PHY183
This home page contains some pointers of interest to students taking
PHY183 during
Fall Semester, 1995.
First Class software package
This package has been made available on the
MSU P-A anonymous ftp server. These files contain the
client software only, keyed to a server at MSU. After installation, you will need to log in to
the server using the username and password you were given in class. (So, there's little point
to non-classmembers downloading these.)
- Mac version (about 414 KB)
Requires text-mode download and then BinHex 4.0 or compatible program to decode before running.
- MS-Windows version self-extracting (about 770 KB)
Requires binary-mode download, but no special decoding software:
- create a temporary sub-directory, put this file in it, and run it;
then run SETUP.EXE from the set of files which are unpacked.
OR
- run the program with the "-d" flag (i.e., select Run... from the File menu of
MS-Windows and type
\dirname\fcwin26.exe -d, or do the equivalent action from MS-DOS);
this will cause it to create and fill its own installation subdirectory, from which you then run
SETUP.EXE.
SETUP.EXE must be run from within MS-Windows. The most straightforward
way is to use the File Manager to view the installation directory and then double-click
on the SETUP.EXE entry), but the Run... item from the File menu may also be used.
- MS-Windows version ZIP archive (about 750 KB)
Requires binary-mode download and UNZIP or PKUNZIP software to unpack the installation directory;
- Run
SETUP.EXE from the set of files which are unpacked.
SETUP.EXE must be run from within MS-Windows. The most straightforward
way is to use the File Manager to view the installation directory and then double-click
on the SETUP.EXE entry), but the Run... item from the File menu may also be used.
Instructions on running the software and logging into the server will be made available in class.
