1.1 Gopher access from a desktop to an email account

This file contains Examples of User Sessions with CELIA. The
communications package Procomm is used on a local MS-DOS PC desktop
computer to dial into the user's account on a VAX machine on the
university network which is linked to Internet via Aarnet. Using the
desktop computer as terminal, a gopher-client at the user's university
was used to access CELIA for the purpose of both submitting and
retrieving files. Secondly, FTP was used to submit and retrieve files.
Please remember that local conditions vary greatly depending on how your
systems manager has set up your personal account and the network from
which you are accessing CELIA. The management of CELIA cannot
troubleshoot or answer questions about access. USERS HAD BEST ASK THEIR
LOCAL SYSTEMS OR NETWORK MANAGERS IF THEY HAVE DIFFICULTIES.

1.2 Downloading files from host to local computer

Users will have to download files from their host computer to their
local desktop Mac or PC computer if their desktop is not configured as
a node on network with Internet access. Two common methods are to use
FTP from a desktop computer connected by optic fibre cable (ethernet or
appletalk) to copy files from a host computer their desktop or to use a
communications program like kermit to download files from the host
computer to the local computer via a modem. The first method is fast,
and the second fairly slow. Once the file is on their desktop computer
the user then has to decompress the files.

1.3.1 Decompressing Mac files

Mac files are binhexed, self-extracting archives. If you are using Fetch
or TurboGopher, these will automatically un-binhex the files. Otherwise,
you will need to use Stuffit Expander, Binhex 4.0, CompactPro, or a
similar decompression tool as the first step to using the programs. All
the files are self-extracting, which means that double-clicking on a
file will cause it to automatically uncompress in the location you
select.

1.3.2 Decompressing MS-DOS files

PC files, compressed with pkzip 1.1 and made self-decompressing with
zip2exe.exe 1.1, will automatically decompress when run. A good first
step is to download and read the 00index file first to get information
about what's in the archive.

2.0 Using a gopher client to access CELIA

A line _____ has been drawn below between the various screens users will
see when they use a gopher-client.

2.1 Using a local gopher client and gopher server
_______________________________________________________________________

Notice the User's Mainframe account contains the file teaching.txt
which will be used as an example to submit files to CELIA. The User's
directory also does not contain the files flashcards.hqx, cloze1.exe
and vocab.idx which will be retrieved from CELIA
during these example sessions:
