This file (osu-cis!~/GNU.how-to-get) describes how to get the
following software from osu-cis via semi-anonymous UUCP:

Compress	GNU /bin Utilities	GNU Assembler	GNU Awk
GNU Bash	GNU Bison	GNU C++ Compiler	GNU C++ Debugger
GNU C++ Library	GNU C Compiler	GNU Chess	GNU Debugger
GNU Diff	GNU Emacs	GNU Emacs Ada support
GNU Emacs Franz interface	GNU Emacs Lisp Manual
GNU Go	GNU Grep	GNU Lex	GNU Make	GNU Pins & Art
GNU Plot	GNU Sed	GNU Tar	GNUS	Ghostscript	Gnews
Ispell	JOVE	KA9Q	Kermit	Leif	MIT C Scheme	Mg2a
NNTP	News	Oops	PC RRN	Patch	Pathalias
Protoize	Proxy ARP	RCS	RFCs and IDEAS
SB Prolog	Sendmail5.61	STDWIN	Smail 2.5	Tcsh

There's a lot of other available miscellany that isn't explicitly
listed here.  You can find out about it in the file osu-cis!~/ls-lR.Z

The Computer and Information Science Department of the Ohio State
University provides Free Software Foundation GNU products (and others)
via UUCP only as a redistribution service.  Anything found here is
only and exactly as it would be found on the indicated Internet hosts,
were one to acquire it via anonymous FTP (like we did); or else saved
it as it flowed past on the Usenet source distribution newsgroups.
OSU CIS takes no responsibility for the contents of any of the
distributions described in this message.  See the Distribution
document (emacs/etc/DISTRIB when you unpack and build Emacs) and the
GNU Emacs General Public License (emacs/etc/COPYING, similarly).

Much of the GNU software is in beta-test.  For a list of the current
statuses (stati?), ask gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu for a copy of the latest
FSF order form.

How to reach osu-cis via uucp
===============================
Here is a set of L.sys or Systems file lines suitable for osu-cis:

#
# Micom switch 2400 bps
#
osu-cis Any ACU 2400 1-614-292-3124 "" \r\c Name? osu-cis nected \c GO \d\r\d\r\d\r in:--in:--in: Uanon
#
# Micom switch 1200 bps
#
osu-cis Any ACU 1200 1-614-292-3112 "" \r\c Name? osu-cis nected \c GO \d\r\d\r\d\r in:--in:--in: Uanon

Modify as appropriate for your site, of course, to deal with your
local telephone system.  There is no limit concerning what hours of
the day you may call.  The new osu-cis has ten lines on the Micom
switch that all work very well, so the directly-connected 1200bps and
2400bps modems have been retired.

Where the files are
===================
Most items exist on osu-cis for distribution purposes in compressed
tar form, exactly what you find on the indicated hosts in the
specified origin files.  Most items are cut into pieces for the sake
of uucp sanity.  This separation helps if your uucp session fails
midway through a conversation; you need restart only with the part
that failed, rather than the whole beast.  The pieces are typically
named with a root word, followed by letter pairs like "aa" and "bj,"
meaning that the pieces are all named with the root word, followed by
a dash and the suffixes indicated, using the letters inclusive between
the two limits.  All pieces but the last are 100,000 bytes long, and
the fragmentary last piece has some smaller size.

The instruction listings below are alphabetized as in the summary
block above.

----------------
Source is labrea.stanford.edu:pub/gnu/g++-1.35.0.tar.Z as of 16 May.

There are some diff files available, previous to and sometimes beyond
the current osu-cis `base' gcc distribution (1.35 now).  Diffs
available are:

Diffs available are ~/gnu/gcc/
    gcc.diff-1.30-1.31.Z   63,593
    gcc.diff-1.31-1.32.Z  204,325
    gcc.diff-1.32-1.33.Z  306,702
    gcc.diff-1.33-1.34.Z  208,826
    gcc.diff-1.34-1.35.Z  377,177

GCC requires Bison, since it uses a feature (@n) of Bison that's not
in Yacc.  Remember to pick that up too - see the instructions above.
GDB, the GNU Debugger for C, is available separately - see above.

