Obtaining the Example Programs
The example programs in this book are available electronically in a number of ways: by ftp,
ftpmail, bitftp, and uucp. The cheapest, fastest, and easiest ways are listed first. If you read
from the top down, the first one that works for you is probably the best. Use ftp if you are
directly on the Internet. Use ftpmail if you are not on the Internet but can send and receive
electronic mail to internet sites (this includes CompuServe users). Use
BITFTP if you send
electronic mail via BITNET. Use UUCP if none of the above works.
FTP
To use FTP, you need a machine with direct access to the Internet. A sample session is
shown, with what you should type in boldface.
