-
- You may want to ftp the README file(s) to determine which files to transfer to

-
- For the PC version, you have your choice of tar files which contain the
- documentation, the programs and supporting files. For each tar file, there is
- also a compressed tar file with the same contents. After the files are
- extracted from the tar file, some transfer method (e.g. kermit, NCSA Telnet)
- should be used to download the files to the PC. The documentation is
- available in line printer format and Macintosh Microsoft Word format.
- Remember to download .EXE files in binary mode.
-
- The Macintosh version consists of several files encoded with Stuff-It. The
- BinHex (.HQX) version is a duplicate copy for those who need a non-binary
- distribution. Download the selections you need with a binary transfer method
- (kermit, NCSA Telnet) and extract the individual files. The documentation is
- in Microsoft Word 3.X format.
