I've just finished ftp-ing MacWrite II, PostScript, and Word 4.0 versions of Ron's wonderful _Cloudbusting_ to the /incoming area of wiretap.Spies.com. Presumably someone managing that site or seeing this message will move them to the appropriate area in /pub, and post the new location. Maybe this is normal, but it seems very weird to me that if you ftp to that site, and cd to incoming, you can *not* see any subdirectories. However, if you know it's there, and cd to the next lower subdirectory, you *can* see the rest of the hierarchy. Sheesh. Anywho, if the files don't get moved in a timely fashion to the /pub area, or you just can't wait, the full pathnames are: /incoming/Cloudbusting/macwrite2/* /incoming/Cloudbusting/postscript/* and /incoming/Cloudbusting/word4/* for the corresponding sets of files. Capitalization counts. In addition, there is a plain text version of Ron's "clouddoc" file as /incoming/Cloudbusting/clouddoc.txt All of the MacWrite II and Word 4.0 files have been BinHex-ed. So you can transfer them in ascii mode to your local unix machine and to your Mac. You will then have to run BinHex on them to produce the files readable by the corresponding word processor. The PostScript files may require binary transfer mode (not sure). You should be able to print them (lpr -Pyourprinter filename) to any PostScript printer directly from Unix if your net is set up that way. You can also bring them to a Mac (or presumably a PC) and use the "LaserWriter Utility" program supplied with system upgrades (but not automatically installed - you have to look through the floppies!) for the Mac (don't know how you handle PostScript files on PC's) to download them to your printer directly. As someone else posted recently, Ron's original Word Perfect files don't seem to be on the server anymore. I'm pretty sure I saw them there once before when I was poking around. Don't know what happened. Any ideas, Herr Wisner? -- -larryy@apple.com "Shi Nou Kou Sho Inu Neko Programmer" - Takada Naoki
