Subject:PLUG Source Code Archive

Quite a few people have asked me where the PLUG Source Code Archive is
kept.  Naturally, this is on the FAQ (ahem) which will be updated R.S.N.
However, in the interim, here's the relevant section cut from the proto
FAQ ....

PLUG Source Code Archive
------------------------

The Poplog and Pop Languages User Group (PLUG) maintain an archive of Poplog
source code accessible via anonymous ftp.  Currently, the archive resides at 
HP Labs:
    ftp hplose.hpl.hp.com OR
    ftp 15.255.59.1
The archive itself is held in the file plug.tar.Z and is a compressed, tar
archive.  It should be transfered using BINARY mode and recovered as
follows.
    uncompress < plug.tar.Z | tar xf -

The archive is organised in the same way as $usepop and $poplocal.  The 
instructions for installing it at your own site are provided in README
files.

The old PLUG Archive Server is now obsolete.  It was both troublesome and
expensive to run.  The current system, although having a more restricted
distribution, is capable of dealing with the expanded archive and is much
more convenient to distribute and update.


Hope this helps.

Steve

PS. If anyone has guidelines for FAQ writing I'd be interested in 
    receiving them.
