Why, you punk kid- you don't know how good you have it.  When I was
you're age, we _all_ had wood peckers.  We didn't even hardly know
about no other kind.  Oh, sure; maybe the rich kid down the street
had one a the newfangled, high-falutin' living tissue models, but
the rest of us just had to MAKE DO, and anyway, we used to catch
him out back and make him squeal ever chance we got.  That pinkeyed
little daffodil knew what a splinter was, I can tell you.
So count yer blessings.

From: "Michael S. Hart" <HART@vmd.cso.uiuc.edu>


This is a one page suggestion of how to give instructions for ftp:
(Might also work for telnet and other programs)

Instead of saying ftp to so.n.so for file /dir/subdir/subdir/filename.ext
I would suggest writing the instructions exactly as they appear onscreen,
perhaps including the feedback from the other end, perhaps not.

The reason is that the instructee may then be able to exactly copy lines
from your instructions to the command line, rather than typing them over
again (with attendant errors or loss of time) or having to cut and paste
repeatedly. . .such as cutting the line: get /dir/subdir/subdir/filename
once to make the cd line and once to make the get line (while having the
requirement of typing cd and get before pasting each line).


Example:

ftp so.n.so
login anonymous
password yourname@yournode
cd /dir/subdir/subdir
bin (if necessary)
prompt (if necessary)
get filename.ext
or
mget filenam*
quit

Happy New Year!

Currently, users on the Internet can not send mail to users on
Prodigy.  Prodigy is in the process of establishing Internet
email for its users early this year.

I have heard that it will be at an additional cost so all Prodigy
users may not be accessible.

This comes from a person with substantial computer experience. BUT I
returned to the States in 1992 and discovered the Internet. I have had an
interesting journey "bootstrapping' my way onto the Internet. I have
sampled about a half-dozen books on UNIX from\through the local library
system. From my view point as a UNIX neophyte the best of them was "The
Waite Group's UNIX Primer Plus" published by Howard Sams & Co. After
several weeks with that at my side, trying virtually everything they laid
out I've graduated to the book I mistakenly purchased by title alone: "UNIX
in a Nutshell" from O'Reilly & Assoc.

Ed Krol's book was a Godsend on the Internet side. For me, as a beginner,
it is a clear win over Tracey LaQuey's and the others I've encountered. I
don't know how your students are connected to the Internet, but I had no
problem using Krol's book "straight out of the box" for my situation where
I dial-up from my Mac on a serial line into a UNIX box. (Perhaps a one
sheet hand-out on file copying and directory traversing, another on mail
and another on the text editor (shudder) of choice could handle the UNIX
end.)

Can't find my copy - or the location from which I ftp'd it - at the moment
but there is a list of UNIX books available 'out there.'

Good Luck!

For the most part, this is a good suggestion, but 'login' and 'password'
are generated by the user's ftp client program and therefore are quite
variable.  I have seen 'User ID', 'User Name' and a few more for the 'login'
prompt, and likewise a few variations on the password prompt.  The best
that can be done is to find a good 'happy medium' of a generic login, and
hope that most users will know what to do.

One week from tonight, on January 15th, the Project Gutenberg Etext of

be removed from Project Gutenberg fileservers.

If you have a copy of the Plain Vanilla ASCII file on a public server,
please remove it at that time and replace it with the .ps (PostScript)
edition.  We hope to have a new and approved Plain Vanilla ASCII etext
prepared shortly.

Our apologies both to our users for not having been able to prepare an
appropriate Plain Vanilla ASCII edition, and also to NUSIRG.

You may want to ftp:

ftp.temple.edu
pub/info/help-net/babel93a.txt

This file defines lots of computer abbreviations and terms, and
was written by Irving Kind.

Hope this helps.

A few weeks ago I asked Prodigy tech support about an Internet
interface.  They replied that they are coming out with a new service
called "Better Letter" (I believe that's the name) and this service
will have message transfer linkages with Internet (similar to that
available through CompuServe).
