ICUS Software Archive - Monthly update

[Gil Kloepfer Jr.]

This ICUS archives have been significantly expanded since my last posting.
>From here on in, this message will only be posted monthly.  Feel free to
pass along the information to others who may need it.

Note that I have included additional information on the use of the "uucp"
command.  Also note that the archives are ONLY AVAILABLE BETWEEN 3AM and
NOON EST.  My apologies for not allowing additional availability, but I
need the modem for other things during the off-hours.

Enjoy!

==============

Archives are available between the hours of 3:00AM and 12:00PM (noon) EST.
All requests made outside this time will be rejected.  Access can be
made via 1200 or 2400 baud, or Trailblazer PEP speed.

Note that since the archive has been significantly expanded since its
creation three weeks ago.  Hopefully this will better serve the UNIX-pc
community.

facedisp.sh.Z		CS	Program to display Usenix FaceSaver files

tb-setup.sh.Z		CS	Telebit TrailBlazer setup scripts and usage

Type code legend
----------------

	T = Text file
	C = Compressed (using "compress")
	S = Shell archive (shar) format  (/bin/sh file  or unshar to unarchive)
	P = Unix cpio format (cpio -icuvmd <file  to unarchive)


----------------------------------
Chat script and using the archives
----------------------------------

The following chat script should have the best results.  Note that you
should change the ACU and speed designation to whatever your local machine
supports.  We support 1200BPS, 2400BPS, and Telebit PEP speeds.

icusarch Any0300-1200 ACU 2400 15167946502 "" \r\d\r\d\r\d in:--in: icusarch

files may be requested by using the command:

$ uucp icusarch!~/file_name your_file_name

where file_name is the file name from the archive above, and
your_file_name is where you wish to copy the file on your system.

We suggest putting files received from the archive in /tmp or
/usr/spool/uucppublic because uucp cannot copy files to a directory it
can't access for write.
