The Homebrew Digest Archives - To subscribe to the Hombrew Digest, send your requests to homebrew-request@hpfcmr.hp.com. Most files are compressed or ziped so don't forget to set binary mode before transfering files via ftp. Files with a .Z suffix are compressed with the "compress" program. If you request a .Z suffixed file by leaving off the .Z then Sierra's ftp daemon will uncompress the file before transfering. Otherwise, to uncompress the .Z files, you'll need the "uncompress" program. If your system does not have "uncompress" there is a version available in pub/sources as 'compress.shar' (or via listserv by "get sources compress.shar"). Files with a .zip suffix are "zipped" with PKZIP or something compatible. You'll need the equivalent to "unzip" them. Files with the .uu suffix are uuencoded binary files. They are usually files that have been compressed or zipped (e.g. *.Z.uu, or *.zip.uu). You will need the 'uudecode' program, available in pub/sources as 'uudecode.c' (or via listserv by "get sources uudecode.c"). Files with the .ps extension are PostScript files. Listserver users should read the comments at the end of this file.

All but a few files may be retreived via mail by sending a request to the listserver at listserv@Sierra.Stanford.EDU (image files are not presently accessable). The directory structure appears to be very different for listserver access so one should use the INDEX command to get a copy of the names of available files. The listserver only supports the HELP, INDEX, and GET commands and should be used in the following manner. (NOTE: This software is VERY picky.) To get a list of the files available from the Homebrew archives send: INDEX HOMEBREW To get files from the archives you need to send one or more lines like the following: GET HOMEBREW filename where "filename" is one of the files listed by the INDEX HOMEBREW command.
