C⊗;
In response to Al Blue's inquiry, a bibliography of external publications
by A. I. Lab staff members is kept in a file called "PUBS[BIB,DOC]".
In case you would like to get at some of our other files over the
network, I append here an extract from Appendix A of our recent Final Report.


			Public File Areas

People who have access to the ARPA Network are welcome to access our public
files.  The areas of principal interest and their contents are a follows:
  [BIB,DOC] bibliographies of various kinds,
  [AIM,DOC] texts of a few of our A. I. Memos,
  [S,DOC] many of our SAILONs,
  [UP,DOC] working notes (quite informal),
  [P,DOC] "people-oriented" files, including the lab phone directory.

			Network Access

To get into our system from the Network, say "L NET.GUE", which logs
you in as a "network guest".  All commands end with a carriage return.
Our monitor types "." whenever it is
ready to accept a command.  To halt a program that is running, type
<Control>C twice.

If your terminal has both upper and lower case characters, let the monitor
know by saying "TTY FULL".  If you are at a typewriter terminal, you may
also wish to type "TTY FILL", which causes extra carriage returns to be inserted so
that the carriage has time to return to the left margin before the next line
begins.

To see the names of all the files in, say, the
[S,DOC] area (where SAILONs are stored), type "DIR [S,DOC]".  This will
produce a list of files and the dates they were last written.  Among others,
it should list "INTRO.TES", which is an introduction to our timesharing system
(usually obsolescent, alas), written by the programmer whose initials are TES.

To type out the contents of a given file, such as INTRO.TES, say
  TYPE INTRO.TES[S,DOC]
and it will come spewing forth.
To stop the typout, say <Control>C twice and it
will stop after a few lines.  To continue, type "CONT".  If you wish to
examine selected portions of text files, use the SOS editor in read-only
mode, as described in SOS.LES[S,DOC].

To log out when you are done, type
  K <carriage return>

There may be some difficulty with files that employ the full Stanford character
set, which uses some 26 of the ASCII control codes (0 to 37 octal) to
represent special characters.

			 File Transfer

Files can also be transferred to another site using the File Transfer Protocol.
Documentation on our FTP program is located on our disk file in FTP.DCS[UP,DOC].
No passwords or account numbers are needed to access our FTP from the outside.
