 I have seem several request for programs by various people. The usual reply is for this person to contact a site where these programs are archived, log on as anonymous and then download the program.  I have probably left out half of the steps. Could someone e-mail me information on how to contact an ftp site( is that the right name?) I am rather new at this, I just learned how to download a binary and convert it.   Thanks in advance
