Office of GRASS Integration U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research Laboratories Champaign, Illinois Welcome to the Office of GRASS Integration's FTP distribution directory. This archive is intended to be a quick, convenient, and low-cost way of obtaining GRASS source, contributed files, documentation, data, and bugfixes over the Internet. The server is designed to be especially "user friendly" -- it will supply help as you navigate the directories, and will remind you to read README files as appropriate. It also supports dynamic compression/decompression and dynamic creation of tar-archives; a file containing documentation about this server and some of its non-standard capabilities can be found in ftpHelp/ftpInfo.txt or ftpHelp/ftpInfo.ps in text or Postscript formats respectively. Always check the README files that are placed within the archive's directory structure, as well as the messages that our FTP server sends when you change into a directory. There is a file called ls-lR.Z in the root directory of the GRASS archive (after you type 'cd grass' for the first time) Use 'get ls-lR' to receive this file. This file contains a recursive directory tree of the entire archive, and is especially useful if you have problems using the ls command.
