Ollie Lounella's tournament report from IGS's early years (1993)



All,

http://www.pandanet.co.jp/English/essay/history1993.html
That link takes you to the page.

The next quote, from that link,...
"(There is a nicely written report on the tournament by Olli, as well
as the game records of the 382 finished games, available on the ftp
site of ftp://ftp-igs.joyjoy.net/Go/igs/ mcm93*.)"
...the following bit of that ftp that shows up on the page as a
link is...
ftp://ftp-igs.joyjoy.net/Go/igs

This takes me to a page...
"Index of ftp://ftp-igs.joyjoy.net/Go/igs";
...and a list of files, all of which end in .z

There is a bunch of these that fill the bill as mcm93* files
one of which is mcm93rpt.z, and is probably Ollie Lounella's report.
I should by this time know how to deal with .z file endings;
which shows just how powerful the www and http routes are to
ordinary users of PCs.
I've searched and found this link...
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Ftp/uncompress.html#Z
...and half way down there is a section...
"Uncompress *.Z files"
...is the description there of how to do this, up to the
minute? Or is there a more 'direct' <s> route? If not then I daresay
getting the "comp430d.zip" file is the way to go; and as for the
'pkunzip' part of things, whenever I've any zipping or unzipping of
files to do (mainly un-zipping of CAD drawing files) I usually just
use the XP Pro facility.
As I said just a 'user' of these wonderful machines.

I do use the Firefox browser and have their FireFTP plug-in,
which I've never used.
