FTP Rferences

I'm trying to collect all my FTP references into this one document so you can see the following note.

Note:

At least one Web browser hangs up frequently on my system when I chase FTP links. Except as noted, all of these links worked when I tried them using Anarchie.

The hangup problem went away when I installed Netscape-Defrost on my Mac. You can get it from your nearest Info-Mac mirror (see below).

ftp://gulag.gu.uwa.edu.au/pub/alt-keyboards

Includes several Macintosh Dvorak conversions. This is one of many Info-Mac mirror sites with loads of Mac software.
