In honour of Rain Day (July 29th), I am pleased to announce the release of
version 1.0a8 of the PREP Editor.  The instructions for anonymous ftp
follow.  Most notable in the new release is the support for voice
annotation, we would especially be interested in comments on the playback
interface.

You want version 1.0a8, which is stored in prepva8.sea.hqx 

Enjoy!
Rob

* File /usr/chandhok/public/prep/readme ************************************

This is an archive of the PREP Editor, a collaborative writing environment.
PREP is a Macintosh application, compatible with System 6.0 and higher,
including System 7.

The PREP project is funded by the National Science Foundation and Apple
Computer (ATG/ER).  Our goal is to develop a system that encourages and
facilitates collaboration in writing, without imposing requirements on
connectivity and concurrency.  Therefore, PREP requires no central server,
and is not a synchronous "shared-screen" word processor.  PREP provides a
column based interface where related information is linked across columns.
To some degree, PREP provides an unlimited amount of "virtual margins" to
take notes in.

The latest versions of PREP use the Claris XTND technology (provided) to
make it easy to import documents for annotation in PREP (and export them
afterwards with the annoations stored as footnotes).

PREP is available via anonymous ftp on the internet (those instructions
follow).    If you cannot use ftp, please send mail to
<prep-project@andrew.cmu.edu> and we will forward instructions on how you
can get a physical copy in the mail (for a small fee to cover our expenses).

Please try PREP, and let us know what you think!

* Anonymous ftp instructions ***********************************************

The archives are stored as a "binhex'd self-extracting archive".  It
is available for anonymous ftp via gnome.cs.cmu.edu, and the EXACT
instructions for getting the release package follows:

1) open an anonymous ftp connection to gnome.cs.cmu.edu (128.2.254.185)
   That is, do a "ftp gnome.cs.cmu.edu", and login as "anonymous",
   a password of your userid.

2) As your first ftp command after the login, issue the following:

   cd /usr/chandhok/public/prep

   !!! IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW STEP 2 EXACTLY, YOU WILL GET AN ERROR !!!

3) Next, issue the following command (in ascii mode, BTW), and substitute
   the version number for the ??

   get prepv??.sea.hqx
   
4) On your macintosh, use binhex or Stuffit to un-binhex the file.  
   You will end up with an application, which, when double clicked,
   will unpack itself as (at least) two files:
   
   * The Prep Application
   * The documentation in PREP format

   The unpacking may result in a release folder containing all the files,
   depending on what version you are retrieving.

Please send bugs and comments to prep-project+@andrew.cmu.edu
We will only allow for anonymous ftp access to this application if
we get feedback from people, otherwise it is not worth it to us.
See the About Box of the application for more info.
