Subject: <q:9.01> - How do I use ftp? 
Date: Wed, 10 Oct 94 15:34:00 CDT

    I was much impressed with {The Whole Internet User's Guide and
    Catalog} by Ed Krol (O'Reilly & Associates, second edition ISBN
    1-56592-063-5).  It gives lots of information on using ftp, email,
    Telnet, Archie, etc.  As a new user of ftp (January 1993), I found
    the information made me productive quickly.  (Disclosure:  Though I
    don't believe it has biased my judgment, you should know that
    O'Reilly sent me a free evaluation copy.)

    You may also want to look at the "Anonymous FTP FAQ List". You can
    get it from:

        <ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/ftp-list/faq>
        <ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/doc-net/ftp-list.zip>
        <ftp://oak.oakland.edu/SimTel/msdos/info/ftp-list.zip>

    When downloading a file by ftp, make sure you have write access to
    your working directory on your local machine, and that your disk has
    enough space to hold the files.  Also make sure that if it's a ZIP
    file or other binary file type, you set the protocol to binary
    before downloading the file.

------------------------------

Subject: <q:9.02> - What are SimTel, Garbo, and Wustl? 

    These are three of the most popular archive sites, with a few
    bazillion files available for free downloading by ftp.  (For email
    access, see <q:9.03> - "I have no ftp access.  How can I get files
    from the archives?".)  Many of the files are shareware and you're
    expected to send a payment directly to the authors if you use them
    regularly.

    In comp.archives.msdos.d, Samuel Ko posts a two-part "Useful MS-DOS
    Programs at SIMTEL20 and Garbo"; it's downloadable as

        /pub/msdos/info/useful34.zip at SimTel
        /pc/filelist/useful34.zip at Garbo
        /pub/usenet/news.answers/msdos-archives/part* at rtfm.mit.edu.

    For rtfm.mit.edu instructions, see <q:1.13> "Where are FAQ lists
    archived?"

    A few words about file names and versions:  Many files at the
    archive sites are updated from time to time.  I verified every
    filename in this FAQ as of 24 Mar 1994 by ftp to the named sites, or
    by consulting their index files.  If you can't find a file given in
    these articles as mumble12.zip, perhaps there's a newer version; try
    mumble13.zip or mumble14.zip, or mumble*.zip if your ftp program
    supports wildcards (most do so).  Please let me know of any out-of-
    date file names.

    This FAQ should show both Garbo and SimTel directory and file names,
    if available, for every file mentioned for downloading.  If you see
    a listing for only one of them, it means that the file was not found
    at the other site, or that the other site's catalog shows an old
    version.

    Also remember that caps and lower case filenames are not
    interchangeable at most archive sites.

    1) SimTel = The SimTel archive is run by Coast-to-Coast
    Telecommunications. SimTel contains thousands od MS-DOS, Microsoft
    Windows, and Microsoft Windows NT shareware and freeware programs.
    oak.oakland.edu, located at the University of Oakland in Rochester,
    Michigan USA, is the primary SimTel mirror, and there are also many
    other mirror sites including wuarchive.wustl.edu, archive.orst.edu,
    ftp.uu.net, nic.funet.fi, archie.au, and nctucca.edu.tw.  For
    instructions, see these monthly articles in
    comp.archives.msdos.announce:

        How to find files in the SIMTEL20 msdos collection
        How to order SIMTEL20 files via e-mail
        How to upload files to SIMTEL20

    These are downloadable from SimTel as

        /SimTel/msdos/filedocs/aaaread.me
        /SimTel/msdos/filedocs/mailserv.inf
        /SimTel/msdos/filedocs/upload.inf.

    2) Garbo = garbo.uwasa.fi [128.214.87.1] is located at the
    University of Vaasa in Finland and maintained by Timo Salmi
    (ts@uwasa.fi) and others.  Garbo and SimTel contain many of the same
    files, but there are many differences too.  Among them: the
    directory structures differ greatly, and case is significant in
    directory and file names at Garbo.

    3) wustl = wuarchive.wustl.edu [128.252.135.4] mirrors, among
    others, Garbo (in /systems/ibmpc/garbo) and SimTel (in
    /systems/ibmpc/msdos).  As with any mirror site, it may lag by a day
    or two, so you may not want to try it on the same day you see an
    upload notice posted. WUSTL also has its own archive; however, it
    is very unorganized, but you may be able to find some good programs.

    4) others:

    A comprehensive list of MS-DOS archive sites is downloadable as

        /pc/pd2/moder35.zip at Garbo
        /pub/msdos/info/moder35.zip at SimTel.

    For archie.au via Telnet (different from the Archie file-finding
    mail servers):  Oceanian users should try archie.au first.  Paul
    Brooks has written to say that it "mirrors Garbo and SimTel-20 (in
    /micros/pc/simtel-20, /micros/pc/garbo) as well as many other
    archives.  Telnetting to 'archie.au' and logging on as 'archie' (no
    password) will access the Oceanic ARCHIE server." Email Craig Warren
    (ccw@archie.au) for instructions if needed.

------------------------------

Subject: <q:9.03> - I have no ftp access.  How can I get files from the
                archives?

