Externally, CMU Common Lisp is only available via anonymous FTP. We
don't have the manpower to make tapes. These are our distribution
machines:
lisp-rt1.slisp.cs.cmu.edu (128.2.217.9)
lisp-rt2.slisp.cs.cmu.edu (128.2.217.10)
Log in with the user `'anonymous and `'username@host as
password (i.e. your EMAIL address.) When you log in, the current
directory should be set to the CMU Common Lisp release area. If you have any
trouble with FTP access, please send mail to `'slisp@cs.cmu.edu.
The release area holds compressed tar files with names of the form:
version-machine_os.tar.Z
FTP compressed tar archives in binary mode. To extract, `'cd to
the directory that is to be the root of the tree, then type:
uncompress <file.tar.Z | tar xf - .
The resulting tree is about 23 megabytes. For installation
directions, see the section ``site initialization'' in README file at
the root of the tree.
If poor network connections make it difficult to transfer a 10 meg
file, the release is also available split into five parts, with the
suffix `'.0 to `'.4. To extract from multiple files, use:
cat file.tar.Z.* | uncompress | tar xf - .
The release area also contains source distributions and other binary
distributions. A listing of the current contents of the release area
is in `'FILES. Major release announcements will be made tocomp.lang.lisp until there is enough volume to warrant acomp.lang.lisp.cmu.
