          IBIS members and onlookers,

          Derrick Duehren has submitted all birds past, present,
          pending, passed and passed away, to the vhdl.org BBS and
          Randy Harr has filed them in the "birds" directory in the
          IBIS area.

          Randy also passes on the following general instructions for
          people to get items off of the vhdl.org machine.

Many reference documents and related information are all available via
the VHDL International Internet Repository. You can access and download the
files in many different ways. Each is described further here.

Email Access:
-------------
There is an FTP archive server which is accessible via email. Send an email
message to archive@vhdl.org. The subject is ignored. If a line in the body
begins with the word "help", then a descriptive file of commands available
is sent. Basically, you communicate with the server through commands in the
body of your mail message. It then responds automatically and immediately
to your request. (Note: immediate is relative to your connection mechanism
to the Internet mail services.) You should always include the command:

path <your_email_address>

in every request to assure the server knows where to send the message back
to (otherwise it has to guess from the return path encoded in the mail
message which does not always work)

The following are a few examples of useful commands you could send in the
body of your mail message. Each assumes you have requested to mail a
message to archive@vhdl.org and included the path command in the body.

To get help: help
  or to get this document: send docs pub.access.txt

To get a listing of available files and
  directories for a given level: index vi/vital
                                              send vi/vital 00README

To ask that a file be downloaded: send vi/vital email.archive

As an example, for Joe Smith of XYZ (login name joes) to get the VITAL
version 2.0 spec, he would send an email request to "archive@vhdl.org" with
the following body:

path joes@xyz.com
send vi/vital vitalspec20.ps.Z

Dial-Up Access:
---------------
Dial-up to the vhdl.org system at 408.945.4170. Any baud (upto 14,400),
parity, start & stop bits, and v.* settings will do. Login using the "guest"
account. Once in, simple UNIX commands such as "cd vi/vital", "ls" and
"cat 00README" are available. Also, you can download desired files using
"kermit", "zmodem" or "sz" (zmodem).

Internet Access:
----------------
Use "ftp vhdl.org" (or "ftp 198.31.14.3") and login as user "anonymous".
Look in to "vi/vital". Also, gopher is available and highly recommended if
you have it available. Gopher to "vhdl.org".

Remember to set "binary" mode for any binary files (*.doc, *.fm, *.xls) you
may elect to receive.

In general, most documents are available in source (binary) form (such as
WORD, EXCEL or FrameMaker formats), in an ASCII exchange format (such as RTF,
SyLK, and MIF; respectively), and in postscript form ready to be sent to your
printer directly. The file size increases accordingly as you move away from
the source form.

If you have any problems, send an email to support@vhdl.org.
