Subject: How to get Mach docmumentation Date: Sept, 1994 ------------------------------------------- The whole Mach public area can mostly easily be browsed using a WWW browser. The starting URL is htpp://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/mach/public/www/mach.html The first step in obtaining Mach documentation is to get a copy of the Mach Bibliography. It can be FTP'ed from the mach public/doc directory as mach_bib.ps (postscript) or mach_bib.doc (ascii). It contains the title, abstract and on-line file name of most of the Mach related papers written by CMU people. You can then FTP the specific documents you need. FTP to mach.cs.cmu.edu (128.2.209.192), as "anonymous", at the password prompt send your Username@site. Then "cd /usr/mach/public/doc". You can then use the standard ftp commands, e.g. get, ls with relative path names for the files. The articles are available in postscript(.ps) and ascii(.doc). The doc directory has a number of subdirectories so you should use the Mach Bibliography to find specific documents. Theses are available through the CS Department Technical Reports distribution procedure. Finger reports@cs.cmu.edu to find out the FTP directory for Tech Reports. Paper copies can be provided for a fee. Send mail to reports@cs.cmu.edu for details.
