- INTERNET GUIDE
-
- In this session we will go to another machine and get an Internet
- guide. Many of you may have to watch their disk allocation as we
- go out and retrieve documents.
-
- The command to type at your system prompt to find out your disk usage is:
-
- > VM : 'query disk'
- > VMS : 'show quota'
- > UNIX : 'quota' or 'quota -v'
-
- We will look at the SURAnet machine and see what documents are
- accessible. I will use the "cd" command twice to change
- directories to get to pub/nic. There I will use the command
- "get 00-README.FIRST | more" to read the readme file.
-
- (Jim mentions that this only works on UNIX machines. For VMS use
- "get 00-README.FIRST tt:" and there is no equivilant for VM.)
-
- Finally I will get the document "Infoguide.8-17.txt".
-
- ***The file probably has a different name. It will be
- Infoguide.xx-xx.txt where the xx-xx will be the date
- of the last update. Remember the capital I in Infoguide***
