Neil,

     If you TELNET, then you will access the same file directories as the
     BBS.  The WWW site has a lot of our published documentation, including
     application notes, but it does not carry the same files and
     directories as the BBS.  Between the two you should be able to find
     the information you need.

     If you TELNET, you might want to download the World Group Manager from
     the BBS and use this as your front end for communication on the BBS.
     Then you will be able to participate in the special interest groups on
     the BBS, send and receive mail on the BBS, and be informed of new
     software releases as they are posted.

     Darrel.
