I was very glad to see the announcement on Info-dec-micro-FILES.
Two remarks:

(1)  How does one request files by MAIL ?  Is there an automatic
server ?  What is the syntax of the commands ?

(2)  I see that everything is ZIP'ed.  There is one disadvantage to
ZIP vs. ARC :  There are no ZIP programs on the mainframe.  I
prefer to unpack everything on the mainframe first, and then
download to the Rainbow only what is needed.  Digests, for
example, remain on the mainframe.  The ZIP format will
require me to transfer them to the Rainbow, unzip, arc, transfer to
to the mainframe, and unarc!  So I suggest using (PK)ARC
compression until there are more ZIP implementations available.
