This directory contains various documents (articles and reports) about the
STONE project.
All files are stored in PostScript compressed format. You must therefore set
the transmission mode to binary before actually launching the transfer
procedure with ftp. Example:
ftp> binary
200 Type set to I.
ftp> get STONE-A-Short-Overview.ps.Z
You can easily get a hardcopy of the uploaded documents if you have
access to a PostScript printer. Do not forget first to uncompress the
files. Example:
local) uncompress STONE-A-Short-Overview.ps.Z
...the file is uncompressed...
local) lpr -Pmyprinter STONE-A-Short-Overview.ps
...the PostScript file is printed on myprinter...
Notice that some reports are actually stored in sub-directories. This
is notably the case when articles contain images that could not be
directly embedded in the final PostScript file. For these documents,
text and images have to be printed separately. The entire contents of
these directories is stored in corresponding tar files. Such tar files
must be transferred in binary mode and then extract as follows:
local) tar xvbf 256 ADocument.dir.tar
The directory old contains some older, obsolete literature on the STONE project.
