** Introduction

The Internet site, monu6.cc.monash.edu.au, mirrors the United States
Windows3 archive site ftp.cica.indiana.edu. It includes Windows3 tips,
utilities and bitmap files (BMP). The archive currently maintains well over
160 megabytes of Windows3-related files. The files are not virus checked,
nor tested for functionality, so you must assume full responsibility
for their use on your machine.  

** Access

Ftp access to monu6 is quite simple:  type "ftp monu6.cc.monash.edu.au"
to your prompt. You'll be asked for a login name (type "anonymous"). Enter
username@hostname.domain for a password. This is optional but will help
us gather statistics for gauging the popularity of this archive.

If you don't have ftp access but have access to "fetchfile" then try the
following commands:
  fetchfile -dmonu6.cc.monash.oz pub/ls-lR              [fetch directory list]
  fetchfile -dmonu6.cc.monash.oz pub/win3/util/at.zip  [fetch an example file]

** Getting Software:  The INDEX and ls-ltR Files

Go into the win3 directory ("cd pub/win3"), and see what we have by
getting the ASCII file called "INDEX"  (type "get INDEX" to your ftp
prompt).  The file "pub/ls-lR" is an output from the "ls -lR" command on
the entire public ftp directory structure.  This file presents an ordered
list of the files in each subdirectory. The file "pub/ls-lR.Z" is the
compressed version of this list of files, but you must type "bin" or
"tenex" before getting the compressed version.

The archive is updated daily at 10:00 PM AEST.

** Downloading Software

Utilities maintained here are in compressed format.  You will need to
have either ZOO, PKUNZIP, PKXARC, or LHARC to work with these files on
the PC.  Most of the Windows 3 archives are in "zip" archives for which
you will need the pkunzip utility.

Change into individual directories (e.g., "cd pub/win3/fonts") and issue
a "dir" or "ls" command to see the available files.  When you are ready
to download, tell ftp you're transferring binary files (type "tenex"
or "binary" to your ftp prompt) and you're ready to fetch files ("get
filename").

** Uploading Software

Windows files should be uploaded to the primary source of the archive which
is ftp.cica.indiana.edu. Your upload will automatically appear on monu6 the
next time cica is mirrored.

If, for some reason, you feel that you must upload a file to monu6, then
please place all uploads in the "pub/Uploads" subdirectory and send mail
to "steve@monash.edu.au" BRIEFLY describing your contribution. The
same rules apply to uploading as downloading:  if the file is a PC
binary, type "tenex" or "bin" first before doing a "put filename".

I would like to set some sort of standard file format here so that you
don't need fifteen different file compression utilities to unwrap the
software.  Therefore, please use PKZIP (version 1.1 or later) or ZOO
(version 2.00 or later) to wrap your software.

** A Note About Bitmap Files (.BMP)

Since the inception of this archive in June 1990, many thousands of
users have had access to these files, and hence, plenty of time to
"snarf and share" the bitmap images with their friends, families, and
their favorite local bulletin boards and ftp sites.  Therefore, the
images stored here will age six months and then they are purged.  This
is the only relief valve we currently have to keep disk space alive
for the other files.

** Questions?

E-mail to steve@monash.edu.au

** A Reminder!

Please, PLEASE remember to type "TENEX" or "bin" to your ftp program
*BEFORE* uploading or downloading binary files. You will end up getting
"corrupt files" if you didn't type "tenex" or "bin" before downloading.

If you are using KERMIT to transfer from your Unix host to your PC,
remember to tell kermit "set file type binary" before beginning the
download. 

Thank you,

	Steve
