[rec.arts.startrek.info] ST:TNG Guide parts via ftp and anonuucp

brown@vidiot.UUCP (Vidiot) (07/10/90)

The instructions attached below are a little dated, in that the files in the
directory are volatile.  But, the instructions on how to get there and where
they are found has not changed.  Just look around the ftp site's area.

The sttng309 completely patched version will not be available until next week,
as the site person is on vacation.  But you can get all of the stuff up
through sttng308.  Then all you have to do is apply the patches.



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 milton.u.washington.edu           or   128.95.136.1
anonymous
guest
cd /public/guides/sttng
binary
get sttng.d.tar.Z                     or   whatever filename


The following are the names of files that can be obtained:

total 2702 Kilobytes.

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 sttng.ps.nc.tar.Z
	tar xvf sttng.ps.nc.tar
	lpr *.ps

You may want to change the lpr command above to 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 cfogg@milton.u.washington.edu for
details.  Always give Chad 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  (use break to cycle)
	Login:		anonuucp
	Password:	none (it will not be asked)

NOTE: Because the Telebit Trailblazer PC modem was just recently installed
      and because the modem doesn't have non-volatile memory, the modem can
      end up in a state where the user can only dial in at a speed last used by
      the modem when calling out.  This situation will be changed for the better
      in a little while.

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.
