- What are SimTel and Garbo?
These are three of the most popular archive sites, with a few bazillion files available for free downloading by ftp. Many of the files are shareware and you're expected to send a payment directly to the authors if you use them regularly. SimTel can be found at: <http://www.simtel.net> Garbo can be found at: <http://garbo.uwasa.fi> A few words about file names and versions: Many files at the archive sites are updated from time to time. I verified every filename in this FAQ as of 08 Feb 2002 by ftping to the named sites, or by consulting their index files. If you can't find a file given in these articles as mumble12.zip, perhaps there's a newer version; try mumble13.zip or mumble14.zip, or mumble*.zip if your ftp program supports wildcards (most do so). Please let me know of any out-of-date file names. This FAQ should show both Garbo and SimTel directory and file names, if available, for every file mentioned for downloading. If you see a listing for only one of them, it means that the file was not found at the other site, or that the other site's catalog shows an old version. Also remember that caps and lower case filenames are not interchangeable at most archive sites.
