--------ACCESS TO THE SUSANNE CORPUS VIA THE INTERNET--------


The procedure is as follows:

>From a machine on the Internet, type either:

       ftp black.ox.ac.uk

or, since the Archive is not yet in many official name tables:

       ftp 129.67.1.165

When connected, you will be prompted for an account name, to which
you should respond:

       ftp

or:

       anonymous

You will be asked to supply a password, in response to which you should type
your e-mail address.  After this is accepted, your first command should
be to move to the directory containing the Text Archive files, by typing:

       cd ota

To see a list of the files and directories currently available, type:

       ls

All files relating to the SUSANNE Corpus are kept in the directory "susanne",
so your next command should be:

       cd susanne

Apart from the README file which you are currently reading, this directory
contains two files, comprising the SUSANNE Corpus compressed (in order to
reduce transfer time) in alternative formats suitable respectively for
Unix users and for users who have access only to a PC.  To retrieve a copy
of the corpus, if you are a Unix user, type:

       get susanne.tar.Z

Having successfully transferred a copy of "susanne.tar.Z" to your home system,
get the material into a usable state by the successive commands:

       uncompress susanne.tar.Z

and:

       tar -xf susanne.tar

If you are not a Unix user, you need to retrieve the other version of the
Corpus, which will be uncompressed using the PKUNZIP software on an IBM-PC.
First, set ftp transfer mode to binary by typing the command:

       bin

at the ftp prompt.  Then retrieve the appropriate version of the Corpus by
typing:

       get susanne.zip

Having transferred a copy of the Corpus to your home machine, uncompress it
with the command:

       pkunzip -x susanne.zip

In either case (whether you have followed the Unix or the non-Unix instructions)
you should now have the Corpus split up into its 65 files, one of which,
"SUSANNE.doc", is a text file describing the format and contents of the
64 data files.

To log out of the ftp connexion, type:

       bye
