- HHG
-
- Provide a convenient command to manage the collection of publicly
- available directory listings and individual files from previously
- specified Internet sites for a JANET host which runs hhcp under unix.
-
- The HHG files are unix scripts which are almost ready to use. The
- comments included in the scripts are intended to make them largely
- self-documenting for those familiar with unix scripts.
-
- Because I am at a JANET site which now has direct Internet connection I
- no longer use either script regularly. My recent use is limited to an
- April 1992 test collection of directories and files from oak and SIMTEL20
- using version 2.1 which was mainly to check that the message formats are
- still acceptable to FT-RELAY.
-
- Version 1.0 A basic form of the utility.
- ===========
- Before first use, read the comments at the head of the file, and act on
- them. You can add/amend/delete site data, but have to do it in two
- different places if the help screen is to be kept in line with the actual
- capability of the script:
- a) in the list of 'echo' lines just after the comment lines at the
- head of the file,
- b) in the host and basedirectory lines that follow a little further
- down the file.
- In both places, names like 'garbou' are just my choice of mnemonic for
- particular combinations of ftp-sitename and basedirectory. The layout of
- the file is not critical.
-
- Version 2.1 An elaborated version.
- ===========
- This includes guided-installation and once-only entry of information on
- ftp-site plus basedirectory combinations, but at the expense of
- * greater length,
- * the use of several unix utilities that may not be present on your
- system,
- * critical sensitivity to layout in the data sections.
