FTP INFORMATION ++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++ FTP Information +++++++++++++++++++++ We *DO NOT* maintain archives at NIU, and other than back issues of CuD, we cannot send out archival material. Back issues can be obtained from two ftp sites: 1. WIDENER: The *CORRECT* Widener ftp address is: %% ftp cs.widener.edu or%% ftp 192.55.239.132 On decompressing Zfiles: The archivist just put up a 16-bit uncompress utility for DOS that'll do the trick. Get pub/dos/uncom.exe first; then to uncompress anything with the .Z extension, do it thusly: C:\XFER >UNCOM FOO.Z > FOO (it'll appear on the standard output). He hasn't played with it much yet, so it may have a -o option or something to it. The site is available from 6 pm to 6 am. 2. BLAKE: The address and archive list is available to subscribers only. All files are Zfiles, and if you are using a unix system, use the "decompress +filename+" command. +++++++ We have added additional papers and other material to the archives. We are ESPECIALLY INTERESTED in receiving papers from lawyers or law students on CU-related topics. This can include summaries of recent law, bibliographies, or other material that would be of interest. We have added the computer crime statutes from Illinois (16D-3) and California (502, 502.7), the ECPA, and other material. We hope to compile a strong set of law-related articles and laws, so if you come across any related files, pass them along. *************************************************************************** >> END OF THIS FILE << ***************************************************************************
