[comp.sys.amiga] comp.sources.amiga article history to date

tadguy@abcfd01.larc.nasa.gov (Tad Guy) (07/07/90)

Now that issue 200 of volume 90 of comp.sources.amiga has been
posted, it seems to be an ideal time to post a summary of the group so
far.  This is a list of all postings, and some statistical stuff.

All comp.sources.amiga postings are achived on xanth.cs.odu.edu, and
those archives are available via anonymous ftp in the directory /usenet.
Persons without direct ftp access to the Internet can access these
files using the BITFTP server.  Send a ``help'' message via mail to
BITFTP@PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU for information.

None of this would be possible without the great people who have
submitted software to comp.sources.amiga.  We all owe them a great
thanks for their work (and patience).  Thanks!

langlo@ireq.hydro.qc.ca (Luc Langlois 8159) (07/09/90)

	I'm trying to ftp from the /usenet/comp.sources.amiga at xanth.cs.odu.edu. Can anyone tell me why I can't *get* route-1.0 int the applications directory. This is in 6 compressed parts (.Z) and I get the response :

*****************************************************************************
ftp> get part06.Z
200 PORT command successful.
550 part06.Z: Probably a BINARY file.  Perhaps you should set TYPE I first.
 
*****************************************************************************

	Problem is ftp doesn't seem to recognize type I.

	I'm interested in route-1.0 : is this an electronics design CAD (like ORCAD on PC) or just a router (like SMARTWORK ) ?

	Any help would be appreciated (via E MAIL please.)

			Thanks, Luc.

Try the ``binary'' command.  

You'll note that the response is ``Type set to I''.

If you don't use the binary command, you wouldn't be able to use the
file -- it would be corrupted.
