This file contains a description of how to access the online files in the ARTEWG-INFO directory. (Ada IC point of contact: Gil Austin) Ada Runtime Environment Working Group (ARTEWG) Files Access ----------------------------------------------------------- The contact for the ARTEWG online is ARTSUPPORT@Ada20 The ARTEWG-Info directory on the Ada20 computer is available to authorized DDN users only. The directory is resident on the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute, System F (USC-ISIF), whose alias is Ada20, and is accessible via the Defense Data Network (DDN). The DDN is a collection of approximately eighty different computer networks representing DoD facilities, research centers and academia throughout the free world. All of the networks are packet-switching systems with interconnections at various locations. Access to the DDN is controlled by the Department of Defense. To obtain access to the DDN it is first necessary to have a computer directory or access to a directory on one of the several thousand host computers comprising the system. The AJPO maintains two hosts at the ISI facility in California: the Ada20 and the Adavax. Access to these systems is controlled by the AJPO and is limited to those individuals providing a significant level of support to the Ada effort. Once access is obtained to one of these systems or to any other DDN host, the system administrator will provide directory and password information to the user. The following is the procedure for making a connection to the ARTEWG-Info directory from a DDN host. For Ada20 Users: 1. Log into your directory on Ada20. 2. Type "Type Files.Hlp" for a listing of all help files in the ARTEWG-Info directory. 3. To View one of the files from this listing, type "Type Filename.Ext" where 'Filename' is the name of a file in the listing. 4. To Copy one of the files from this listing to a local directory, type "Copy Filename.Ext Fileb.Ext" where 'Filename' is the name of a file in the listing and Fileb.Ext is the new local file name. For users of other DDN computers supporting the FTP program: 1. From a directory on the other machine, invoke FTP. 2. Establish a connection to the Ada20. 3. When the 'Connection Opened' message is displayed; login by typing "Log Anonymous Username" where 'Username' is the user login name on the other machine. 4. When the 'User Logged in' message appears, type "Get Files.Hlp Fileb.Ext" where Fileb.Ext is the local filename to write. 5. To read a desired file(?), step repeated substituting the new filename for 'Files'.
