-
- Asalamulaikum,
-
- There has been some interest in accessing Caltech's ftp site, but
- some of you have found it hard to do. This is a short primer on the
- site and how to access it.
-
- C A L T E C H M U S L I M S S T U D E N T S
- =================================================
-
- Dated: January 30, 1994
-
- Caltech Muslim Students Group offers number of files on its
- ftp server. These files have been extracted from different
- forums and are in compressed (in UNIX) format.
-
- Asim Mughal (mughal@alumni.Caltech.Edu)
- Asif Khalak (asif@romeo.caltech.edu)
- ____________________________________________________________________________
-
- Primer on getting documents from the Caltech MSA ftp site.
-
- 1. To access the site, you should log into a UNIX account. If you
- don't have one, get one. The reason that UNIX is preferred is that it
- is currently the operating system of choice in academic spheres which
- are capable of using ftp. The other reason that UNIX is used is that
- efficient data compression routines are standardly packaged with UNIX,
- and we can thus pack more information into the limited space that we
- are allocated for the site.
-
- 2. The next step is to run ftp (stands for File Transfer
- Protocol). The information is stored at punisher.caltech.edu (this is
- called the location of the site). To do this type the following at
- the command prompt:
-
- % ftp punisher.caltech.edu
-
- Alternatively, you can start up ftp and go to punisher within it, like
- this:
-
- % ftp
- ftp> open punisher.caltech.edu
-
- Note that the "ftp>" is a prompt provided by the ftp program.
-
- 3. At this point ftp will ask for a name. The information is public,
- so you'll want to use anonymous ftp. That is, at the name prompt,
- type anonymous.
-
- Name: anonymous
-
- 4. Then ftp will say it's okay, but you need to send identification as
- the password. This means that when it asks you for a password, you
- type in your e-mail address.
-
- Password: <your address> (for example: mughal@caltech.edu)
-
- 5. Now you are in the Caltech system. The next step is to get to the
- Muslim Student's association directory. The full name of the
- directory is /home/ftp/pub/calmsa. However, you are placed into the
- /home/ftp directory when you get in. To get to the msa directory,
- then, type:
-
- ftp> cd pub/calmsa
-
- Note, the on-line Quran translation is located in a subdirectory of
- the calmsa directory named Quran. To get into it, use "cd Quran".
- Also, you can use the command "ls", as in UNIX, to list the files in
- the directory that you are currently in.
-
- 6. At this point you can retrieve files. Things go more quickly if
- you are in binary mode. Thus, you tell ftp,
-
- ftp> mode bin
-
- 7. To get a file, you simply use the command get. For example,
-
- ftp> get thefileIwant.Z
-
- A list of files with brief descriptions is located in the file README.
- It is NOT compressed, so you can simply read it.
-
- 8. Notice that the file from get has a .Z extension. This is because
- it is compressed. To uncompress it, you need to get out of ftp. The
- command is "bye". At the command line, the command to uncompress,
- surprisingly enough, is "uncompress"
-
- ftp> bye
- % uncompress thefileIwant
-
- 9. Now you can print the file, more it, whatever...

- Subject: 12) Format of IINN Newsletters/Digests
-
-
- Assalamo Alaykum: (Greetings)
-
- Due to our increased contributor resources and automated generation of
- Newsletter, you are experiencing increased volume in our Newsletters.
- Under these circumstances, you might wish to read portions of our
- Newsletters. This communique is to help you in doing so.
-
- First of all, let me explain the order in which the Newsletter will
- always be prepared. Following the header, there might be a short special
- Greetings. This will be followed by the `Contents' section. This section
- contains all the items that are to appear after it. They appear in order
- as following:
-
-
- 1. Quran
- 2. Hadith
- 3. Editorial
- 4. News
- 5. Articles
- 6. Announcements
- 7. Letters to the Editor
-
-
- All of them might not neccessarily appear in every issue. However, these
- sections will be marked by the above title and followed by dots `.' .
-
- All the items that appear in the `Contents' section will be preceded by
- exactly a line as appeared in the `Contents' section. This gives a very
- important edge to the reader. The reader may chose the entire line as it
- appears in the `Contents' section or even a part of it, as a pattern to
- search in the rest of the message. Since the item is preceeded by an
- exactly same line, the pattern search should find it. This will provide
- the reader with selective reading ability.
-
- Examples on different platforms are provided below:
-
-
- Unix:
- ____
-
- Once you are in the Unix mail facility, the default pager is
- more (1). You can define other pagers like less (1) using the
- PAGER variable while in mail utility or in ~/.mailrc file.
- Please see the following for more information:
-
- more (1), less (1), mail (1)
-
- However, once you have started reading the Newsletter, you can
- page down to the `Contents' section. Select the article that you
- like. Now search for it by using the slash `/' command in `more'
- or `less' followed by the string that you want to search for. It
- will, of course be more convenient if you have a mouse to this
- for you.
-
-
- Sunview:
- _______
-
- Using the mailtool Sun utility makes it very easy for this
- purpose. Select a line by quickly clicking with the left button
- three times. You can also click the line with clicking with left
- button at the beginning of the line and middle button at the end
- of the line. Now press the right button anywhere in the window
- Newsletter is displayed. This will display a menu. Move the
- pointer to the Fourth sub-menu: `Find' and keep moving it to the
- arrow at right. This will give you another menu.The second entry
- in this new menu is `Find Selection'. Take the pointer to this
- entry and release the right mouse button. It will take you to
- that particular article.
-
-
-
- You are welcome to add another platform to this list. This might help
- other Muslimeen and Muslimaat.
-
- The formatting software, Nebula, was written by IINN staff.
-
- Jazakumullaho Khairan Katheeran!

- world hold special prayers and sacrifice animals to commemorate the
