Hello xmca-er's!
Some news on the web/ftp front! Our graduate
student, Pim, is working very hard on our xmca web page
and it should be up and running in no time. On my end, I am
trying to get people's self-descriptions as well as chunks
of mail on the ftp server. I will post directions for using
ftp in this message. Some notes on the directions:
individual self-descriptions will be in the xmca directory,
as "lastname".html, (for example, cole.html). You can
access these messages the same way as the mail ones, by
typing get "cole.html." At present, there are only about
twenty self-descriptions up there; I will put more up as
soon as they are ready. A word of caution on the mail
messages-they are in ftp right now as monthly chunks, not
sorted except by date, which means that by their large size,
you may have
problems getting them sent to your system, depending on your
system's capabilities. As soon as we get them broken down
further, I will put them on ftp as smaller blocks, hopefully
by topic.
Hope this is making sense and helpful for those of you out
there without web access. We will give you our web
address when the page is up. Best of luck!
Sincerely,
Cheryl Karp

an anonymous ftp follow these instructions:
1) at your shell prompt type: ftp weber.ucsd.edu
2) login as anonymous
3) the password is your e-mail address
4) the directories are found by cd /pub/lchc
5) if you type ls there will be a list of the
sub-directories you can choose from
6) cd to the subdirectory you want (ex. if you wanted
xmca mail then type cd /xmca)
7) once in the subdir. there should be a list of
files available type get filename
8) in order to retreive the file,
just type the filename (for example, to retrieve
the mail from jan95xmca,
just type: get jan95xmca
9) the file will then appear in your own directory as a file
10) just quit out of ftp by typing "quit" or "bye"
