After seeing a note about the TeX mailing list in this group and the
fact that there was an archive at su-score, I decided to see if there
was anything useful there. I was able to login via anonymous ftp.
I guessed from the behavior that this is not a UNIX machine (maybe
DEC 20 or 10?). I was able to successfully download the TEXHAX
86 index (do caps matter?) but then, I was curious what was in
the BIBTEX.DIRECTORY (which I guessed to be a directory) since our
copy of bibtex is badly munged. I was never able to successfully
cd to this directory so I thought that maybe it was a file after all.
No luck when I tried to "get" it because it is not a text file.
Soooo....what am I doing wrong and how does one get into that directory?
I am asking this of the net rather than texhax-request since I figure others
out there will end up repeating my experiment after the recent postings
and they might as well get the benefit of the answer.
Thanks in advance.
