Review of Workshops

The fundamental points:

• In General

  • When creating web documents at Lehigh, there are two tasks to accomplish:
    • Create an ASCII text file containing HTML tags.
    • Put this file in the www-data directory in AFS public space.
  • Each of these can be done in any of several ways--which way you chose to use is a matter of convenience and personal preference. IT DOES NOT MATTER OTHERWISE, as long as you accomplish both tasks.
  
  

• Workshop 1

  • Uses Network Server system editor (dte) to create/edit file directly in AFS space.
  • Shows how you can use the Network Server to edit homepages.
  • Shows how you can copy files from another person's public AFS space.
  • Shows how you can use Lynx from the Network Server to view the document.
  • Starts with a text file, benefit.txt
  • Create a web document, benefit.html
  • Additionally, you may be interested in seeing just how far you might go with this example.
  
  

• Workshop 2

  • Uses WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS to create/edit the file.
  • Shows how to get WordPerfect to save a file as ASCII text.
  • Shows how to upload/download the file from the PC to AFS space (using the Network Server UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD topics).
  • Starts with a WordPerfect document (located in AFS public space so everyone can get to it). Notice that this file, expense.wpd is binary, so trying to view it directly is not particularly helpful.
  • However, we do also have the text version, expense.txt, available.
  • And we also have an example of what you might be able to do with the final expense.html file.
