The instructions below supercede any similar instructions that you may
have to get to osu-eddie for similar purposes. osu-eddie has been
permanently deinstalled; osu-cis is OSU's UUCP new feed/hub.
The Computer and Information Science Department of the Ohio State
University provides Free Software Foundation GNU products via UUCP
only as a redistribution service. Anything found here is only and
exactly as it would be found on the indicated Internet hosts, were one
to acquire it via anonymous FTP (like we did). OSU CIS takes no
responsibility for the contents of any of the distributions described
in this message. See the Distribution document (emacs/etc/DISTRIB)
and the GNU Emacs General Public License (emacs/etc/COPYING).
How to reach osu-cis via uucp
===============================
Here is a set of L.sys or Systems file lines suitable for osu-cis:
#
# direct 2400 bps
#
osu-cis Any ACU 2400 1-614-292-5111 in:--in: LOGIN
#
# direct 1200 bps

#
#osu-cis Any ACU 1200 1-614-292-3112 "" \d\r\c Name \dosu-cis\r RETURN \c GO \d\r\d\r login: LOGIN
#
Modify as appropriate for your site, of course. The various things to
substitute for LOGIN will be discussed below.
Where the files are
===================
GNU Emacs
---------
To get GNU Emacs, substitute `GNUemacs' for `LOGIN' in the lines
above.
GNU Emacs exists on osu-cis for distribution purposes in compressed
tar form, exactly what you find on prep.ai.mit.edu in the file
/u2/emacs/edist.tar-18.47.Z. For the sake of uucp sanity, it is cut
into 36 parts, as the set of files ~/emacs/emacs-18.47-[aa-bj]. The
first 35 parts are each exactly 100,000 bytes long, followed by the
trailing 36th which is 71,777 bytes long. The separation helps to
keep long distance uucp sane, so that if it fails midway through a
conversation, you need restart only with the part that failed, rather
than the whole beast.
There are some diff files available, previous to and sometimes beyond
the current osu-cis `base' emacs distribution (18.47 now). Diffs
available are:
ediff18.38-39Z 176,494 bytes
ediff18.39-40Z 51,517
ediff18.40-41Z 79,535
ediff18.41-44Z 118,183
ediff18.44-45Z 225,323
ediff18.45-46Z 35,702
ediff18.46-47Z 19,382
Note that diff files frequently have new files or instructions at
their top, and that it may be necessary to cut a diff file into as
many pieces as there are directories in which patches were made; this
depends largely on the recency of your patch program.
Sorry, there do not exist diff files to go from 17.xx to v18. We have
also removed all the v17 and the particularly old v18 diffs in the
interest of saving disc space. If you're that far back in the
versions, you're better off to get a fresh distribution.
GNU Bison
---------
To get GNU Bison, substitute `GNUbison' for `LOGIN' in the lines
above.
GNU Bison exists on osu-cis for distribution purposes in compressed
tar form just as on prep.ai.mit.edu in the directory /u2/emacs/bison
as of April 28, 1987. It is in ~/bison/bison.tar.Z, which
is 76,045 bytes long.
MIT C Scheme
------------
To get MIT C Scheme, substitute `GNUschem' for `LOGIN' and in the
lines above. Please notice the lack of a trailing `e' in that, due to
login name length restrictions!
MIT C Scheme is distributed by the GNU Project, as another free
software system. It exists on osu-cis for distribution purposes in
compressed tar form just as on prep.ai.mit.edu in the file
/u2/scheme/dist5.3-tar.Z (that file created Jul 28, 17:30). It is in
~/scheme/scheme-5.3-[aa-ap] where all but the last
are each 100,000 bytes long, and -ap is 61,499 bytes long.
GNU Chess
---------
To get GNU Chess, substitue `GNUchess' for `LOGIN' in the lines above.
GNU Chess exists on osu-cis for distribution purposes just as on
venera.isi.edu in the file pub/gnuchess.tar.Z as of Aug 20 15:59, only
split for UUCP consumption. The distribution is in
~/gnuchess.dist/chess.tar.Z-[aa-ac], where all but the last
are each 100,000 bytes long, and -ac is 19,403 bytes long.
GNU C Compiler
--------------
To get the GNU C Compiler (gcc), substitute `GNUgcc' for `LOGIN' in
the lines above.
The GNU C Compiler (gcc) exists on osu-cis for distribution purposes
just as on prep.ai.mit.edu in the file /u2/emacs/gcc.tar-1.10.Z as of
Aug 20 00:04, only split for UUCP consumption. The distribution is in
~/gcc.dist/gcc-1.10-[aa-al], where all but the last are each
100,000 bytes long and -al is 64,622 bytes long.
There are some diff files available, previous to and sometimes beyond
the current osu-cis `base' gcc distribution (1.10 now). Diffs
available are:
gcdiff1.1-2Z 65,485 bytes
gcdiff1.2-3Z 74,465
gcdiff1.3-4Z 33,797
gcdiff1.4-5Z 7,415
gcdiff1.5-6Z 59,437
gcdiff1.6-7Z 103,739
gcdiff1.7-8Z 77,125
gcdiff1.8-9Z 5,498
gcdiff1.9-10.Z 1,465
GCC requires Bison, since it uses a feature (@n) of Bison that's not
in Yacc. Remember to pick that up too - see the instructions above.
I'm asked to continue to emphasize that "although ... GCC is heading
toward reliability, it is still a test release that generates a few
new bug reports a week... Generally people shouldn't yet use GCC
except to help debug it, or if they are interested in porting it or
writing new front ends for it, until it becomes more stable."
GNU Assembler
-------------
To get the GNU Assembler (gas), substitute `GNUgas' for `LOGIN' in the
lines above.
The GNU Assembler (gas Beta version 1.04) exists on osu-cis for
distribution purposes just as on prep.ai.mit.edu in the file
/u2/emacs/gas-dist.tar.Z as of Aug 17 12:13. The distribution is in
~/gas/gas.tar.Z-[aa-ac] where -aa and -ab are each
100,000 bytes long and -ac is 47,769 bytes long.
Tools you'll need to work with the software above:
=================
Compress
--------
To get the Compress distribution, substitute `Ucompres' for `LOGIN' in
the lines above.
The Compress 4.0 distribution is a copy of mod.sources Volume 2,
Issues 27, 28, and 29, and we redistribute it here as a convenience to
GNU-getters who might not have it otherwise. It is in ~/compress
and consists of the following (uncompressed) `shar' archives:
compress4.0.0 4,456 bytes
compress4.0.1 50,346 bytes
compress4.0.2 33,203 bytes
Patch
-----
To get the Patch distribution, substitute `Upatch' for `LOGIN' in the
lines above.
This Patch is version 2.0, Patchlevel 9. It is in ~/patch and
consists of the following compressed `shar' archives:
patch1of3.Z
patch2of3.Z
patch3of3.Z
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 7 to 9 hours at 1200
bps, correspondingly less at 2400. Your mileage will definitely vary,
by as much as 25% on either side of those (intentionally vague)
estimates. If you successfully UUCP anything from osu-cis, please
send us mail describing any problems you had, and (if possible) an
estimate of how long it took you and at what baud rate, so that we can
keep these figures up to date.
Note: Do not request the files to be transferred using a command like
% uucp osu-cis!~/emacs/emacs-18.47-\* /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-18.47-?? | 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 GNU software 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.)
Miscellany
==========
This file of instructions exists as the file ~/GNU.how-to-get
(accessible from any of the logins described above), and is
occasionally 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.
Someone invariably has problems with uucp. Feel free to write us some
mail; we'll be happy to help as much as we can, though that is usually
limited by distance and mail turnaround time.

