I'll be glad to download those files for you.  I can manage the standard
8" SSSD just fine.

Something else though -- have you a modem and a serial port?  If so, it's
relatively easy to download stuff from the net.  Little pieces:  use PIPMODEM,
which also has the simple terminal capability to net in the first place.
I've successfully downloaded 500 80-col lines of text, using PIP's buffer
alone (no chance to lose characters that way while PIP writes to disk).
Using PIPMODEM, you can bring over a more sophisticated program like MBOOT,
which has a little better capability to download larger files.

If using your own machine is out of the question (no ports, no modem,
no available dial-up ports to the ARPAnet, whatever), sure -- I'll do the
disk thing for you.  Incidentally, I'm running a Morrow Decision I, whose
usual disk format is 8" double sided double density with 1024-byte sectors.
If you want high-density like that, can do; also single sided 256, 512,
and 1024 byte/sector formats.

Alternatively, if you don't have an ARPAnet port, but do have a telephone
and 300 or 1200 baud modem, I can always work a civilian telephone line
modem download to you.

Contact me via ARPAnet at ABN.ISCAMS@USC-ISID, or call me (work

around 1800 (East Coast time).
