ANNOUNCEMENT 92-5
This message is being sent to the FTP, PostScript and Plain Text
mailing lists, although the news under part (2) applies ONLY to the
PostScript and Plain Text lists, and news under part (3) applies ONLY
to the FTP list.
1) Update news.
Finally, we are up to date. All updates and new entries have been
incorporated in a new paper version of the Internet Resource Guide is
currently at the printer. We will begin next week to send out copies
to people who have already ordered them.
The November 1992 version has seven chapters, divided into a total of
150 sections. Each section contains an individual entry. Seventy
entries were updated in 1992 and 14 are new since November 1991; the
remaining 66, which date from before November 1991, are "old". We
expect to get them updated soon. We also hope to get many new entries
in the near future. If you know of a resource that we should list,
please send an email message to "resource-guide@nnsc.nsf.net", and we
will send a template and instructions for preparing the entry.
The front matter is new, and so are the "intro" files for the seven
chapters. The date for each entry now appears at the end of each
section title in each of the "intro" files, as well as in the footer
line in the entry itself.
2) For people on the PostScript and Plain Text mailing lists:
The files in the resource-guide directory on nnsc.nsf.net fully
reflect the new version. Some of the new and updated entries have
already been distributed to the PostScript and Plain Text mailing
lists.
We will begin distributing the rest of the files immediately: first an
informal "index-resource-guide" file that lists ALL the files
(including the tarred and compressed files for FTP), then the entries,
new and updated, that have not yet distributed, and finally the new
front matter and intro files.
As we noted in AN-92-3 and AN-92-3A, we made a change in the way that
we send out PostScript files. Internet Resource Guide .ps entries
were changed to have "---cut-here---" lines. In the interest of
consistency, we have now added a "---cut-here---" line at the
beginning of the .txt entries that are distributed through the
Resource Guide mailing lists.
3) For people on the FTP mailing list:
Give the command "ftp nnsc.nsf.net". Login as "anonymous" with
password "guest". Give the command "cd resource-guide".
The tarred and compressed files have all been updated. The simplest
way to update your set of resource-guide files is to ftp the tarred
and compressed version of the entire set, in either PostScript or
Text form:
resource-guide.ps.tar.Z [These contain the entire Guide,
resource-guide.txt.tar.Z including the Front Matter.]
template.txt
If you want to get individual chapters, or just the changes that
have been made in each chapter, you can do that, also. For each of
the seven chapters, 1-6 and M, there is a set of tarred and compressed
files in the "resource-guide" directory, for example:
chapter1-changes-ps.tar.Z
chapter1-changes-txt.tar.Z
chapter1-ps.tar.Z
chapter1-txt.tar.Z
The "changes" files contain only the files that were
changed in 1992 and December 1991.
Other files in the resource-guide directory are:
README
help
index-resource-guide
ls-lsR
overview
privacy-accuracy
resource-guide-help
resource-guide.ps.tar.Z [These contain the entire Guide,
resource-guide.txt.tar.Z including the Front Matter.]
template.txt
wholeguide.txt.Z [This contains the Text version of the
Guide, compressed but not tarred.]
To get files from the "front-matter" subdirectory, give the command
"cd front-matter":
copyright.ps
copyright.txt
cover.ps
cover.txt
intro.ps
intro.txt
toc.ps
toc.txt
To return to the "resource-guide" directory, " cd .."
Then, if you want the "announce" files, "cd announce"

announce/an-92-3.txt
announce/an-92-3a.txt
