Hey all!
For a while now I've been trying to figure out how one gets files from
the SIMTEL shareware site at http://www.simtel.net/pub/pd/ given the way
they've reorganized their site a year or so ago.  I can't seem to get an
actual URL that references the actual shareware file zip file I want to
fetch.  Rather, the web pages I fetch seem to lead one around in a circle
without ever giving one the URL for the actual file!  I could fetch it
with standard GET commands using a WWW4MAIL server if I had the reference
to the location of the actual file. Just putting in the file name under
that directory path doesn't seem to work. Has anyone figured a way to do
this via WWW4MAIL servers. For files I really want I've been able to get
away with accessing sites referenced as the site of the programs authors
in some cases but it sure would be easier to to directly get everything
from the simtel site itself as I get regular announcements of new files
they get in. Doesn't do me any good to go to a supposedly centralized
repository of files if I have to access multiple subdirectory pages to
search for a lead to where I can get the file at a site OTHER than the
SIMTEL site.
Thanks for any help in advance,
Mike
