Asalamulaikum,
There has been some interest in accessing Caltech's ftp site, but
some of you have found it hard to do. This is a short primer on the
site and how to access it.
C A L T E C H M U S L I M S S T U D E N T S
=================================================
Dated: January 30, 1994
Caltech Muslim Students Group offers number of files on its
ftp server. These files have been extracted from different
forums and are in compressed (in UNIX) format.
Asim Mughal ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Asif Khalak ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
____________________________________________________________________________
Primer on getting documents from the Caltech MSA ftp site.
1. To access the site, you should log into a UNIX account. If you
don't have one, get one. The reason that UNIX is preferred is that it
is currently the operating system of choice in academic spheres which
are capable of using ftp. The other reason that UNIX is used is that
efficient data compression routines are standardly packaged with UNIX,
and we can thus pack more information into the limited space that we
are allocated for the site.
2. The next step is to run ftp (stands for File Transfer
Protocol). The information is stored at punisher.caltech.edu (this is
called the location of the site). To do this type the following at
the command prompt:
% ftp punisher.caltech.edu
Alternatively, you can start up ftp and go to punisher within it, like
this:
% ftp
ftp> open punisher.caltech.edu
Note that the "ftp>" is a prompt provided by the ftp program.
3. At this point ftp will ask for a name. The information is public,
so you'll want to use anonymous ftp. That is, at the name prompt,
type anonymous.
Name: anonymous
4. Then ftp will say it's okay, but you need to send identification as
the password. This means that when it asks you for a password, you
type in your e-mail address.
Password: <your address> (for example: [EMAIL PROTECTED])
5. Now you are in the Caltech system. The next step is to get to the
Muslim Student's association directory. The full name of the
directory is /home/ftp/pub/calmsa. However, you are placed into the
/home/ftp directory when you get in. To get to the msa directory,
then, type:
ftp> cd pub/calmsa
Note, the on-line Quran translation is located in a subdirectory of
the calmsa directory named Quran. To get into it, use "cd Quran".
Also, you can use the command "ls", as in UNIX, to list the files in
the directory that you are currently in.
6. At this point you can retrieve files. Things go more quickly if
you are in binary mode. Thus, you tell ftp,
ftp> mode bin
7. To get a file, you simply use the command get. For example,
ftp> get thefileIwant.Z
A list of files with brief descriptions is located in the file README.
It is NOT compressed, so you can simply read it.
8. Notice that the file from get has a .Z extension. This is because
it is compressed. To uncompress it, you need to get out of ftp. The
command is "bye". At the command line, the command to uncompress,
surprisingly enough, is "uncompress"
ftp> bye
% uncompress thefileIwant
9. Now you can print the file, more it, whatever...

Subject: 12) Format of IINN Newsletters/Digests
Assalamo Alaykum: (Greetings)
Due to our increased contributor resources and automated generation of
Newsletter, you are experiencing increased volume in our Newsletters.
Under these circumstances, you might wish to read portions of our
Newsletters. This communique is to help you in doing so.
First of all, let me explain the order in which the Newsletter will
always be prepared. Following the header, there might be a short special
Greetings. This will be followed by the `Contents' section. This section
contains all the items that are to appear after it. They appear in order
as following:
1. Quran
2. Hadith
3. Editorial
4. News
5. Articles
6. Announcements
7. Letters to the Editor
All of them might not neccessarily appear in every issue. However, these
sections will be marked by the above title and followed by dots `.' .
All the items that appear in the `Contents' section will be preceded by
exactly a line as appeared in the `Contents' section. This gives a very
important edge to the reader. The reader may chose the entire line as it
appears in the `Contents' section or even a part of it, as a pattern to
search in the rest of the message. Since the item is preceeded by an
exactly same line, the pattern search should find it. This will provide
the reader with selective reading ability.
Examples on different platforms are provided below:
Unix:
____
Once you are in the Unix mail facility, the default pager is
more (1). You can define other pagers like less (1) using the
PAGER variable while in mail utility or in ~/.mailrc file.
Please see the following for more information:
more (1), less (1), mail (1)
However, once you have started reading the Newsletter, you can
page down to the `Contents' section. Select the article that you
like. Now search for it by using the slash `/' command in `more'
or `less' followed by the string that you want to search for. It
will, of course be more convenient if you have a mouse to this
for you.
Sunview:
_______
Using the mailtool Sun utility makes it very easy for this
purpose. Select a line by quickly clicking with the left button
three times. You can also click the line with clicking with left
button at the beginning of the line and middle button at the end
of the line. Now press the right button anywhere in the window
Newsletter is displayed. This will display a menu. Move the
pointer to the Fourth sub-menu: `Find' and keep moving it to the
arrow at right. This will give you another menu.The second entry
in this new menu is `Find Selection'. Take the pointer to this
entry and release the right mouse button. It will take you to
that particular article.
You are welcome to add another platform to this list. This might help
other Muslimeen and Muslimaat.
The formatting software, Nebula, was written by IINN staff.
Jazakumullaho Khairan Katheeran!

1. The Islamic calendar is lunar and depends on the actual sightings of
the new moon. Therefore the actual dates may differ by a day or two. The
lunar year is about 354 days long. Days begin at sunset.
2. 'A.H.' stands for 'After Hijrah.' The Hijri calendar began with the
migration of Prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings be on him) from
Makkah to Madinah.
3. Ramadan is the nineth month of the Islamic calendar. It is the month
of daily fasting from dawn to sunset.
4. Eidul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and is a major holiday for all
Muslims.
5. Hajj is the yearly pilgrimage to Makkah. It falls in the twelveth
month of the Islamic calendar. Each year about three million Muslims go
to Saudi Arabia for Hajj.
6. Eidul-Adha is on the 10th day of the 12th Islamic month. It is the
second major holiday. It is a three-day holiday. Muslims all over the
world hold special prayers and sacrifice animals to commemorate the
trial of Abraham in which he was asked to sacrifice his only son Ishmael
for the sake of God.
7. 'Mawlud Al-Nabi' stands for the Birthday of Prophet Muhammad.
