Below are the latest instructions/catalog for getting at the archives on osu-cis via UUCP. A number of related items... * "Read before opening." I (er, we of the facilities staff, here at OSU CIS) get a whole lot of questions from people about how to do things which are quite adequately described in this file. Please look over the description to see how to find out about things not explicitly listed in the verbose catalog (i.e., get osu-cis!~/ls-lR.Z), be aware of how to unpack split, compressed tar archives, and that sort of thing. Make sure that directory permisions at your end will allow the files to be sent. You can't possibly be in a hurry to get things if you're going to the effort of picking it up via UUCP, so take your time and make sure you've done it right. * By the time you see these, they're out of date. I've made 4 updates to this file in the last 36 hours. The safest thing to do before picking up anything of any size from osu-cis is to get the latest GNU.how-to-get and ls-lR.Z files, so that you know exactly what's available here. I still find people trying to refer to files under /u/public, the head of a directory tree which hasn't existed in years on a machine which has long since died. Once more, just in case you don't believe me yet: THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ALREADY OUT OF DATE so pick up a fresh one just before starting any major source acquisition. (Now just watch, things will be quiescent for a couple of days, and some smart aleck will pick up GNU.how-to-get and tell me that nothing changed after all. It would figure. :-) * The state of modems on (and near) osu-cis. The short version: Sigh. The long version: Well... ** V.32 The direct-connect V.32 modem failed us quite a long time ago by now; it's still listed in these instructions (commented out), but I haven't had it really alive for quite a while. This hasn't been at all pressing for us because the Micom port selector has V.32 these days, so the need for direct V.32 has been very small. Note, using V.32 through the Micom for UUCP requires that you set your end to do no MNP or flow control, due to the necessity (I'm told; I remain unconvinced) of configuring the Micom's modems to do host-side xon/xoff when told to go into MNP, for the sake of the greater bulk of interactive terminal & PC Micom users from the community here at OSU. ** TrailBlazer The direct-connect TB modem has died again for the 3rd time in as many months. We are working on both repair and replacements, but this takes time, especially for something which tends to be viewed as non-critical. One replacement (loaner? gift? I dunno) is there in the machine room, and if I could find more than 3 minutes to spend up there, it'd get connected and might just push some bits around for us. I also have an offer from one person to donate another to us, so...if we could get 'em _all_ to life, there'd be 3 TBs here for anon UUCP usage. Maybe. Just maybe. I want to say one more thank you to Philips Components for having donated the direct-connect V.32 and TB modems we've been using for so long. They both gave a lot of service before they choked, and they may both yet continue to provide service if we could just get around to dealing with them properly. Time, all I need is time, plus an occasional OSU "100W" form to charge the repairs... These problems notwithstanding, osu-cis (saqqara.cis.ohio-state.edu) is as busy as ever. Right now, aside from 5 news neighbors currently picking up batches, 3 Uanon users are also burning up the phone lines between hither and yon, so we must be doing something right after all. I haven't had the time to look at the modems myself for a couple of weeks due to (aside from having been out of town) other things being in the way, the most notable among which is... * Last time I'll post these. I'm leaving OSU CIS effective 1 Feb, heading for the Ohio Supercomputer Center, where I'll be doing network research things. The staff here at CIS will continue to maintain the archives, but addressing me in particular for help in such efforts will generally result in your message being forwarded to uucp@cis.ohio-state.edu, where it'll land in a staff-specific newsgroup for such stuff. The folks who will be claiming (ir)responsibility for the archives will probably be George Jones <george@cis.ohio-state.edu> and possibly Bryan Dunlap <bcd@cis.ohio-state.edu>. This is not engraved in stone as yet; it's more like lukewarm Jell-O. * It's been fun. I've been doing maintenance of archives like these since I was a grad student and GNU Emacs v13.something-or-other came out, around 1985 or so, I think. That was back when we had a 4.1BSD VAX 780 named osu-eddie with one 1200bps inbound modem attached to him. We made Emacs available because of the complaints about its unavailability to the Great Unwashed Masses Of UUCP. When Eddie was due to replaced, we got a 3B2 which really _was_ named "osu-cis," and we got a horde of phone lines to it plus Micom access and boy we thought we were doing well. Two years later and that poor little 3B2, who was also doing massive UUCP forwarding for the central Ohio area plus newsbatching to a dozen sites, collapsed under the load as well, so he was replaced by a Pyramid 90x. At this point the little lies of UUCP started since the machine wasn't actually named "osu-cis" (HDB UUCP's MYNAME= fakes it well for us), and most of the archives weren't actually on the discs of "osu-cis," but instead live on other nearby boxes and are accessible via NFS mounts and symlink mindgames. That Pyramid was a vast improvement over the 3B2, but we didn't have it supported on a service contract due to its age, and when its twin (a cannibalization victim we acquired for dirt) stopped being able to provide replacement parts, we decided to put a Pyramid 98xe in its place, which is what stands there now, duly service-contract-supported, in large part due to a grant from CompuServe. (Be grateful for the small favors, folks.) Further changes to that hardware may yet be in the offing, but I won't be a part of it. Bug or feature, I can't decide. :-) It's been weird keeping ahead of the flow, of both users who want more and faster access, as well as the number of things we try to archive. We've only trimmed back once or twice, and we've generally been able to find more disc which we could dedicate to archives when it was really needed. Currently, I think there's about 500Mb unused, spread across the four systems on which the archives live. * Take it easy on the new guys. Originally, I did this myself, before I worked here officially. Then Bob Sutterfield did it alone after I finished my MS and before I started working here. Then Bob and I did it together for a couple of years. Bob left and I've been back to doing it alone again. George & Bryan & Whomever haven't had to touch it much in the last N years so they'll no doubt run into things I haven't documented properly or which I've left incomplete. If you've got problems with osu-cis, please be kind to 'em all and ask nicely. have a blast, --karl ________________ This file (osu-cis!~/GNU.how-to-get) describes how to get the following software from osu-cis via semi-anonymous UUCP: C++ Test Suite Compress Deliver 2.0 GNU Binary Utilities GNU Assembler GNU Awk GNU Bash GNU Bison GNU C++ Compiler GNU C++ Library GNU C Compiler GNU Chess GNU COFF Support GNU CPIO GNU DBM GNU Debugger GNU Diff GNU Emacs GNU Emacs Ada support GNU Emacs Franz interface GNU Emacs Lisp Manual GNU File Utils GNU Find GNU Finger GNU Go GNU Gperf & Cperf GNU Grep GNU Indent GNU Lex GNU Make GNU Pins & Art GNU Plot & Plot2PS GNU Roff GNU Sed GNU Tar GNUS Ghostscript Gnews Ispell KA9Q Kermit M3 MIT C Scheme Mg2a NNTP News Oops PCRRN Patch & GNU Patch Pathalias Protoize Proxy ARP RCS RFCs & IDEAS RN SB Prolog STDWIN Sendmail Smail Smalltalk Tcsh VM There's a lot of other available miscellany that isn't explicitly listed here.

