I am not going to try to give a piping lecture here, but if you have
the capability of getting files by anonymous ftp you might be
interested in getting /pc/ts/tsutlc16.arc and look at how the
DOUBLES.EXE program can be made to accept input from a YES files. 
But I am positive that someone will come with a good concise advice
here giving the outlines and principles rather than a mere reference
to an example.
