$$$$$$$$$ MONTHLY FAQ FOR KATE GURU WANNA BEES PART III $$$$$$$$$$$$$

[rhill@netrun.cts.com (ronald hill)]

If you don't have FTP (file transfer ability) you can still get the 
files by using an FTP mail server run by DEC.  You send it a list of 
commands and then it sends you the files as regular mail messages, so 
anyone who has the ability to send and receive private mail can use 
this.  If a file is larger then 60k it will be send as more then one 
message.  
        If you want to GET binary files (GIF picture files, Wordperfect 
files, or anything that's not straight text)  it will send you the 
files in a special text format called UUENCODED, you will need a 
program called UUDECODE for your computer to decode these.  Note that 
this is not always the most relible way of getting files, ie you may 
have to do it several times. 
        To start off using this, send a message to 
ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com, the first message should read simply HELP - 
don't bother with a subject line as these are ignored.  You will be 
sent back the basic commands and some examples, read this carefully (as 
much as you are able to understand).  Here are some specific examples 
for accessing the love-hounds archives, don't type the parts in 
brackets [].  Note that when typing in file names, upper and
lower case are important!