We are deeply grateful to Philips Components of Eindhoven, the Netherlands for the donation of a Trailblazer Plus and a Codex 2264 for use by the community at large. Where the files are =================== Most items exist on osu-cis for distribution purposes in compressed tar form, exactly what you find on the indicated hosts in the specified origin files. Most items are cut into pieces for the sake of uucp sanity. This separation helps if your uucp session fails midway through a conversation; you need restart only with the part that failed, rather than the whole beast. The pieces are typically named with a root word, followed by letter pairs like "aa" and "bj," meaning that the pieces are all named with the root word, followed by a dash and the suffixes indicated, using the letters inclusive between the two limits. All pieces but the last are 100,000 bytes long, and the fragmentary last piece has some smaller size. The instruction listings below are alphabetized as in the summary block above.

Remember to pick that up too - see the instructions above. GDB, the GNU Debugger for C, is available separately - see above. Current releases of gcc comment (in the source) that a version of Bison not older than Sep 8 1988 is required for correct operation. Such a version is in place on osu-cis.

File is ~/gnu/vm/vm-4.41.tar.Z, one file, 75,421 bytes. What to do with it all - building Emacs as an example ====================== Pick a night when you can afford to be at the office late. {:-)} Arrange to have the files uucp'd to your site. Copying the complete set of Emacs slices will take on the order of 5 hours at 2400 bps, correspondingly more at 1200. Your mileage will definitely vary, by as much as 20% on either side of that (intentionally vague) estimate. By way of comparison, a transfer of Emacs 18.50 at 2400bps to Portland, Oregon was reported to cost about $42.00, weekend rates. NOTE: Do not request the files to be transferred using a command like % uucp osu-cis!~/gnu/emacs/18.56/emacs\* /some/local/directory because that won't work. That will queue up a short request via *uux* to run a uucp command on osu-cis; it will fail for security reasons. You must issue many uucp commands: one for each file in each distribution you want, plus one for each diff file you want. They will all get queued and executed in as few UUCP connections as possible. After the files have all showed up, you should extract the full distribution of GNU Emacs thusly: cat emacs-18.56.tar.Z-part-?? | zcat | tar xvf - Voila`, you have GNU Emacs, ready to build and cause you both joy and pain for the rest of your life. The other stuff available here is unpacked similarly. The `zcat' mentioned above is part of the `compress' distribution, which you will have to get if you don't have it yet. Everything that we distribute (except `compress' itself) is compressed with a 16-bit Lempel-Ziv scheme. Some computers (notably those based on Intel family microprocessors) are unable for memory segmentation reasons to handle compression with a scheme higher than 12 bits. Since we can't afford the space and time to provide both 12- and 16-bit distributions via this mechanism, if you need things in a 12-bit compression format, you will need to find a cooperative friend with a full 32-bit machine to uncompress the distribution, and possibly recompress it for you in 12-bit format. Miscellany ========== This file of instructions exists as the file ~/GNU.how-to-get, and is updated as new distributions and diffs come out and are made available. This happens much more frequently than the full set of instructions are posted to comp.sources.d, so get it first to be sure what you are getting later in each night's UUCP transfer. Unfortunately, the worst case might be that (e.g.) if you only get part of a full distribution one night and a new version arrives during the day, you might get some of the part-*s for the old version and not know that the rest of your part-*s are from the new one. Get this file to be sure. There's another file called ~/ls-lR.Z that contains the output of executing the comand `ls -lR' at the top level of the UUCP distribution tree. Lots of other stuff is available besides the most popular stuff that's listed here. That file is updated daily at around 3:00am Eastern time, so you may want to get it occasionally to keep up to date. People often have problems with uucp. Feel free to write us some mail as osu-cis!uucp; we'll be happy to help as much as we can, though that is usually limited by distance and mail turnaround time. Cheers...
