Detailed Instructions for viewing and printing Lecture Notes

NOTE: to view postscript files on prime/p1/p2 or the newer bin00001, etc. machines, you can use the ggv program. After uncompressing the lecture, you can simply type:

bin00001% ggv lect01.4ps
And you can view the lectures on any solaris machine. To get them to appear rightside up, use the view menu and choose seaside.

First logon or telnet to a prime/p1/p2 client (e.g. odd13). Then you should do the following:

odd13.cs.ohiou.edu% cp /home/cs404/lectures/lect01.4ps.gz .
odd13.cs.ohiou.edu% gunzip lect01.4ps.gz
odd13.cs.ohiou.edu% lp lect01.4ps
request id is 6
odd13.cs.ohiou.edu% 

The results will appear on the printer in room 426 by default. It is possible to print to other printers, please ask someone familiar with Unix for help. Repeat the above steps altering the lect01 to lect02, lect03, ... to print the other lectures notes.

To see what files are available use the ls (listing) command of Unix.

odd13.cs.ohiou.edu% ls /home/cs404/lectures
lect01.4ps.gz	lect02.4ps.gz	lect03.4ps.gz	lect04.4ps.gz	syl.ps.gz
odd13.cs.ohiou.edu% 

Note: you should feel free to remove the files from your account after printing them out to save disk space. To do this simply type:

odd13.cs.ohiou.edu% rm lect01.4ps
odd13.cs.ohiou.edu% 
And the file is gone.
