HP3000 model 70 in Australia

[Bob Brown]

Yes, the GET-xxx.yzzz is there in access, but I believe it only 
worked if the account hosting the files had PFA (program/file access) 
turned on for that account in the system directory.

(otherwise nobody else could access files from that account without 
being logged in).