Current releases of gcc comment (in the source) that a version of
Bison not older than Sep 8 1988 is required for correct operation.
Such a version is now in place on osu-cis.

I have been asked to continue to emphasize that "although ... GCC is
heading toward reliability, it is still a test release that generates
a few new bug reports a week...  Generally people shouldn't yet use
GCC except to help debug it, or if they are interested in porting it
or writing new front ends for it, until it becomes more stable."  The
compiler will be considered non-beta when it has successfully produced
a full running UNIX system from sources.

Apple Macintosh  A/UX 1.1 support is available separately:

    diff-18.52-18.53.Z     38,576
    diff-18.53-18.54.Z     70,153

Note that diff files frequently have new files or instructions at
their top, and that it may be necessary to cut a diff file into as
many pieces as there are directories in which patches were made; this
depends largely on the recency of your patch program.

What to do with it all - building Emacs as an example
======================
Pick a night when you can afford to be at the office late.  {:-)}

Arrange to have the files uucp'd to your site.  Copying the complete
set of Emacs slices will take on the order of 5 hours at 2400 bps,
correspondingly more at 1200.  Your mileage will definitely vary, by
as much as 20% on either side of that (intentionally vague) estimate.
By way of comparison, a transfer of Emacs 18.50 at 2400bps to
Portland, Oregon was reported to cost about $42.00, weekend rates.  If
you successfully UUCP anything from osu-cis, please send us mail
describing any problems you had, and (if possible) an estimate of how
long it took you and at what baud rate, so that we can keep these
figures up to date.

Note: Do not request the files to be transferred using a command like

% uucp osu-cis!~/gnu/emacs/18.54/edist\* /some/local/directory

because that won't work.  That will queue up a short request via *uux*
to run a uucp command on osu-cis; it will fail for security reasons.
You must issue many uucp commands: one for each file in each
distribution you want, plus one for each diff file you want.  They
will all get queued and executed in as few UUCP connections as
possible.

After the files have all showed up, you should extract the full
distribution of GNU Emacs thusly:
        cat edist.tar-18.54.Z-part-?? | zcat | tar xvf -
Voila`, you have GNU Emacs, ready to build and cause you both joy and
pain for the rest of your life.  The other stuff available here is
unpacked similarly.

The `zcat' mentioned above is part of the `compress' distribution,
which you will have to get if you don't have it yet.  Everything that
we distribute (except `compress' itself) is compressed with a 16-bit
Lempel-Ziv scheme.  Some computers (notably those based on Intel
family microprocessors) are unable for memory segmentation reasons to
handle compression with a scheme higher than 12 bits.  Since we can't
afford the space and time to provide both 12- and 16-bit distributions
via this mechanism, if you need things in a 12-bit compression format,
you will need to find a cooperative friend with a full 32-bit machine
to uncompress the distribution, and possibly recompress it for you in
12-bit format.

Miscellany
==========
This file of instructions exists as the file ~/GNU.how-to-get, and is
updated as new distributions and diffs come out and are made
available.  This happens much more frequently than the full set of
instructions are posted to comp.sources.d, so get it first to be sure
what you are getting later in each night's UUCP transfer.
Unfortunately, the worst case might be that (e.g.) if you only get
part of a full distribution one night and a new version arrives during
the day, you might get some of the part-*s for the old version and not
know that the rest of your part-*s are from the new one.  Get this
file to be sure.

There's another file called ~/ls-lR.Z that contains the output of
executing the comand `ls -lR' at the top level of the UUCP
distribution tree.  Lots of other stuff is available besides the most
popular stuff that's listed here.  That file is updated daily at
around 3:00am Eastern time, so you may want to get it occasionally to
keep up to date.

People often have problems with uucp.  Feel free to write us some
mail; we'll be happy to help as much as we can, though that is usually
limited by distance and mail turnaround time.

Cheers,
