Fall 1997 29 July 1997 Homework 0

Assigned: Thursday, 4 Sep

Introduction

The sole purpose of this assignment is to make sure that you can successfully submit homeworks. There are a number of ways for the submit command to fail. We want to work out whatever problems may exist with your use of the command before you need to submit ``real'' assignments. This assignment is entirely voluntary on your part. You will not gain or lose credit. However, if you have a problem submitting a ``real'' assignment, and you have not done Homework 0, you will receive no mercy on the ``real'' assignment. Please do this assignment. Do it now.

The Assignment

1. Choose or create a small ASCII file. It can be any ASCII file, just don't choose one that's very large. You can create an empty file using the Unix touch command. For example, to create an empty file named foo, enter
   touch foo
2. Submit the file by using the submit command for hw0. If your file is named foo, enter
   submit cs202_01 hw0 foo

If you get a message indicating that the file was submitted successfully, smile -- all is well. If you get a message indicating a problem, let me know by email, stating the nature of the problem. Do not smile -- you have not yet completed Homework 0.
