dauter@terminator.cc.umich.edu (Michael Dautermann) (05/11/91)
Well folks, heres the most up-to-date list of new files available on
mac.archive.umich.edu (141.211.165.34)... if you don't like reading through
these huge postings, why not download the list, print it out and
look for things you might be interested in.
I'm very interested in getting programs that you might have authored, or
if you have access to Compu$erve or GEnie, go ahead and send interesting
things from there to the "incoming" folder so we can make it available
to everyone on the Internet.
I've been getting a lot of questions about permissions and access lately.
When you do a "dir" within the archive, you'll see some files are
permitted only to the owner, or some files might be permitted read to
a group only, and sometimes it might seem like anybody can DELEte files
as it looks like the files are permitted W & X to everyone. Actually,
the archives are using a different permission scheme than regular Unix..
we're running the archives off AFS (the Andrew File System), whose
permissions are set differently (so if you worry about those files
disappearing.. don't).. and as always.. if you have any comments or
questions, I'll try to acknowledge and answer any messages you send
me.. thanks for taking the time to read my note..
Michael...
