Objectives

• To make sure you know how to submit files using the submit program
• To make sure that the course staff has made an area available to each of you to hold your project files

You will be submitting all of your project code using the OIT submit program. This project tests that the submit system is ready to accept your project code.

In your GL account use your favorite editor (e.g. vi, (x)emacs, or use notepad on your laptop, then transfer the file to your GL account) to create a short plain text file (NOT an MS Word .doc file) named "proj0.txt".

In that file, tell us a little about yourself, such as

1. Your name
2. Your major
3. Your programming experience (including languages used)
4. Why you're taking this course
5. What grade do you expect to earn
6. Anything else you'd like us to know (please, nothing too personal)

When you are finished editting your file, issue the following command at the Linux prompt

submit cs202 Proj0 proj0.txt

The submit command has four parts: the word submit, followed by the class name (cs202), followed by the name of the project (note the uppercase P), followed by the name of the file(s) to be submitted.

After entering these commands, you should get a confirmation that submit worked okay. Specifically, the confirmation will say:

Submitting proj0.txt...OK

If not, send an e-mail to Mr. Frey about the problem. In the e-mail, list the section of CMSC 202 in which you are enrolled. Please cut and paste the command you typed and the error message that was displayed into your message.

You can check your submission by entering submitls cs202 Proj0
You should see the name of the file that you just submitted -- in this case, proj0.txt

Grading

Although this project carries no points and does not count toward your grade, you must do this project. If you do not do the project, you will get no mercy if you cannot submit future projects.
