The correct node number of the University of Vaasa Sun 4 is 128.214.12.3. Well, things like this are bound to happen. Anyway, what we have here is about a 100Mb of PD and shareware programs. While I am at it I shall include some prerecorded instructions for getting them for those who are less familiar with the file transfer program. The instructions concern my own programs, but they are applicable for the other programs here, as well. ................................................................... Prof. Timo Salmi School of Business Studies, University of Vaasa, SF-65101, Finland Internet: ts@chyde.uwasa.fi Funet: vakk::salmi Bitnet: salmi@finfun Obtaining the PD Programs by Timo Salmi via InterNet ==================================================== You can obtain the file(s) from chyde.uwasa.fi (128.214.12.3) using the InterNet ftp (file transfer program) with username "anonymous". For a login password use your electronic mail address. If you are using ftp from a VAX/VMS system, set case lower before proceeding. The files are in directory /pc/ts. At the ftp> prompt first type binary (for binary files). To go to the relevant directory apply cd /pc/ts. To see its contents apply ls or dir. To download a file, use get filename or mget filenames. The files have been packed with PKPAK so you will need PKUNPAK from PKWARE to unpack them in your PC. The following contains the same information by giving the commands needed for transferring tsarc15.txt (contains a summary of the programs) and tspfon28.arc as an example. In the example its is assumed that you are calling from a Unix system. The usage for a VAX/VMS system is quite similar. It is recommended that you first get the files 0contents and tsarc15.txt (or later than version 15) for more information. ftp #Invoke the file transfer program open 128.214.12.3 #Connect to chyde.uwasa.fi at the University #of Vaasa anonymous #Use this name to get temporary privileges Give your email address as your password cd /pc/ts #Go to the relevant directory dir #Directory of available files ascii #tsarc15.txt is an ordinary text file get tsarc15.arc #Copy the file to your default directory binary #tspfon28.arc is a binary file mget tspfon*.arc #mget allows wildcards close #Terminate the connection quit #Quit the file transfer program
