- ** README File for Windows Archive at monu6.cc.monash.edu.au
- ** mirroring ftp.cica.indiana.edu

- ** Last Updated Wed Dec 23 11:26 1992

-
- ** Introduction
-
- The Internet site, monu6.cc.monash.edu.au, mirrors the United States
- Windows3 archive site ftp.cica.indiana.edu. It includes Windows3 tips,
- utilities and demonstrations. The archive currently maintains well over
- 210 megabytes of Windows3-related material. The files are not virus checked,
- nor tested for functionality, so you must assume full responsibility for
- their use on your machine.
-
- ** Access
-
- Ftp access to monu6 is quite simple: type "ftp monu6.cc.monash.edu.au"
- to your prompt. You'll be asked for a login name (type "anonymous"). Enter
- username@hostname.domain for a password. This is optional but will help
- us gather statistics for gauging the popularity of this archive.
-
- If you don't have ftp access but have access to "fetchfile" then try the
- following commands:
- fetchfile -dmonu6.cc.monash.oz pub/ls-lR [fetch directory list]
- fetchfile -dmonu6.cc.monash.oz pub/win3/util/at.zip [fetch an example file]
-
- ** Getting Software: The INDEX and ls-ltR Files
-
- Go into the win3 directory ("cd pub/win3"), and see what we have by
- getting the ASCII file called "INDEX" (type "get INDEX" to your ftp
- prompt). The file "pub/ls-lR" is an output from the "ls -lR" command on
- the entire public ftp directory structure. This file presents an ordered
- list of the files in each subdirectory. The file "pub/ls-lR.Z" is the
- compressed version of this list of files, but you must type "bin" or
- "tenex" before getting the compressed version.
-
- The archive is updated daily at 10:00 PM AEST.
-
- ** Downloading Software
-
- Most of the Windows 3 archives are in "zip" archives for which you will
- need the pkunzip utility. A copy of pkunzip can be found in the pub/pc
- directory on monu6.cc.monash.edu.au
-
- Change into individual directories (e.g., "cd pub/win3/fonts") and issue
- a "dir" or "ls" command to see the available files. When you are ready
- to download, tell ftp you're transferring binary files (type "tenex"
- or "binary" to your ftp prompt) and you're ready to fetch files ("get
- filename").
-
- ** Uploading Software
-
- Windows files should be uploaded to the primary source of the archive which
- is ftp.cica.indiana.edu. Your upload will automatically appear on monu6 the
- next time cica is mirrored.
-
- If, for some reason, you feel that you must upload a file to monu6, then
- please place all uploads in the "pub/uploads" subdirectory and send mail
- to "steve@cc.monash.edu.au" BRIEFLY describing your contribution. The
- same rules apply to uploading as downloading: if the file is a PC
- binary, type "tenex" or "bin" first before doing a "put filename".
-
- I would like to set some sort of standard file format here so that you
- don't need fifteen different file compression utilities to unwrap the
- software. Therefore, please use PKZIP (version 1.1 or later) or ZOO
- (version 2.00 or later) to wrap your software.
-
- ** A Note About Bitmap Files (.BMP)
-
- Since the inception of this archive in June 1990, many thousands of
- users have had access to these files, and hence, plenty of time to
- "snarf and share" the bitmap images with their friends, families, and
- their favorite local bulletin boards and ftp sites. Therefore, the
- images stored here will age six months and then they are purged. This
- is the only relief valve we currently have to keep disk space alive
- for the other files.
-
- ** Questions?
-
- E-mail to steve@cc.monash.edu.au
-
- ** A Reminder!
-
- Please, PLEASE remember to type "TENEX" or "bin" to your ftp program
- *BEFORE* uploading or downloading binary files. You will end up getting
- "corrupt files" if you didn't type "tenex" or "bin" before downloading.
-
- If you are using KERMIT to transfer from your Unix host to your PC,
- remember to tell kermit "set file type binary" before beginning the
- download.
-
- Thank you,
-
- Steve
