FTPing TwentyNothig

This document explains how you can FTP your favorite electronic magazine, TwentyNothing, without even leaving the comfort of your hypermedia browser of choice.

First, you want to set Binary Transfer Mode to ON. If you are using XMosaic, this is an option on the (surprise) Options menu.

Next, you want to decide whether you want the DOS version, the Windows version, or the Mac version.

Decided? Good. Now

Click DOS Fall 93 if you want the DOS version of the 1993 Fall issue.

That's it. Now your browser software will prompt you on where you want to save the file. Wait a second or two for the electrons to whiz across the information superhighway, and voila.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to set immediately set your Binary Transfer Mode back to OFF. Or, like, you will be hating life big time.
