This FTP directory contains files related to World War II. The majority of the files are the monthly archives for "50 Years Ago", a daily column distributed in the Usenet newsgroup soc.history.war.world-war-ii as well as the World War II mailing list. I have also included some other WW II related files that I've found interesting. Instructions for downloading 50 YA articles - The articles are stored by month. To retrieve the articles by FTP, open host "ftp.netcom.com", enter "anonymous" when prompted for login ID, enter your Internet mail address when prompted for password. To change to the directory where the articles are stored enter "cd /pub/jbd". The file name identifies the month (example - aug1944.txt, contains the August 1944 articles). ---------- John Davis jbd@netcom.com Cary, N.C. ----------
