For example, if you have FTP capabilities on your PC, open
a MS DOS Command Prompt. Type ftp. Type open www3.nashville.org,

in your directory. There will be three files. Type binary.
For each file, type get filename (i.e. get topoanno.dxf).
To end the ftp session, type quit. One of the files will
be zipped using PKZIP. You must have PKZIP installed on your
system to open this file. You can download PKZIP from the
following site http://www.pkware.com
OR
From the browser (Netscape or Internet Explorer) of you choice: Type in the address bar: ftp://username@www3.nashville.org
(ex. ftp://mpccom105@www3.nashville.org). You will then be prompted for your password. Enter your password. Three files will appear in the window. Double click on the file all.zip. You will be prompted as to where you want to save the file. Navigate to the appropriate directory on your system and press Save. For the other two files, highlight the file, then right mouse click. Netscape users select Save Link As. Internet Explorer users select Copy to Folder. Navigate to the appropriate directory on your system and press Save.
Do this for both topoanno.dxf and topoline.dxf
