- If you are like me, you want to get the patches directory stuff
- as soon as it becomes available. If you havent used the trickle servers
- yet, give it a try - you subscribe to patterns, like:
-
- <os2.patches>*
- <os2.archivers>pk
- etc.etc. and it sends you the file as soon as it is placed in the
- directory. The source of os2 is ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, so it's a large
- archive. Works really well.
-
- If you have an NJE (bitnet) address, it will sendfile the file, if not,
- it will encode it and mail it in pieces.. you pick the encoding
- scheme, like XXE,UUE,BTOA,HEX.. For more info, send a:
-
- /HELP
-
- command in a mail message to trickle@frmop11.bitnet, or
- trickle@frmop11.cnusc.fr... regards, -turgut
