Hi,

A lot of people have mailed me requesting instructions on how to download
the cricketing shareware games Sticky Wicket and World Cup Cricket I
mentioned earlier.

Here then are some instructions.  I have tried to make them hopefully 
understandable.

Step 1
At your normal screen prompt type ftp and press return.  The prompt should
change to ftp>

Step 2
Enter open wuarchive.wustl.edu or open 128.252.135.4 to try and get a
connection to the archive.  If successful the screen should show something
like

Connected to wuarchive.wustl.edu.
220 wuarchive.wustl.edu FTP server (Version 6.38 Wed Jul 29 13:24:28 CDT 1992) ready
Name (wuarchive.wustl.edu:<Your login name>):

Step 3
Enter the user as anonymous
The display will now show something like
331 Guest login okay, send your compele e-mail address as password.
Password:
Enter your e-mail address as the password.  If you don't do this a message
will appear asking you to do so next.

Step 4
A page of text will appear saying that this is an experimental FTP server etc.
At the ftp> prompt enter binary  This ensures that the transfer is full 8-bit
and not ascii.  This is very important.  Failure to do so will mean the files
will not be transferred correctly.
The display will respond like
200 Type set to I.
The command binary is a toggle and needs only be entered once at the begining 
of a ftp session.

Step 5
Enter cd pub
The display will respond like
250 CWD command successful.
Enter cd MSDOS_UPLOADS  The capitals are important!
The display will show
250- Please read the file README
250-   it was last modified on .....
250 CWD command successful.

Step 6
To check the files are there enter ls stwicket.zip
The display will show
200 Port command successful.  and then hopefully
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
-rw-r--r--  1 3007     archive    86799  Aug 13 21:24 stwicket.zip
226 Transfer complete.
If the above does not appear check your spelt the filename correctly and if
it still isn't there mail me as the files have been deleted.

Step 7
To get the file enter get stwicket.zip
The display should show
200 Port command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for stwicket.zip (86799 bytes)
226 Transfer complete.
86799 bytes received in x seconds (y Kbytes/s)

There will be a delay between the Opening message and the transferred message
while the program is transferred.  If you want to see an indication of it
working enter hash at the ftp> prompt before the get command.  This will show
a # for every K that is transferred.  The hash command is a toggle and need
only be entered once.

To get worldcup.zip enter get worldcup.zip and a similar set of messages as
above will appear.

If for any reason the transfer fails this could be because you do not have 
enough space in your account to hold the files.  Sticky Wicket is about 86K
and World Cup Cricket is about 150K.

Step 8
Enter close at the ftp> prompt.
The display should show
221 Goodbye.

Yoy have now transferred the files to your own system.  To exit ftp enter
quit

Step 9
The files should appear when you do a normal directory listing.  The files
now need to be transferred to a PC.  The way to do this will differ from 
site to site but examples may include kermiting the file, logging the system
as an extra drive etc.  Your computer centre should be able to help you with
this step.

Step 10
When the files are on a PC disk/hard disk they still need to be unzipped.
To do this you will need a copy of the pkunzip program by PKware or the
free unzip program.  If you do not have a copy of this you will need to get
one.  If no one at your site has a copy there are available from wuarchive
in the directory /mirrors/msdos/zip as pkz110eu.exe and unzip42.exe.
Remember to get these as binary files.

Step 11
You are now able to run the programs.  Have fun

Any comments you have about the games please e-mail them to me.  I am not
yet sure how much it costs to register outside the UK.  I will contact the
author (only possible at present by snail mail) and find out.  I will imagine
that you will have to raise a cheque for UK pounds.  Most banks will be able
to do this for you at a cost.  Here in the UK it costs about 8 pounds (~14
US$) to raise such a cheque.

If you have any problems following these instructions or feel they could
have made worded better e-mail me and I will update this file for the
future.

	Daniel.
