Subject: Special characters in SIMTEL20 files

It may appear that some files in MICRO: are inaccessible when you try
to GET certain files with FTP.  The following info ought to clear up
the apparent problems...

All of the non-alphanumeric characters in TOPS-20 filenames, except a
limited few, are considered "special" characters.  Thus, you must
quote them with a real ^V.

For example, it is BY3^V+SMDM.ASM and SQ^V/USQ.whatever.

Sorry for the confusion.
