Papers On-line

I am returning this otherwise good typing paper to you because someone has printed gibberish all over it and put your name at the top. - an English Professor at Ohio University

Amazing as it may seem, we actually have a smattering of papers on-line for your reading pleasure. All the files (papers and/or figures) are in one of the following formats:

file.ps -- postscript
file.tex -- LaTeX
file.Z -- compressed binary
file.tar -- archive format for packing directories
file.tar.Z -- compressed and archived

You should be able to tell from the link what kind of file it is. In most cases, the format is explicitly stated. If not, try "view source" in your browser and that should tell you what the format is. You should have no problems downloading file.ps or file.tex since it's ASCII format. For file.tar, file.Z, and file.tar.Z, you will need to unpack the file using one of the following commands in unix:

for file.Z
uncompress file.Z

for file.tar
tar xf - < file.tar

for file.tar.Z
zcat file.tar.Z | tar -vxf -
