The program will be broadcast during the first week in April. The time will vary from station to station. Check your local PBS listing for the date and time that the program will be broadcast in your area. Grape.ecs.clarkson.edu is a Zenith Z-248 running MS-DOS. We use a modified version of KA9Q's TCP/IP NET that allows you to shell out to COMMAND.COM while still processing packets. Grape is attached to the Internet using a NI6510 Ethernet card donated by Racal Interlan for that purpose. After shelling to DOS, we run an Opus BBS. The particulars: Almost all files are stored in .ZIP format. A .ZIP file contains a group of files that have been compressed to save space. You need an unzipper to access these files. Either PKzip102 or dezip20 will suffice. A catalog of all files on grape is in /d/general/catalog.zip. ZIP: Version 1.01+ required. Versions 0.90 and 0.92 do NOT work.
