Is there an Anonymous FTP site where I can get TechNotes? I'm still missing a couple of TechNotes and I would like to obtain them from somewhere. If there is either a BITNET server or a FTP site where I can GET them I would me much pleased. :) Please reply in this NewsGroup, to a) help other users having the same question and b) it is quite useless to get 100 MAILs giving me the same answer. pooh

In any case, all the tech notes are archived there. There should be a version of the tech notes stack there, as well. ...and sample codes, hacks... -- Pete Gontier : pete@cavevax.ucsb.edu; outgoing .UUCP cause me grief Editor, Macker : Online Macintosh Programming Journal; mail for subscription Hire this kid : Mac, DOS, C, Pascal, asm, excellent communication skills "This was it.

Look in pub/dts/mac/tn and you should see the relevant directories. They are organized into subdirectories of 50 Notes each, plus a subdirectory for the TN Stack. ||+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++|| || Blayne Puklich nopuklic@Plains.NoDak.EDU "I think I'm going || || NDSU Student ACM nopuklic@ndsuvax.BITNET bald..." || || Vice-Chairperson NU087763@NDSUVM1.BITNET -- Rush, from Caress || || North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND of Steel, 1975 || || (701) 237-4408 || || "Corvettes are the best thing man has ever invented." || ||-------------------------------------------------------------------------||

Makes dealing with a 1.8 MB object just a trifle >awkward.... That's the FIRST thing I thought about when I ftp'ed it from apple.com. Those of us who work on UNIX boxes can use split to get approximately floppy-sized chunks; but PSUVM, being an IBM mainframe (I'm guessing), probably doesn't have this available unless you roll your own. Too bad. I have it split up into roughly 260K chunks at our site. It's in /pub/mac/pub/programming/tn/tn.stack for those who have anonymous ftp capabilities. You can use sparky.nodak.edu (134.129.125.254) for now, but on December 7th, 1989 sparky will replace plains.nodak.edu, and assume its IP address (134.129.111.64). I think that the 260K size should be easier to move around. Hope this helps a bit for those with floppy-only systems. ||+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++|| || Blayne Puklich nopuklic@Plains.NoDak.EDU "I think I'm going || || NDSU Student ACM nopuklic@ndsuvax.BITNET bald..." || || Vice-Chairperson NU087763@NDSUVM1.BITNET -- Rush, from Caress || || North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND of Steel, 1975 || || (701) 237-4408 || || "Corvettes are the best thing man has ever invented." || ||-------------------------------------------------------------------------||

I mean, other than joining APDA (perhaps not too expensive) and purchasing them all (I'd almost hate to even ask what the price would be). The only tech notes I have managed to acquire are about the last 4 (or so) released sets from comp.binaries.mac. This is a pretty slow process, and waiting for older notes you might need to be updated and sent out is next to useless. Does the tech note stack allow printout of the notes in a nice format like the Macwrite versions? They are much more useful in printed format. (At least to me.) Dave Barnhart NCR Corp.
