\b0 NeXT Mail attachments are encouraged. (Otherwise, send tar'd, compressed, and uuencoded files.) If your program is too large to mail, or if you have other questions related to using the archive server, send a message to
\i0 Large files: tar and compress, and ftp directly to the directory called "submissions". Small files: ftp as above or mail to next-ftp@cs.OrSt.EDU. Don't send NeXT Mail attachments.\

See the man pages for
\b tar
\b0 ,
\b compress
\b0 and
\b uuencode
\b0 as necessary. It's preferable to tar the files such that untar'ing them will create a directory. That is, instead of cd'ing to the target directory and doing \
\f1 tar cvf destinationfile .
\f0 \
cd to the parent directory and\
\f1 tar cvf destinationfile sourcedirectory
\f0 \
The following command will do the tar and compress in one step:\
\f1 tar cfh -
directoryName
| compress >
directoryName
.tar.Z\
\f0 Note that this example gives the archive file the same name as the unarchived directory (
\f1 directoryName
\f0 ), which is helpful.

\f0 For instructions on ftp'ing to the sites, read the NextAnswers file misc.227 and the
\b ftp
\b0 man page.\

NOTE: Send nothing (including images and sounds) that's copyrighted by other parties.\
