COMPUTER USAGE

     Each student is expected to get their own username on some
  computer or have access to some PC compatible machine.  If a student
  has a username from work or another course it can be used. ( You will
  want to create a sub directory for this course. ) 

     The phone number, 765-0020, is for any baud dial up. If you use
  this dialup, do the following:  Dial number, it will answer with a
  different dial tone.  Dial 3#, after it connects, type  SERVER,
  then some  <cr>'s  may be needed, then  C <node>, e.g. C SIGPRO.
  This should get username:  prompt, continue with sign on.
  (In Kermit or autodialer, use ATDT7650020,,,,,3# as the dial
  sequence. Sometimes it takes several trys.) To get to the PC
  network, change 3# to 20# and come in using PCAnywhere. You need
  a PC network password to get to a PC via dial in.
  ( Get authorized for 765-0020 from Tim Soucy at 5-1854, 
  to get PCAnywhere, send Ray cc:mail to  horton.ray- )

  You may also use a Unix operating system, The rough equivalent of HELP
  on VMS, DOS or Windows is  man on Unix. e.g.  man ada, man gcc, man gnat,
  man emacs.

  X Windows work stations and X Terminals are scattered around. Look
  for one in your area. 

  If the system you are using will not respond to   gcc -c hello.adb
  assuming you have a source file, hello.adb, then get gnat from
  FTP site  cs.nyu.edu  /pub/gnat  use  dir  to find the version for
  your specific machine.  Log on as  anonymous  and use your E-Mail
  address as your password.  On this system, type the command   binary 
  before typing the command   get , for  files ending in  .gz  or  .zip .

  Disks for some systems are available from the instructor.

  If you have no other machine you can use, contact the instructor for
  an account on the Unix machine  SIGPRO.

  When all else fails, call your instructor Jon Squire x5-3748.
  or, better yet, send mail to  ECLUS::SQUIRE or squire.j.s on cc:Mail
  or squire@eclus.md.essd.northgrum.com or squire@cs.umbc.edu

  gnat uses the gnu gcc compilation system, thus file naming becomes
  important. Ada specifications end with  .ads  , and Ada bodies
  end with  .adb .  To compile a package  pack1  and a main procedure
  proc1, use the following commands:

  DOS Operating System or Windows 95 or NT in DOS window or Unix

  gcc -c pack1.ads
  gcc -c pack1.adb
  gcc -c proc1.adb
  gnatbl proc1.ali
  proc1               on Windows or unix   go32 proc1.exe on DOS
