use this command for TRICKLE: /HELP
Sample command (which gets our catalog of MS-DOS files):
/PDGET MAIL PD:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMLIST.ZIP UUENCODE
These commands should be sent as the body of a regular email message.
Do not include a signature because it confuses the server. If you
have xxdecode, you may wish to specify XXENCODE instead of UUENCODE to
avoid character translation problems.
SIMTEL20 does *not* run these servers. Comments, questions, and
suggestions should be directed to the LISTSERV or TRICKLE manager at
one of these addresses, depending on which server you normally use:
Internet BITNET
"John Fisher" <FISHER@VM.ITS.RPI.EDU> <FISHER@RPITSVM>
"Marty Hoag" <INFO@VM1.NODAK.EDU> <INFO@NDSUVM1>
"TRICKLE Maintainers" <RED-BUG@EGE.EDU.TR> <RED-BUG@TREARN>
Please do NOT send your comment or question about the servers to SIMTEL20.
However, if you wish to report a program bug or to request information
on how to upload files to SIMTEL20, you may send e-mail to me at one
of the addresses below.
[Note: Do not use ftp-by-mail servers without the permission of your
system administrator and (if fed via uucp) your uucp feed. Thank
you. Justification: many sites simply don't have the disk space
set up to do this without warning, and mail disruption may result.]

Timo Salmi, the moderator of Garbo, writes:
To get files sent to you by email, please use our mail server.
To get more information write a message to mailserv@garbo.uwasa.fi.
The subject line of this message must be
garbo-request
The message must contain just the following text (at the beginning
of the line):
send help
Do not include a signature because it may confuse the server.
Our customary format for the file names when announcing programs for
ANONYMOUS FTP is e.g.
garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/dirutil/dirmat20.zip or
/pc/dirutil/dirmat20.zip
IMPORTANT!!! The format for the MAIL SERVER is slightly different:
send pc/dirutil/dirmat20.zip
In other words omit / from the path when using our mail server.
If you don't get any response to your mail server requests, under no
circumstances keep sending the same request over and over again.
Please ask your own site's system manager to construct a returnable
mail path for you.

chdir PLACE "get" and "ls" commands are relative to PLACE

and it executes before any LS/DIR/GETs)
compress compress binaries using Lempel-Ziv encoding
compact compress binaries using Huffman encoding
uuencode binary files will be mailed in uuencode format
btoa binary files will be mailed in btoa format
chunksize SIZE split files into SIZE-byte chunks (def: 64000)
