 AI> There is also an ITN mailer listening at the above address and you can request any file in the filebase by name.
 AI> Anyone is also free to browse and download files from the BBS FTP site at..
 AI> ftp://trmb.ca
 AI> That's an old style FTP site. Be sure to enter "binary" (without the quotes) from command prompt before downloading binary files like zip files.

 AI> Aside from that these files are available at any connected BBS and also the NASA website at where these file originate.
