Four days for off campus contributers. Please keep in mind that the archive is entirely staffed on a volunteer basis, so if you have a problem, try to be patient. We will get back to you. Once again, though, be aware that our archive is staffed on a volunteer basis. Read your user's manual on your communications package to determine how to download.
Binary files are programs, or text files that have been compressed with a compression program.
All files that end in ARC, ZIP, ZOO, LBR, EXE, or COM should be downloaded in binary. The first thing to download is a copy of one of the compression programs. PC1 software is mainly compressed in ZIP format, although we have a lot of older stuff compressed in ARC format. The same instructions will work to download PKZ204G.EXE from MTS, just change the file name. This is a short program which connects you to msdos.archive.umich.edu, changes to the proper directory, and puts the program on your MTS account.
