Subject: [CANSLIM] Sending large files to the canslim group
Everyone,
>From time to time, you may wish to share large files with our group (i.e. gif, jpeg, spreadsheets, etc). Our list is configured to reject large postings (even if they are properly encoded) since the sheer volume has caused problems in the past. As an alternative, we have provided an anonymous ftp site. To provide your file to the group, please follow these instructions:
1. Send your file to: "ftp://chaos.csd.sdl.usu.edu/pub/incoming/". See ftp instructions below.
2. Send mail to me directly at "jeff.salisbury@sdl.usu.edu" telling me the name of the file that you uploaded. I will move the file from the incoming directory, to the canslim directory where people will be able to download your file.
3. After I notify you that the file has been moved to the canslim directory, you should send an email to the canslim group describing your file, and its URL (i.e. ftp://chaos.csd.sdl.usu.edu/pub/canslim/GreatBoom.gif).
Although this may seem unwieldy at first, it really isn't too bad and it solves more problems than it creates.
You should note that I do not monitor my email on the weekends as closely as during the week. Therefore, steps 2-3 may take longer over a weekend.
1. Using Netscape, go to the URL: "ftp://chaos.csd.sdl.usu.edu/pub/incoming/".
2. On the Netscape "File" menu, select "Upload File..." This will open a file selection widget on your hard-drive. Select the file you wish to upload and hit the "Ok" button. At this point, your file will be uploaded.
3. Eventhough your file has been uploaded, you will not be able to see the file in your netscape browser. The reason for this is that the "incoming" directory is set to write-only for security reasons.

Subject: [CANSLIM] Breakout - PLXS
For those that are interested, PLXS is breaking out on excellent volume from a double
bottom formation today. The numbers appear to be quite good.
