- A few months ago there was a message from someone at STARS that
- said that the STARS machine will no longer be accessible via FTP.
- Perhaps this was only for the machine at source.asset.com, though.
-
- It's a shame, because FTP is much, much, much easier to use than
- the beast that you find if you dial the STARS' repository. The
- repository software has brought me to tears on several occasions. At one
- point, I was able to find the Unix directory that held the STARS
- source code, and use good old 'ls' and 'grep' to find what I was looking
- for, but that back door has been closed recently. You _have_ to use
- the nasty repository front end.
-
- Contact Ms. Tanya Lawrence (703-620-7929) for more information on
- gaining access to the Unisys STARS Center.
