been updated, or has changed, since the last Listing.  

A --- before an entry indicates that the _prior_ entry 
was removed from the list, since the last Listing.
===================

This is the list of FTP sites containing software and programs
specific to the Commodore 64 and 128 computers, and one Vic20 site,
as well as one for the PET.  When available URL addresses are also
listed, for alternate access.

I will try to keep this list as current and accurate as possible, so
that it can be a useful resource for users of the newsgroup.

PLEASE cooperate and send E-mail with any corrections and updates.  If
you uncover a site not listed, tell me so that it can be added.  If a
site has closed or no longer carries CBM software, let me know and it
will be deleted.  

=====

To use this list on a UNIX system, just type 'ftp <sitename>', where
<sitename> is any of the Host or FTP sites listed below.  Use 'anonymous'
as your login, and your E-mail address for the password.  Or, use the
newer and easier, NcFTP. Type NcFTP <sitename>.  If you find yourself
at the FTP> or NcFTP> prompts, type OPEN <sitename>.  You can change
and list directories with 'cd' and 'dir', respectively, and download
files to your system using 'get'.  Be sure to specify either 'binary'
if you are getting a program, or 'ascii' for a text file before you
begin the download.
=====

In addition to the sites listed below, which have CBM software, there
are hundreds of other FTP sites on INet with interesting files covering
every topic imaginable.  Take some time to seek out and explore these
other sites and their files too.

Enjoy!
