3 \appendix{B}{Distribution Mechanics}
|
|
|
4 The \mh5 distribution is available in two forms:
|
|
|
5 \smallskip
|
|
|
6 {\advance\leftskip by\parindent
|
|
|
7 \item{1.} Anonymous FTP\hbreak
|
|
|
8 If you can FTP to the ARPA Internet,
|
|
|
9 use anonymous FTP to the ARPAnet host UDel-Huey [10.2.0.96]
|
|
|
10 and retrieve the file portal/mh.5--tar.
|
|
|
11 This is a \pgm{tar} image of size 2.1~MB (approximately).
|
|
|
12
|
|
|
13 \item{2.} 9--track tape, 1600~bpi, \pgm{tar} format\hbreak
|
|
|
14 Otherwise, you can send \$50.00 to the address below.
|
|
|
15 This covers the cost of a magtape, handling, and shipping.
|
|
|
16 In addition,
|
|
|
17 you'll get a laser-printed hard-copy of the \MH/ documentation.
|
|
|
18 The documentation includes installation guide,
|
|
|
19 \MH/ Tutorial,
|
|
|
20 \MH/ User's Manual,
|
|
|
21 changes document (from \mh4 to \mh5),
|
|
|
22 and BBoards Manual.
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
24 \item{} If you go with this option,
|
|
|
25 be sure to include your USPS address with your check.
|
|
|
26 Checks should be made payable to
|
|
|
27 $$\hbox{Regents of the University of California}$$
|
|
|
28 It's also a good idea (though not mandatory) to send a computer mail message
|
|
|
29 to {\tx Bug-MH@UCI} when you send your check via USPS to ensure minimal
|
|
|
30 turn-around time.
|
|
|
31 The distribution address is:
|
|
|
32 $$\displayindent=\leftskip \advance\displayindent by1.5\parindent
|
|
|
33 \halign{\leftline{#}\cr
|
|
|
34 Support Group\cr
|
|
|
35 Attn: MH Distribution\cr
|
|
|
36 Department of Information and Computer Science\cr
|
|
|
37 University of California, Irvine\cr
|
|
|
38 Irvine, CA 92717\cr
|
|
|
39 \cr
|
|
|
40 714/856--6852\cr
|
|
|
41 }$$
|
|
|
42
|
|
|
43 \item{} Sadly, if you just want the hard-copies of the documentation,
|
|
|
44 you still have to pay the \$50.00.
|
|
|
45 The \pgm{tar} image has the documentation source
|
|
|
46 (the man is in \ROFF/ format, but the rest are in \TeX\ format).
|
|
|
47 \smallskip}
|
|
|
48 \noindent
|
|
|
49 In addition,
|
|
|
50 there is some hope that \mh5, or a successor,
|
|
|
51 might be found in a future 4.x~Berkeley distribution.
|
|
|
52
|
|
|
53 Although \MH/ is not ``supported'' per se,
|
|
|
54 it does have a bug reporting address.
|
|
|
55 Normally,
|
|
|
56 the address {\tx Bug-MH@UCI} is used to report bugs and bug fixes.
|
|
|
57 There are however,
|
|
|
58 two discussion groups which concern themselves with \MH/:
|
|
|
59 \smallskip
|
|
|
60 {\advance\leftskip by\parindent
|
|
|
61 \item{1.} MH-Users@UCI\hbreak
|
|
|
62 A discussion group for the \MH/ user community at large.
|
|
|
63 Appropriate topics include:
|
|
|
64 questions about how to use \MH/,
|
|
|
65 tips on \MH/ usage,
|
|
|
66 and exchange of \MH/ shell scripts.
|
|
|
67 All requests to be added to or deleted from this list,
|
|
|
68 along with problems, questions and suggestions,
|
|
|
69 should be sent to {\tx MH-Users-Request@UCI}.
|
|
|
70
|
|
|
71 \item{2.} MH-Workers@UCI\hbreak
|
|
|
72 A discussion group for \MH/ maintainers and experts.
|
|
|
73 Appropriate topics include:
|
|
|
74 questions on how to configure \MH/,
|
|
|
75 tips on \MH/ configuration,
|
|
|
76 exchange of \MH/ bug reports (and fixes).
|
|
|
77 All requests to be added to or deleted from this list,
|
|
|
78 along with problems, questions and suggestions,
|
|
|
79 should be sent to {\tx MH-Workers-Request@UCI}.
|
|
|
80 \smallskip}
|
|
|
81 \noindent
|
|
|
82 The \eg{UCI} host is also known as \eg{ucivax},
|
|
|
83 so a possible \UUCP/ path might be {\tx $\tdots$!ucbvax!ucivax!bug-mh}.
|
|
|
84
|
|
|
85 Updates to \MH/ are published on the {\tx MH-Workers} list
|
|
|
86 in the form of context diffs,
|
|
|
87 and the appropriate distribution images are updated as well.
