10/9    The networks in Soda Hall that the CSUA computers are connected to
        will be down at times between 6am & 8am Sunday morning October 13.

10/5    BBQ 10/12 3pm to whenever at the 4th floor balcony. Everyone &
        Anyone invited.  Pot luck so bring real food or expect to chip in $.
        There be sports and etc so come!  (No english grammar skills required!)

10/9    happy bday to the dearly departed

10/9    Up there it says: Pot luck so bring real food or expect to chip in $.
        Why should people have to pay when the CSUA has tons of money?  I'm
        sure you could get smurf to send up money in time...
        \_ are you joking?  i think it would be silly for CSUA to use the
           $ it has to pay for PHREEPHOOD for members when it could use the $
           on things like hardware and buying books for the library --oj

10/8    I need help in writing Chinese characters using Big5 encoding.  I
        know it's complicated, that's why I need somebody to show me in
        person how to use cxterm, mule, etc.  You will be compensated.
        Thanks.  -tawei

10/8  I want to transfer about 5 megs off of soda which will both
        clear up space around here, and make my life easier.  Problem is,
        I can't seem to be able to transfer using sz or kermit.  Ftp is not
        an option, anyone have any ideas?
          \_ get a fucking PPP connection you moron
         \_ Who's the idiot coward who wrote this?  I am using
          \_ Probably Supreme Asshole Holub
          TeraTerm 1.3, which can use either a TCP/IP
          or Serial connection.  It also has built in
          Zmodem and Kermit across a PPP connection.
          I have tried uploading a 600 kb .wav file
          to my soda account with ZModem last week, and it
          worked. Lots of
          features yet very streamlined.  Other programs
          are either too large or if too small, are too
          bareboned.  You can find TeraTerm
          on the tucows web site.  --pcjr
        \_ You might try going to one of the computer labs on campus
           and ftping it there...  It wouldn't take very long.
         \_ 1.) I'm about 1,000 miles from campus at the moment, so
            going to lab is not really an option.  2.) I've had no
            problem sending files TO soda using rz, that works just
             fine, it's when I type "sz *" on soda that things choke.
         \_ Why don't you just zip the files into one large file and
            then ftp it over, that way you won't have to hit 'y' for
            1,000 files?
        /
        \_ i believe he said FTP was not an option at all.  but if you do ftp,
           try ftp -i, and then at ftp prompt, type mget.
           this will get multiple files without prompting yes/no.  then
           you can bypass the whole zip process. (whew, my first
           non-question contribution to the motd!)

         \_ Is there a zip program on soda compatible with a DOS pkzip?
                \_ zip and unzip are compatible...  There aren't man pages
                   but if you just type 'zip' or 'unzip', their respective
                   helps show up. (Also, as an aside, tar and gzip are
                   available for DOS.)
        \_ last i knew ftp was broken on soda both IN AND OUT.. in which
           case ftp would not be an option at all. --shac
         \_ I can use ftp just fine to and from soda. why isn't
            ftp an option?
        \_ 'sz -w 2048' works better for me than just 'sz'. -- jsjacob
            \_ You know, I sympathize with your problem and all, but please
               either sign your post or mail help@csua. Think about the fact
               that 1000/day read this motd. -ausman
         \_ I second the motion.

10/8    Anyone know of any shareware/freeware MPEG players that don't
        have a 1 Meg before registering restriction?
        \_ Get XingMPEG player.  URL: http://www.xingtech.com
        \_ If this is for some odd Un*x or other, you shouldn't have
           to ask.  If this is a Mac/WinBlows thing, you don't want
           to ask.
        \_ Silly me, I meant for Win '95.  I know, I know, but I must use it.
        \_ I use VMPEG... It works nicely...
           ftp://papa.indstate.edu/winsock-l/Windows95/Graphics/vmpeg17.exe
        \_ The Apple Quicktime player plays both MPEG and Quicktime movies.
         \_ I d/l'd the Apple Quicktime player and it plays .mov files real
            well, but when I try to play my .mpg's the thing doesn't work,
              even though it CLAIMS that it can handle MPEG's.
         \_ Thanks for the suggestion, vmpeg works perfectly.

10/8    Are you driving to LA this weekend?  I would like a ride,
        and will pay for your gas.  -- hh@xcf.berkeley.edu

        Biosciences Division of L&S available.  See /usr/local/csua/jobs/LSCR.

10/7    Does anybody know anything about the Berkeley Jazz Festival
