- You may also want to get 00Index from directory /pub/os2/2.0
- which is the list of files in the /pub/os2/2.0 directory hierarchy.
- It gives the directory, filename, file size and a description of
- each file there. You can browse this list before you ftp.
-
- There is also another 00Index in directory /pub/os2/all. This,
- of course, describes the /pub/os2/all directory hierarchy. To
- avoid confusion, I named these files 00Index.20 and 00Index.all
- on my machine.
