Our company distributes fixes over the Internet in the form of a zipped
savefile. Customers receive the file, unzip it, and FTP it in binary into a
savefile on their system and do a rstobj from there.

However, we have a couple customers who don't have TCP/IP. We're trying to
avoid cutting CDs to allow them to simply rstobj from the CD (we have the
software to create such CDs, though).

So, we need to provide a way for customers without TCP/IP to get these
savefiles to the system. The idea occurred to me that they could burn the
savefile to a CD on a PC, then use FTP to localhost to pull it from the CD
via the IFS /QOPT directory into a savefile, but this would require the FTP
server to be running. If the customer doesn't have TCP/IP configured or even
a NIC, can the FTP server be started to allow this? Any other ideas?
