LCEN apologizes

[Joanna and Richard Robin]

Well, our apologies, folks! We tried to simply the process
of making LCEN available to more people, and we only ended
up making things more complicated. So we're going back to
doing things the old way.

LCEN exercises will be available in three formats on two ftp
sites.

The formats are:

xxxxxxxx.WRI for Windows Write users. Treat these as binary
files. At the ftp site give the command "bin" or "i",
whichever works for you, before getting your file. When
downloading to your own PC make sure the setting is binary.

xxxxxxxx.WP5 for WordPerfect DOS users. Again binary
downloads everywhere. See the paragraph above.

xxxxxxxx.MAC for Macintosh users *or* for Windows users with
Word, WordPerfect, or any other program capable of reading
RTF files. Treat these as ASCII or "text" files. Use NO
binary downloads.

Russian DOS and Windows users! You cannot use the Mac files,
even if you can read RTF documents. The Cyrillic will be all
messed up. You'll have to deal with binary downloads.

The anonymous FTP sites are:

gwuvm.gwu.edu
(no subdirectories)

ftp.dartmouth.edu
You must change directories. Give the command:
cd pub/IALL-LLTI/LCEN

More detailed instructions are available at our World Wide
Web site:

I apologize for all the inconvenience people have had so far
with this month's exercises. The most trouble has come from
the Russian exercises, which have already been re-posted. We
will eventually re-post the other exercises already up
there.

Sincerely, Rich Robin
