The file 'arrangement' shows the current structure of the archive with
a short explanation of what everything is.  You should look at this file
first so you'll have a chance of finding anything in the archives.

There are two listings of the files in this archive in the /info directory

   ls-lR		ls-lR.Z (compressed version of ls-lR)
   files.lst		files.lst.Z (compressed version of files.lst)

which are in different formats.  ls-lR was made with the UNIX command
"ls -lR" (why are you not surprised?) and files.lst was made using the
'find -ls' command.  The files.lst file shows the complete path of each
file in the archives.  There are also compressed versions of the two
listing files that are MUCH smaller; just add ".Z" to the name of the
listing file.

Here is an example of the format of each listing file, so that you
won't have to download both of them:

==> ls-lR <==
total 2038
-rw-r--r--  1 root         5398 Feb 18 08:00 arrangement
d--x--x--x  2 root          512 Apr 30 21:58 bin
d--x--x--x  2 root          512 May 12 21:57 etc
-rw-r--r--  1 root     11631814 Mar  2 02:52 files.lst

==> files.lst <==
-rw-r--r--  1 root     archive      4292 Jan 21 11:06 ./arrangement
-rw-rw-r--  1 root     archive  11631814 Mar  2 02:52 ./info/files.lst
-rw-rw-r--  1 root     wheel         398 Apr 30 20:51 ./fixes/BSD.VAX/README
-rw-rw-r--  1 root     wheel       44032 Apr 30 20:36 ./fixes/BSD.VAX/chfn

Most of the files in the archive are compressed with the UNIX COMPRESS
program.  Wuarchive's FTP server is capable of uncompressing files on
the fly, so if you are unable to compress a file on your own you can
invoke the decompression feature by retrieving <file> rather than
<file>.Z.  For example, if you want to get an uncompressed copy of
part01.Z, retrieve part01 and it will be uncompressed for you.

It is also possible to have wuarchive create a TAR file of most
directories in the archives (many of the largest directories have this
ability disabled to prevent people from accidentally retrieving 500MB
with a single command) by retrieving <directory>.tar.  For example, to
get a copy of all the files in /systems/unix/4.3bsd-reno as a single
tar file:

	ftp> cd /systems/unix
	ftp> get 4.3bsd-reno.tar

The archives are available for mounting over the network via NFS.  The
mounting instructions can be found in the file README.NFS in the /info
directory.
