You should not use absolute directory and file names (beginning with '/')
and parent directory reference ('..').

Shell wild cards ('*', '?', '[' etc) in file names are allowed.

Answers to the Frequently Asked Questions about the mail server
(in Russian) can be retrieved by the command (*):

    get faq/mailserv.faq

To get intro (in Russian) on the archive you can download files from
please issue the command (*):

    get readme

(*) NOTES:
1) Mailserv will send the files requested in the uuencoded form.
Uudecode them to obtain readable text (in mailx use the 'uu'
command).
2) These files contain KOI-8 coded text. DOS users can convert them
into DOS Alternating Coding form by the koi2alt program mentioned
in the example in the beginning of this help file.
