Thanks to the information buried deep in one of the summaries
(about the on-line services used by the readers) I managed to
connect with SUMEX archives & found TransSkel there. In case you
missed the relevant article or (like myself) are still discovering
all the important Unix tools, here's how (stuff in brackets is what
you type, braces - my comments):

[ftp sumex.stanford.edu]
{after a while you'll see: blah blah...} connected
{or, of course, "login timed out" :-(}
{now ftp will ask you for the login name, displaying your standard
 name as the default; don't hit return; instead, say [ANONYMOUS]}
{hopefully, you'll be prompted for password, being you "real id";
 I used my login name (khayo) at this point, but I guess it can be
 anything; after that you should be happily hooked up to the remote
 host}
ftp> [ls] {to see the full directory, if you aren't only interested
           in Mac stuff, or...}
     [cd INFO-MAC] {and don't worry about the some nonsense about
                    password being needed here, just ignore it}
ftp> {now you can see the directory of all the goodies by typing}
     [ls]   {or, for printing etc., transfer the directory to your
             machine by typing}
     [ls * <local file name>] {* has the usual wildcard meaning,
             so you can restrict the listing, eg. *REDRYDER*}
ftp> {to download the files you want, say...}
     [get <remote file name> <local file name - optional>]
     {the TransSkel files have names:
      UTILITY-TRANSSKEL-MULTISKEL-PAS.HQX
      UTILITY-TRANSSKEL-PART1.HQX
      UTILITY-TRANSSKEL-PART2.HQX
      UTILITY-TRANSSKEL-PART3.HQX
      UTILITY-TRANSSKEL-PASCAL-DEMOS.HQX
      UTILITY-TRANSSKEL-PASCAL-DOC.HQX
      It is certainly worthwhile to try a wildcard in "get" to download
      all of them, but I don't know if it will work.
      I assume they are in BinHex format, but I haven't downloaded
      them yet. Moreover, I see that there are also two similar
      sets of files, as above but TRANSSKEL is replaced by TRANSEDIT
      in one case and by TRANSDISPLAY in the other (except the
      "MULTISKEL" file has no counterparts in either of those sets);
      I suspect they are somehow related, but - as I said - give me
      time.}
ftp> [bye] {after you're through}

I hope it helps.                    Eric

I'm sick & tired of editing my incorrect address in the header.
The *correct* one is khayo@MATH.UCLA.EDU; I have no connection
with the CS Department, except that we breathe the same smog.
