Welcome to the sunacm ftp archive. This service is provided by the Swansea University ACM Student Chapter with assistance from members of SUCS, the Computer Society at Swansea. The sunacm ftp daemon will automatically tar and compress a directory if you get it with the suffix ".tar.Z". Files are grouped in one of three places: pub/acm - documents from ACM pub/sucs - contributions from the Computer Society pub/misc - miscellaneous; anything else There are no writable directories. Everything ending '.z' is compressed with gzip, the FSF replacement for compress. This is a faster and more importantly more effective compression tool. Gzip is available from prep.ai.mit.edu, and all other good FSF source archives. Binaries and maintenance agreements for some machines are available in the US from Cygnus.
