# -O- http files without a WWW client

    From: -XI- Where can I get these packages?

    Within the various TCL FAQs there are references to items in the
    form of http://host.name/path/to/file .  These are in a form
    which are useful to WorldWideWeb (WWW) clients.  But for those unable
    to use WWW for some reason, there is a modicum of relief.  To access
    these files via email:

    1. Address a message to: <URL:mailto:listserv@info.cern.ch>

    2. There is no need for a Subject: line.

    3. In the body of the message, type:
    send http://host.name/path/to/file

    4. Be sure to provide the path name you are seeking rather than the
    sample above.  Eventually you should get back the file in question.