installed, patched news system before you start playing with NNTP.
Two versions of NNTP are available here: 1.3 and 1.4. Version 1.3 has
been around since at least late June, and you shouldn't get it from
here unless you need it for compatibility with some old version of
News. Version 1.4 is what you would get if you were to FTP it from
ucbvax.berkeley.edu:pub/nntp.tar.Z, that file dated Oct 22 19:41. The

Modify as appropriate for your site, of course. Note that there is no
limit concerning what hours of the day you may call. Please use the
Micom switch ports whenever you can - that's why they're listed first.
The Micom-bound chat scripts may require some considerable futzing
until you find a combination of \d's and \n's that work for you.
Where the files are
===================
These 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.
Most of the file names you'll find here are much shorter than the name
of the corresponding source file, because the sources come from
Berkeley systems and osu-cis is only a 3B2/400 running SysVr3.0.
We've tried to maintain informative names at the expense of
readability.
The instruction listings below are alphabetized as in the summary
block above.

Root is /u/public/g++/gdb+-2.8.1Z-??, parts aa-af [6 pieces].
Part -af is 65,400 bytes long.
GNU C++ Library
---------------
Source is prep.ai.mit.edu:/u/emacs/libg++-1.34.0.tar.Z as of 9 Mar.
Root is /u/public/g++/libg++1.34.0-?, parts a-f [6 pieces].

There are some diff files available, previous to and sometimes beyond
the current osu-cis `base' gcc distribution (1.35 now). Diffs
available are:

gcdiff1.31-32Z 204,325
gcdiff1.32-33Z 306,702
gcdiff1.33-34Z 208,826
gcdiff1.34-35Z 377,177
GCC requires Bison, since it uses a feature (@n) of Bison that's not
in Yacc. Remember to pick that up too - see the instructions above.
GDB, the GNU Debugger for C, is available separately - see above.
Be aware that 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 now in place on osu-cis.
I have been asked to continue to emphasize that "although ... GCC is
heading toward reliability, it is still a test release that generates
a few new bug reports a week... Generally people shouldn't yet use
GCC except to help debug it, or if they are interested in porting it
or writing new front ends for it, until it becomes more stable." The
compiler will be considered non-beta when it has successfully produced
a full running UNIX system from sources.

