------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT TO DO WHEN FACULTY EMAILS YOU A POSTSCRIPT FILE OT THEIR TECHNICAL REPORT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1] Assign the next technical report number (say this number is yy-nn).
[2] Invoke mail and save this mail in file in your home directory as follows:
    & is the mail prompt and ~ represents your home directory.

	& s ~/yy-nn.ps

[3] Edit the postscript file yy-nn.ps and delete the email headers from it.
    You can use vi or emacs editor to do this.

---------------------------------------------
POSTING THE TECHREP POSTSCRIPT FILE: yy-nn.ps
---------------------------------------------
[1] Login into techrep account from one of the grad lab machines.
    You can see the name of this machine in your prompt (before
    the colon in the prompt). Let us assume that this machine-name
    is kitalpha.

[2] Invoke X-windows by typing the following at the unix prompt

	prompt>xw

    you will see the X-window environment come up on the screen.
    open one of the xterms by clicking on its icon.

[3] Type password for techreps account then CR:

    passwd: <tectreps password> <CR>

    Remote login into talos machine as techreps has been executed.
    You just need to type the password.
    Then you are in talos and you are logged in as techreps.

[4] Set the DISPLAY variable to the grad lab machine (kitalpha in our case)
    as follows:

    prompt> setenv DISPLAY kitalpha:0.0

[5] Get the postscript file (yy-nn.ps) from your castor account into /tmp
    on talos as follows:

    prompt> cd /tmp
    prompt> ftp castor
    Name (castor:techreps): <enter your login name here>
    password: <enter your password here>
    ftp> mget yy-nn.ps
    mget yy-nn.ps ? y
    < you will see some ftp message that the file is being trasferred>
    ftp> bye
    prompt>

[6] do a ls to confirm the file is indeed in /tmp.

    prompt> ls yy-nn.ps
    prompt> more yy-nn.ps

    type Ctrl-c (Press Control and C keys simultaneously) to quit more.

[7] Now you are ready to post the file onto the techrep utility

    prompt> cd
    prompt> techrep &

    You should be able to see the techrep utility appear on the screen and
    now go ahead and POST the document. The techrep citation should appear
    in the citations list. Select the yy-nn by clicking anywhere on it and
    click PREVIEW option to view it.

[8] You are all set now. Quit techrep by clicking on DONE.
    logout of talos.
    Take the mouse cursor outside the window and click the left mouse button
    and holding it choose the EXIT option. This will get you out of the xterm
    environment and then you can logout of the gradlab machine.
