I ran into a couple problems. I have been able to get around one, but not the other. Perhaps someone can help me. 1. mit-prep:/u2/emacs/edist.tar is about 4 megabytes. I tried to copy it several times, but was never able to get it cleanly. I admit that it may not have been an artifact of the ftp between the two sites, but problems that arose after I got it to ge-crd and tried getting it to its eventual home. At any rate, I was eventually able to copy it a file at a time from mit-prep:/u2/emacs/dist/*. This is still in progress, but I suspect it will go much better. 2. A more annoying problem is that I can't seem to transfer any files which contain upper case letters (such as /u2/emacs/README, which I was admonished to read). Several files in GNU Emacs have upper case letters in them (most notably a couple of Makefiles and several README's). Our system manager here was able to successfully transfer upper case only files between our VAX (ge-crd) and connected SUNs. Can someone offer a solution? How about a fix (README --> _readme | Makefile --> _makefile) so I can just get the last few important files over? Any help is much appreciated. Skip Montanaro Montanaro@ge-crd -------- ------
