Host: Net Address: Directory: ---------------------------------------------------- princeton.edu 128.112.128.1 /pub/ml research.att.com 192.20.225.2 /dist/ml The directory pub/ml (dist/ml on research.att.com) contains this README file and the following compressed tar files: 75.releaseNotes.ps : Postscript version of Release Notes 75.releaseNotes.txt: raw text version of Release Notes 75.doc.tar.Z : the doc directory containing documentation 75.src.tar.Z : the src directory containing source code 75.lib.tar.Z : the lib directory containing library software 75.tools.tar.Z : the tools directory containing useful utilities 75.mo.m68.tar.Z : the mo.m68 directory of m68 object files 75.mo.vax.tar.Z : the mo.vax directory of vax object files 75.mo.sparc.tar.Z : the mo.sparc directory of sparc object files 75.mo.mipsl.tar.Z : MIPS Little-endian object files (for DEC machines) 75.mo.mipsb.tar.Z : MIPS Big-endian object files (for MIPSCo, SGI) You need only transfer the 75.mo.*.tar.Z files that you need for your machines (e.g. 75.mo.m68.tar.Z for Sun 3, NeXT, etc., 75.mo.vax.tar.Z for Vax). The Release Notes are also included in the doc directory. *************************************************************************** NOTE: Ftp should be put into binary mode before transferring the compressed tar files. *************************************************************************** Here is a sample dialog: ftp ftp> open princeton.edu Name: anonymous Password: ftp> binary ftp> cd pub/ml ftp> get README ftp> get 75.src.tar.Z ftp> get 75.lib.tar.Z ftp> get 75.tools.tar.Z ftp> get 75.doc.tar.Z ftp> get 75.mo.m68.tar.Z ftp> get 75.mo.vax.tar.Z ftp> close ftp> quit After the files are transferred they should be uncompressed and then extracted using tar into a directory called (e.g.) mldist. For example: mkdir mldist mv 75.src.tar.Z mldist cd mldist zcat 75.src.tar.Z | tar fox - will install the src directory.
