How can I get Waffle by ftp ? Anonymous ftp: ------------- Waffle (DOS version) is available via anonymous ftp from (the old) SimTel and its various mirror sites as follows: oak.oakland.edu SimTel/msdos/waffle/waf165.zip wuarchive.wustl.edu /mirrors/msdos/waffle/waf165.zip There are other Coast/SimTel mirror sites. See the periodic postings in comp.archives.msdos.announce and news.answers for more details. In addition, ftp.halcyon.com has a large waffle-related FTP area: ftp.halcyon.com /pub/waffle/waffle/waf165.zip halcyon mirrors (keeps a current copy of) the (old) simtel waffle files, the simtel offline-mail files, and the tau-ceti fx suite. it's your one-stop waffle ftp site. be sure to send mail to `ralphs' thanking him for donating the resources, and to `hpage' for being the ongoing archivist. 2. What if I'm not on the Internet ? From the author's BBS: --------------------- The Dark Side of the Moon BBS 1.408.245.SPAM (7726) (Tom Dell) From (old) SimTel and mirrors via mail-based-archive-servers: ------------------------------------------------------------ A number of sites run archive-servers to give non-Internet folks the ability to do the equivalent of ftp-by-mail. If you do not have FTP access to (old) SimTel, files may be ordered by mail from: Internet-style: listserv@vm1.nodak.edu listserv@vm.ecs.rpi.edu UUCP-style: uunet!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv uunet!vm.ecs.rpi.edu!listserv Send this command to the server to get its help file: GET PDGET HELP NOTE: remember that if you request items from an archive-server via mail, that your traffic goes through every system between the server and you, and adds such load on each system. Be courteous. There are a number of periodic postings in news.answers that tell how to get software via mail in far more detail than what is provided here.
