Upload material to your account on mercury.cs.uml.edu.

Change directory to

  /usr/cs/fac4/fredm/www/courses/91.548-spr04/student/

Change directory to your own subdirectory

Put material here.  It will be accessible from the web via the URL

  http://www.cs.uml.edu/~fredm/courses/91.548/student/


After uploading material, change directory (cd) to your directory
and type:

chgrp -R 548spr04 *
chmod -R g+w *
chmod -R a+r *

The first of these commands will make sure all of your material is
part of the '548spr04' permissions group.  The second will make sure
it's group-modifyable.  The last makes sure everyone has read
privileges.  This will ensure that I can easily maintain this material
(and that you can modify each others' files, if necessary).

Please let me know if you need any help doing this.  Thanks.

*** FRED'S GENERAL PURPOSE GUIDELINES FOR WEB PAGES ***

- the simpler the better.
- javascript is bad.   
- hand coded HTML is good.
- using Microsoft Word's HTML output feature is extremely, extremely
bad.  Instead, link to the .doc file or a PDF version of the same.


Notes on the above:
- javascript works differently on every browser and incredibly,
different versions of the same browser.  therefore as the
sophistication of javascript code grows, the likelihood that it
actually works nicely is effectively zero.
- aside from generating heaps of cruft, Microsoft Word's HTML output
causes hard crashes with many browsers that are not made by
Microsoft.
