ADMIN: Lojban parser available, FTP site reorganized



This is John Cowan.

I have made the Lojban parser generally available by anonymous FTP
from casper.cs.yale.edu:/pub/lojban/parser.  There is a ZIP file containing
MS-DOS executable and various documentation files; there is also a shar.Z
file containing Unix source and the same documentation files.  The
current version is 2;5;33, which supports the 2nd baseline with all
technical changes through 33.

If you retrieve and use the parser, please send a financial contribution
(whatever you can afford).  Cheques payable to "The Logical Language Group
Inc." may be sent to:

        2904 Beau Lane
        Fairfax VA 22031
        U.S.A.

Foreign-currency cheques drawn on foreign banks are acceptable, but a
fee of US$3.50 is deducted from whatever the current exchange rate is.

===================

I have also reorganized the /pub/lojban directory into a variety of
subdirectories to eliminate clutter.  Please place all new postings into
the /pub/lojban/incoming directory.  Most subdirectories have their own
READ.ME files now as well.

If you have internet access, here is how to use ftp:  type
"ftp" at a prompt, then when asked for your user name, type "anonymous".
When it asks for your password, enter your email address.  Then at the
ftp> prompt, type "cd pub/lojban".  Type "ls -l" to get a listing, and
"get <file>" when you want to receive a file.

If you don't have direct internet access - say if you are reading this
through the UUCP network or on Compuserve - here's how to get the files
by email (you need uudecode and compress):  Send a message to
ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com, any subject.  The body should be like this:

connect casper.cs.yale.edu
reply <your address here> (this line may not be necessary but just to be
        safe) compress cd pub/lojban
compress
cd pub/lojban
send <file1>
send <file2>
(etc., etc.)
quit

(in that case you'll get them overnight instead of within a few seconds.
:))  You'll receive several messages containing UUEncoded, compressed
files.  You'll have to remove the headers and put them all together in a
text file, then uudecode it, then uncompress it.
