[17] How to join a mailing list

A: Most often, you have to send mail to the listserver at the site where
   the mailing list resides, and put "subscribe   in the
   body of the mail message. The underlined text is what you have to type in.

      Example:

      Mail listserv@tamvm1.tamu.edu
      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

      Subject: some text here
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      subscribe LINGUIST Dragomir R. Radev
      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      .
      ^

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 [18] How to obtain files by anonymous ftp

A: There are many ways. The most common way, however, is using a local ftp 
   client. 
   Suppose you want to get the file /pub/editors/webster.tar.Z
   from ftp.uu.net

   Here is a sample session. You type in whatever is underlined here.

      $ftp ftp.uu.net
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      Connected to ftp.uu.net.
      220 ftp.UU.NET FTP server Thu Apr 14 15:45:10 EDT 1994) ready.
      Name (ftp.uu.net:radev): anonymous
                               ^^^^^^^^^

      331 Password required for  anonymous.
      Password: radev@cs.columbia.edu
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  (put your email address here)

      230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
      ftp> cd pub/editors
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      ftp> binary
           ^^^^^^
      ftp> get webster.tar.Z
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      200 PORT command successful.
      150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for webster.tar.Z (148579 bytes).
      226 Transfer complete.
      local: webster.tar.Z remote: webster.tar.Z

[19] FTP repositories

(This section is out of date).

19.1. Consortium for Lexical Research (CRL)

  The Consortium for Lexical Research is designed to serve as a
  repository for software and resources of importance to the natural
  language processing research community. Sharable resources, and the
  task of centralizing lexical data and tools, are of foremost
  concern in lexical research and computational linguistics It
  is our objective to help alleviate the repeated recreation of
  basic software tools, and to assist in making essential data
  sources more generally available.

  CLR maintains a public ftp site, and a separate library of
  materials only for members of CLR. Currently CLR has about 60
  members, mostly academic institutions, and almost every major
  natural language processing center in the U.S. belongs. Access to
  the members-only materials is strictly regulated by password and
  userid.

  Our catalog of current holdings is available by using anonymous
  ftp to clr.nmsu.edu

19.2. Oxford Text Archive (OTA)

  ftp ota.ox.ac.uk
  ota/textarchive.list         the current catalogue

  There are two classes of texts available from this FTP server:

  (a) texts which are in TEI format and which we can make freely
      available (these all appear as category P texts in the shortlist)

  (b) texts which are available only under our standard conditions of
      use, (these all appear as category U or A in the shortlist)

19.3. University of Michigan Linguistics Archive (UMICH)

  ftp linguistics.archive.umich.edu
  /linguistics
  moderator: John Lawler (jlawler@umich.edu)

    Culy probably deserves co-credit w/Shieber for the non-CFness of
    NLs (see Pullum, "Footloose and Context-Free"). Although Pullum
    says there was an even earlier argument given in Dutch (don't have
    the article, but it's Pullum's "Nobody goes around at LSA meetings
    offering odds").]
