Subject: SIMTEL20 shell script

I thought I would pass this little thingie along for those wanting
to get files from SIMTEL20.  In order to get the directory, you
have to mail a request according to the helpfiles that have been
posted here from time to time.  BTW, I didn't write this file;
someone else did, a friend of mine with access to an MS-DOS machine
gave me a copy of the shell script and I modified it to suit my
needs.  As it stands, it sends files to my system.  You have to
modify it so it knows where you want your files to go, and how to
get to the list server.

Enjoy!!!!  (Or at least try...)
