Ethan Miller's FTP archive (via HTTP)

Welcome to my FTP archive. You're the visitor to this page (since 1 May 1996); please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.

General instructions

Many of the files in this directory are gzipped tar files (.tgz). These are standard tar archives that have been compressed using gzip, a publically-available compression package that replaces compress. You can obtain copies of the gzip source via anonymous ftp from the following locations: Gzip has two advantages over compress: it's capable of compressing files smaller, and it's totally free with no (patent-related) strings attached.

Another problem that may occur when you get these files via http is that some browsers don't automagically save them to a file in your directory. If your browser simply reads the file without asking for a place to save, you must save the screen yourself. I know this works in Netscape (I've tried it); a similar feature should exist in other browsers.

Directory contents

I/O benchmarks (directory)
A collection of several I/O benchmark programs. Download as many (or as few) as you like. Suggestions and contributions are welcome!
template693.mif
FrameMaker template for CMSC 693 reports at UMBC (MIF format).
template693.fm4
FrameMaker template for CMSC 693 reports at UMBC (maker format).
bibframe.tgz
gzipped tar file containing the latest BibFrame bibliography package for FrameMaker. This package requires perl v4 or higher and BibTeX (both available elsewhere). It has been tested for FrameMaker version 4, but will probably work for FrameMaker version 3 (with some effort). It should also work for FrameMaker version 5 (again, it hasn't been tested by me because we haven't gotten Frame 5 here yet). This link will always point to the latest version of bibframe. You may also want to retrieve bibframe using gopher.
option.tgz
C files to parse command line options. This code is originally from the Sprite project at UC Berkeley. I've modified it to add a few additional features.