    First, be sure that you have no ftp access before trying email
    methods.  (Ask your sysadmin, or a knowledgeable user at your site.)
    ftp is better for you because it's faster, and it uses less net
    resources too.

    When using an email server, make sure the Reply-to path in your
    message is valid.  If it's not, you'll get no reply from the server.
    Do wait a few days before assuming you're not going to get a
    response; some servers have long pending queues.  After a suitable
    wait, get your sysadmin's help to correct your reply-to, and send
    your message again.

    Occasionally a machine goes down for an extended period, which may
    prevent a timely reply to your message.  If you're sure your message
    bears a good reply path and you haven't got a reply in a week or so,
    you might send your message again, once.  Don't post it as an
    article in a newsgroup.

    For files from SimTel, see "How to order SIMTEL20 files via e-mail",
    posted monthly in comp.archives.msdos.announce; or send email
    containing only the word "help" to listserv@vm1.nodak.edu.  For
    instructions on using Garbo's email server, send a request to Timo
    Salmi at ts@uwasa.fi.

    The DEC Western Research Labs server will get files from any ftp
    site by ftp and then email them to you.  Send email containing
    "help" to ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com.

------------------------------

Subject: <q:9.04> - Can I get archives on CD-ROM?

    Copies of the SimTel MS-DOS, Macintosh and Unix-C collections (also
    of wuarchive, cica, and others) are available from Walnut Creek
    CDROM, 1547 Palos Verdes, Suite 260, Walnut Creek, CA 94596-2228,
    telephone (800) 786-9907 or +1 510 674-0783, or FAX +1 510 674-0821,
    or email rab@cdrom.com.

    For a catalog of disks available, send email to info@cdrom.com, or
    ftp the catalog as /cdrom/catalog from cdrom.com.

------------------------------

Subject: <q:9.05> - Where do I find program <mumble>?

    You _are_ asking about shareware, freeware, or public-domain
    programs, right?  Commercial software is not legally distributed
    through the net, in general.  (Occasionally vendors will make
    patches available, but these are useful only to upgrade software you
    already own.)

    That said, there are several newsgroups to help you find a program.
    comp.binaries.ibm.pc.wanted is generally the best place to ask your
    question.  Please review the guidelines in <q:1.08> "What other
    technical newsgroups should I know about?"

    Download and check the indexes from SimTel and Garbo (see <q:9.06>
    "How can I check SimTel or Garbo before I post a request for a
    program?").  Unless what you're looking for is commercial software,
    there's a good chance it will be at one or both of those sites.  The
    Archie servers maintain directories of many (not all) ftp sites
    worldwide.  You can Telnet to a server or client to search for
    files, or perform a search by email.

------------------------------

Subject: <q:9.06> - How can I check SimTel or Garbo before I post a request
               for a program?

    SimTel and Garbo have indexes of their contents, which you can
    download and then search off line.

    Garbo's index file, /pc/INDEX.ZIP, contains an annotated list, often
    updated, of the MS-DOS files there.  The news file /pc/pd2/news-pd2
    contains selected news on all MS-DOS directories at Garbo.

    SimTel's index files, in /pub/msdos/filedocs, are updated several
    times a month.  simlist.zip contains a list in text format.  But you
    may prefer the file simindex.zip, which is comma-delimited for easy
    use with any of these search facilities:

    - Two downloadable search programs are simtel35.zip and
      simdir22.zip.

    - dBASE III or IV users can load the index from simindex.zip using
      instructions in simibm.inf and simibm.db3.

    - PC-FILE users should get simibm.hdr, which tells how to use
      simibm.ibm.

------------------------------

Subject: <q:9.07> - How do I download and decode a program I found?

    See the "Starter kit" and "Beginner's guide to binaries" in
    comp.binaries.ibm.pc, usually posted on the first and 15th of every
    month.  Please wait for these articles to come around; don't post a
    request.  If you can't wait, they are downloadable from

        Garbo as /pc/doc-net/starter.kit and bin.man
        rtfm.mit.edu in /pub/usenet/comp.binaries.ibm.pc .  The file
            names are quite long; try look for names of the form
            *starter.kit* and *bin.man*

    For rtfm.mit.edu instructions, see <q:1.13> "Where are FAQ lists
    archived?"

    Most binaries are posted and sent through email in 'uuencode'
    format.  The starter kit contains a uudecode program to turn this
    file back into binary.  Since the uuencoded file is bigger than the
    binary, you'll save connect time if you can uudecode it and then
    download the binary file.  Remember to set file type to binary.

------------------------------

Subject: <q:9.08> - Where is UUDECODE?

    You can find it at SimTel and Garbo, but it's easier to take it from
    the "starter kit" mentioned in the preceding Q.

    If you're logged in at a Unix site, there's almost certainly a
    uudecode there:  just type "uudecode" followed by a space and the
    file name.  The binary file is 25% smaller than the uuencoded file,
    so you'll save connect time if you can uudecode it on the Unix host
    and then download the binary file.  Remember: set file type binary.

------------------------------

Subject: <q:9.09> - Why do I get errors when extracting from a ZIP file I
        downloaded?

