This is the README file for the
WISR Software Reuse Repository
------------------------------
******** IMPORTANT **********
This file is currently being updated rapidly with respect to WISR6
changes. It will change (for the better we hope) fairly
quickly.
*****************************
The current release of the WISR Software Reuse Repository contains:
1) The proceedings of the Fourth Annual Workshop on
Software Reuse (WISR4, 1991).
2) The proceedings of the Fifth Annual Workshop on
Software Reuse (WISR5, 1992).
3) The proceedings of the Sixth Annual Workshop on
Software Reuse (WISR6, 1993)
The repository materials are available in ASCII, DVI, LaTeX, PostScript and/or
Word 5.0 (Macintosh and IBM) file formats.
The repository is accessible, at
no charge, via anonymous FTP or via Internet access. Instructions for
using FTP appear at the end of this file.
Important NOTE for WISR4 and WISR5
----------------------------------
The directory "/pub/WISR/wisr4/proceedings/Patches" and
the directory "/pub/WISR/wisr5/proceedings/Patches" contain personalized
README files (i.e., README.author) which contain IMPORTANT clarifications,
corrections and/or additions to the corresponding author's original paper.
The absence of a README.author file means that there is nothing speacial
to report about that particular author's paper.
Everyone should take a look in these directories before commenting on missing
figures and the like. This is the ONLY place where you can find out about
such things as:
1) Errors we made while assembling the proceedings,
2) Which authors used external PostScript figures in their respective paper.
Often, the figures must be FTP'd separately from (in addition to) the
LaTeX, PostScript or ASCII version of the respective author's paper.
3) Which authors used external bibliography files. If you FTP the LaTeX
version of a paper, you must also FTP the corresponding ".bib" file.
With the ".bib" file, use BibTeX in order to generate the bibliography.
4) Which papers appear only in Word 5.0 format or ASCII format.
The remainder of this README file contains information about the structure
of the repository and contents of the various files within it. We strongly
suggest that you read it carefully. Thank you.

Internet/Anonymous FTP Access
-----------------------------
Internet users may use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to retrieve files from
the WISR repository. Those less familiar with FTP should pay close attention
to the following sample FTP session.
Conventions:
"%" is YOUR system's prompt.
"ftp>" is the prompt you will see after connecting to our host machine.
"#" denotes a comment.
A typical FTP session looks much like the following:
% mkdir WISR # Make a directory to store retrieved files.
% cd WISR # Move to this directory before FTPing.
% ftp gandalf.umcs.maine.edu # Connect to our archive machine (be gentle).
Name (gandalf...): anonymous # Login as an "anonymous" user, then enter
Password: userid@machine # your userid and your machineid. If you are
# connected, our message will greet you.
ftp> cd pub/WISR # Move to the WISR repository root directory.
ftp> dir # List the contents of the "pub/WISR" directory.
ftp> get README # Retrieve (for example) this README file.
ftp> cd wisr4/proceedings # Move to the "wisr4/proceedings" directory.
ftp> dir # List the contents (you can also use 'ls').
ftp> get TOC.tex # Retrieve the table of contents (LaTeX format).
# NOTE: Use 'mget' to retrieve multiple files.
# ---- Type '?' for a list of FTP commands.
ftp> quit # Bid gandalf adieu by
