Welcome to GSF (AG BIODV) FTP Service on "ariane.gsf.de"
*******************************************************************************

UNIX software on this FTP Server is distributed in a form that it is archived
using the UNIX tar program and compressed using the UNIX compress program.

Use BINARY transfer mode for downloading the files, then use the UNIX 
uncompress program to expand these files:
	% uncompress filename.tar.Z
which will result in a file named filename.tar in your current directory.
Finally, use tar to extract all files from the archive:
	% tar xvf filename.tar
This will extract all files contained in the archive in your current directory.
