Since the season is nearly upon us, this question may have only frantic repercussions: but I will give voice to my question anyway. I have heard tell of a Yiddish hagadda with, presumably, socialist overtones--does anyone know how I can procure a copy? I would appreciate any suggestions or historical contexts. Sarah Stein 2)---------------------------------------------------- Date: Thur Mar 11 From: nmiller@dot.trincoll.edu Subject: FTP at last! Mendele is happy to announce that subscribers can now retrieve back numbers. The procedure is via "anonymous ftp" which sounds daunting but isn't. Here is how it's done: 1. Begin by typing "ftp ftp.mendele.trincoll.edu" 2. At the request for Name, type "anonymous" 3. At the request for Password, type your username 4. At the message "Guest login ok, access restrictions apply", type "cd /pub/mendele". 5. The message "CWD command successful" means that you can now retrieve any file you like. a. For a list of the files, type "dir". b. To download a file to your computer, type "get filename" 6. When finished, type "bye". Below is an actual log of an ftp session. In order to make it easier to follow, the user's input is shown in upper-case. This is for illustrative purposes only; in actual use, stay with lower-case. ***************************************** >FTP FTP.MENDELE.TRINCOLL.EDU Wollongong FTP User Process (Version 5.2-05) Trying 157.252.16.7 ...
