Re: Film Still Best for Many Applications? (was Ruminations... )

Old style FTP is available under your dos box in windows it uses the 
classic, i.e. "inscrutable UNIX" interface.  I refuse to buy an extra 
software.  In Windows ME so I would assume that it's the same in Win2K 
and WinXP in Network Places you can set up a virtual drive on a remote 
computer using FTP.  I find the character based UNIX style interface 
more reliable but the windows based version has the advantage of working 
within the MS Windows metaphor.

What's FTP?

FTP is file transfer protocol. It's a way of delivering files to a 
server that's faster and more direct than e-mail. I use it to deliver 
pics to my stock house. You need software designed for that sort of 
transfer. I use a program called "Fetch/" It's available on the web 
and relatively inexpensive.

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings
