Subject: Handicap News ftp updates
From: wtm@bunker.afd.olivetti.com (Bill McGarry)
Organization: Olivetti North America

I have added about two hundred new and updated files to
the Handicap News ftp archives.  Most of these have been
added in the past two weeks.  So the next dozen or so
articles will be notifications of the additions.

Also, all of the ZIP files have now been upgraded to
PKZIP release 2.04g.  There are several versions of
unzip executables that will run on different types of
computers in the /pub/general directory.  If you are unable
to unzip a file on the particular type computer that you
are running, please let me know and I will arrange to have
the file that you looking for to be put into a different
format or not archived.  Unfortunately, due to disk space,
I cannot have all of the text files in Ascii format; they
are all archived in ZIP format.

To obtain these files, use ftp to connect with "handicap.afd.olivetti.com"
(ip address is 129.189.4.184).  Log in as "anonymous" and please
use your email address as your password.  You will now be in
the "/pub" directory.  In this directory, there is an index file
containing information about this ftp site and a complete listing
of all of the files.

These files are also available from the Handicap News BBS
at 1-203-926-6168 (300 to 14,400 baud).  First time callers have
full download privileges.  These files are also available via
File Request through Fidonet (1:141/420).

If you are downloading a ZIP file, please be sure that you are
in binary mode.

If you have any problems, please let me know.

                                Bill McGarry