    There are many possible causes, but two of them probably account for
    95% of all problems.

    1) File transmission:  You must tell the archive site to transfer
    ZIP files in binary mode.  Depending on your software, you may also
    need to set your local software to receive files in binary mode.

    2) Unzipping program:  Make sure you aren't using an obsolete
    version.  In <9303290853.kp28285@tacom-emh1.army.mil> on 29 Mar
    1993, Keith Petersen, SimTel administrator, wrote:  "SIMTEL20 has
    standardized on the Info-ZIP group's ZIP and UNZIP because they are
    freely distributable and they have no restrictions on exporting.
    The latest version of Info-ZIP's ZIP and UNZIP can always be found
    in directory" /pub/msdos/zip "and will always have the name 'Info-
    ZIP' in the description to make them easy to locate."  PKUNZIP
    version 1.10 may not unzip newer stuff from archive sites because
    site administrators have now embraced version 2.04.  Also see "9.03 -
    What's the current version of UNZIP?"

Subject: <q:10.02> - How can I contact Microsoft?
Date: Wed, 09 Oct 95 15:34:00 CDT

    Individual employees of Microsoft (not MicroSoft, please!) post here
    sometimes.  Their addresses all take the form person@microsoft.com.
    However, Microsoft as a company does not answer individual questions
    via email through the Internet.

    1) information available via anonymous ftp

    Microsoft's anonymous FTP server (ftp.microsoft.com) offers
    a variety of information for developers. This ftp server is
    run using Windows NT Version 3.5, so it supports both UNIX-
    like and DOS-like path names. For example \SOFTLIB\INDEX.TXT
    and /SOFTLIB/INDEX.TXT are both valid. Filenames are not case
    sensitive.

    These files in the root directoy may be of interest:

    index.txt   Information about FTP.MICROSOFT.COM

    dirmap.txt  List of all directories at FTP.MICROSOFT.COM

    ls-lr.zip   FTP.MICROSOFT.COM file list. Compressed using

    For tech support you must make an ordinary long-distance phone call.
    Microsoft has separate incoming phone numbers for many products.
    Since it's your nickel, first check your documentation to see if a
    phone number is listed.  Here are phone numbers (as of 1 June 1992)
    for a few products of most interest to the readers of this group:

        C/C++               (206) 635-7007
        MASM                (206) 646-5109
        DOS Upgrade Users   (206) 646-5104 (for 90 days after first
            call)
        Windows Users       (206) 637-6098

    If you can't find the direct number any other way, call the "master"
    numbers below or the sales numbers a few paragraphs above.  You'll
    get the "voice mail phone tree from h-ll" but you'll eventually get
    to the right department.  They don't provide technical assistance,
    but a voice menu will help you find the current phone number for the
    department you need.

        U.S. end-user product support         (206) 454-2030
        U.S. languages support                (206) 637-7096

Subject: <q:10.03> - What's the current version of UNZIP?
Date: Wed, 05 Sep 94 15:34:00 CDT

    The current version of PKWare's PKZip is 2.04g.
    The current version of InfoZip's ZIP is 2.0.1.
    The current version of InfoZip's UNZIP is 5.12.

    Since April 1993, the administrators of Garbo and SimTel have
    accepted uploads in the ZIP 2.0 format.  You can use the free Info-
    ZIP versions, or PKZIP 2.04g (not 2.04c or 2.04e).  SimTel has
    standardized on the Info-ZIP versions for several reasons, as
    explained in an article posted 29 Mar 1993 in
    comp.archives.msdos.announce.

    The primary source of the free Info-ZIP programs is at ftp.uu.net,
    directory /pub/archiving/zip; or at quest.jpl.nasa.gov, directory
    /pub.  Files are in those directories or in subdirectories as shown
    below.  The DOS executable for UNZIP is self extracting; all others
    require UNZIP 5.0, 5.1, 5.11 or 5.12:

        MSDOS/unzip512x.exe - DOS executable and doc, UNZIP 5.12
        unzip512.zip - source code for UNZIP 5.12, all platforms
        MSDOS/zip20x.zip - DOS exe and doc, ZIP without crypt support
        zip201.zip - source code for ZIP 2.0, all platforms
        MSDOS/zcryp20x.zip - DOS exe and doc, ZIP with crypt support
        zcrypt21.zip - source code for ZIP crypt support
        WINDOWS/wunz20x.zip - Windows 3.1 WIZUNZIP 2.0 exe and help file
        WINDOWS/wunz20sr.zip - Windows 3.1 WIZUNZIP 2.0 source

    The essential files are also available at SimTel in /pub/msdos/zip
    and at Garbo in /pc/arcers.

    PKZIP and PKUNZIP are shareware products of PKWARE Inc.  The current
    version is 2.04g, which is the third official version after 1.10.
    They are downloadable

        from PKWARE's bulletin board, +1 414 354 8670, or
        from Garbo as /pc/arcers/pkz204g.exe
        from SimTel as /msdos/zip/pkz204g.exe

    By the way, if you want to develop your own utilities, you will find
    the ZIP 2.0 data structures described in the downloadable file
