Now you all can stop asking for this information :-) FTP The program guide is available via anonymous ftp, already patched. If you are having trouble, or need another copy (for whatever reason), you can get it by entering the following commands: ftp mammoth.unr.edu or 134.197.40.241 anonymous or anon or ftp <use your name for the password> cd /pub/guides/startrek binary get sttngsrc.tar.Z or whatever filename The following are the names of files that can be obtained: total 2856 drwxrwxr-x 2 512 Oct 19 13:25 ./ drwxrwxrwx 12 1024 Oct 28 18:04 ../ -rw-rw-r-- 1 4981 Oct 19 09:56 README -rw-rw-r-- 1 421423 Mar 6 1990 ncc1701d.tar.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 777293 Oct 7 13:49 sttng.nc.tar.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 10491 Oct 19 10:15 sttng.spine.ps.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 780646 Oct 7 14:06 sttng.tr.tar.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 244059 Oct 6 15:45 sttng400nc.t.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 24415 Oct 5 22:37 sttng400s01.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 21495 Oct 5 22:37 sttng400s02.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 243127 Oct 6 19:23 sttng400tr.t.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 293497 Oct 5 22:53 sttngsrc.tar.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 33768 Oct 19 12:24 warbird.ps.Z Some people have asked what to do with the files once they ftp the files because they've never used tar, so here's what they should do: uncompress sttngsrc.tar.Z tar xvf sttngsrc.tar For the PostScript files, use lpr or lp, or whatever your system has as the print spooler. If transferring the files to a SysV UNIX system, be careful to change the name of the longer file names. Other files may be available. Check with mikew@mammoth.unr.edu for details. Always give Mike a couple of days to get the latest files ready after I release them. ANONUUCP The program guide files are also available via anonymous uucp from my system. Here are the details: Phone: 608-274-9275 Baud: 19200/2400/1200 Login: anonuucp Password: none (it will not be asked) The main directory is ~nuucp/guides. In there you will find a file called dir.list. Get it, as it will list all of the latest files that are in the guides' directory. After you get it, study it and then request the files that you need. This area contains more than ST:TNG guides and lists. The area will be under constant changes, as new lists and updates will be added.
