Canadian Microelectronics Corporation. Note that some access
restrictions apply.

Equipment Loan Application Documents
------------------------------------

The following summarizes the documents available in CMC's Equipment
Loan Document Archive. The archive is available by anonymous ftp as
follows:

	% ftp venus.ic.cmc.ca
    or
	% ftp 130.15.52.233

	% << logon as anonymous >>
	% account your_user_id
	% cd pub/elc9302
	% get README.ftp
	% binary
	% cd data
	% get file_name

Notes:
	- you must be accessing the archive from a member university or
	  you will not be permitted into to the data sub-directory. 
	- the account command is necessary for our accounting purposes
	- many of the files are in binary format (for them, at least,
	  binary mode is required).
	
The documents are archived in the "data" sub-directory by their
respective attachment numbers to the equipment loan application. The
following modifiers are used to form the actual file names:

	_en	an english version
	_fr	a french version
	.w51	Wordperfect 5.1 format
	.ps	Adobe Postscript format for an Apple LaserWriter I
		(should print on all postscript printers)
		To print a file you type:
		    % lpr a01_en.ps
	.sc	"spreadsheet calculator" format.  (sc is a spreadsheet
		calculator for Unix by James Gosling et al)
	.wk3	Lotus V3 spreadsheet format
	.Z	the file is in compressed format. On a Unix system
		you uncompress it as follows:
			% uncompress file.Z
		You will be left with "file" in uncompressed format. 
		    eg.
			% uncompress options_fr.ps.Z
		    produces the file:
			options_fr.ps
