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.
