The commentaries are stored at the AJPO machine. Here's an example of how to retrieve a commentary. I've starred the lines where you type something. * ftp ajpo.sei.cmu.edu * Name (ajpo.sei.cmu.edu:): anonymous * Password (ajpo.sei.cmu.edu:anonymous): (your name here) 331 Guest login ok, send ident as password. 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply. * ftp> cd public/ada-comment 200 CWD command okay. * ftp> mget ai-00032* * mget ai-00032-ra.wj.1? y 200 PORT command okay. 150 Opening data connection for ai-00045-co.wj.1 (128.2.237.97,6034) (1574 bytes). 226 Transfer complete. 1616 bytes received in 0.06 seconds (26 Kbytes/s) * ftp> quit quit 221 Goodbye. To see an index of all the commentaries, retrieve the file ai-index* This file is quite long -- some 198K bytes. Transmission between MILNET machines and the AJPO machine can be quite slow, since the AJPO machine is on the ARPANET and transmissions are gatewayed to MILNET machines. I understand work is underway to change this situation. When the commentaries were kept at ADA-20, people interested in the commentaries were automatically notified when any commentary was updated. Since the transition to the new machine, updating of commentaries has been disrupted, but should resume some time next month. At that time, automatic notification of commentary updates will resume. In the meantime, anyone who wishes to receive automatic notification of updates to commentaries when this service resumes should send a message to ada-comment@ajpo.sei.cmu.edu requesting to be put on the automatic notification list.