Note that diff files frequently have new files or instructions at
their top, and that it may be necessary to cut a diff file into as
many pieces as there are directories in which patches were made; this
depends largely on the recency of your patch program.

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. If
you successfully UUCP anything from osu-cis, please send us mail
describing any problems you had, and (if possible) an estimate of how
long it took you and at what baud rate, so that we can keep these
figures up to date.
Note: Do not request the files to be transferred using a command like
% uucp osu-cis!/u/public/emacs/emacs-18.53-\* /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-18.53-?? | 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.
Someone invariably has problems with uucp. Feel free to write us some
mail; we'll be happy to help as much as we can, though that is usually
limited by distance and mail turnaround time.
Cheers,

This file (osu-cis!~/GNU.how-to-get) describes how to get the
following software from osu-cis via semi-anonymous UUCP:
Compress GNU /bin Utilities GNU Assembler GNU Awk

There's a lot of other available miscellany that isn't explicitly
listed here. You can find out about it in the file osu-cis!~/ls-lR.Z
The Computer and Information Science Department of the Ohio State
University provides Free Software Foundation GNU products (and others)
via UUCP only as a redistribution service. Anything found here is
only and exactly as it would be found on the indicated Internet hosts,
were one to acquire it via anonymous FTP (like we did); or else saved
it as it flowed past on the Usenet source distribution newsgroups.
OSU CIS takes no responsibility for the contents of any of the
distributions described in this message. See the Distribution
document (emacs/etc/DISTRIB when you unpack and build Emacs) and the
GNU Emacs General Public License (emacs/etc/COPYING, similarly).
Much of the GNU software is in beta-test. For a list of the current
statuses (stati?), ask gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu for a copy of the latest
FSF order form.
How to reach osu-cis via uucp
===============================
Here is a set of L.sys or Systems file lines suitable for osu-cis:
#
# Micom switch 2400 bps
#
osu-cis Any ACU 2400 1-614-292-3124 "" \r\c Name? osu-cis RETURN \c GO \d\r\d\r\d\r in:--in:--in: Uanon
#
# Micom switch 1200 bps
#
osu-cis Any ACU 1200 1-614-292-3112 "" \r\c Name? osu-cis RETURN \c GO \d\r\d\r\d\r in:--in:--in: Uanon
Modify as appropriate for your site, of course, to deal with your
local telephone system. There is no limit concerning what hours of
the day you may call. The new osu-cis has ten lines on the Micom
switch that all work very well, so the directly-connected 1200bps and
2400bps modems have been retired.
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.
Compress
--------
Source is comp.sources.unix Volume 2, Issues 27, 28, and 29, and we
redistribute it here as a convenience to GNU-getters who might not
have it otherwise.

Part -ay is 18,561 bytes long.
There are some diff files available, previous to and sometimes beyond
the current osu-cis `base' gcc distribution (1.35 now). Diffs
available are:
Diffs available are ~/gnu/gcc/
gcc.diff-1.30-1.31.Z 63,593
gcc.diff-1.31-1.32.Z 204,325
gcc.diff-1.32-1.33.Z 306,702
gcc.diff-1.33-1.34.Z 208,826
gcc.diff-1.34-1.35.Z 377,177
GCC requires Bison, since it uses a feature (@n) of Bison that's not
in Yacc. 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 now in place on osu-cis.
I have been asked to continue to emphasize that "although ... GCC is
heading toward reliability, it is still a test release that generates
a few new bug reports a week... Generally people shouldn't yet use
GCC except to help debug it, or if they are interested in porting it
or writing new front ends for it, until it becomes more stable." The
compiler will be considered non-beta when it has successfully produced
a full running UNIX system from sources.
GNU Chess
---------
Source is venera.isi.edu:pub/gnuchess.tar.Z as of 20 Feb.
Root is ~/gnu/chess/gnuchess.tar.Z-part-ad, pieces aa-ad [4 pieces].

Note that diff files frequently have new files or instructions at
their top, and that it may be necessary to cut a diff file into as
many pieces as there are directories in which patches were made; this
depends largely on the recency of your patch program.

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. If
you successfully UUCP anything from osu-cis, please send us mail
describing any problems you had, and (if possible) an estimate of how
long it took you and at what baud rate, so that we can keep these
figures up to date.
Note: Do not request the files to be transferred using a command like
% uucp osu-cis!~/gnu/emacs/18.54/edist\* /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 edist.tar-18.54.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; we'll be happy to help as much as we can, though that is usually
limited by distance and mail turnaround time.
Cheers,
Bob Sutterfield Karl Kleinpaste
