     Thanks you for your interest in NCAlgebra and NCGB.  
     This message contains the information necessary for you to use 
     anonymous ftp to transfer the files from our site to yours. The 
     ONLY thing which you have to do to get the NCAlgebra or NCGB 
     package is to follow the following sample terminal session. 

     NCAlgebra (with or without) NCGB  is at osiris.ucsd.edu, 
     in the pub/ncalg directory.  Below is a record of an actual 
     ftp session. What the user types is underlined.  Quoted expressions 
     describe what should be typed. (e.g., where you see 
     "Any thing will do,but please type your e-mail address.", you may 
     type anything you want). Ignore all timing data shown below.

     BELOW IS A SAMPLE SESSION. IF YOU FOLLOW IT, THEN YOU WILL BE
     ABLE TO GET A COPY OF THE NCAlgebra or NCGB PACKAGE.

     YOU CAN HAVE YOUR LOCAL COMPUTER "GURU" FOLLOW THE BELOW 
     INSTRUCTIONS BELOW AND INSTALL NCAlgebra  or NCGB AS AN 
     OFFICIAL MATHEMATICA PACKAGE. 
     ONCE THIS IS DONE, EVERYONE USING THE COMPUTER MAY
     USE NCAlgebra or NCGB.



          % ftp osiris.ucsd.edu  or
          % ftp 132.239.145.6
            -------------------
     
          Connected to 132.239.145.6.
     
          220 osiris FTP server (SunOS 4.0) ready.
     
     
          Name (132.239.145.6:joejones): anonymous
                                         ---------
     
          331 Guest login ok, send ident as password.
     
          Password: "Anything will do,but please type your e-mail address." 
                    -------------------------------------------------------
     
          230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
     
          ftp> binary
               ------

          200 Type set to I.



          ftp> cd pub/ncalg
             ---------------

          250 CWD command successful.          
     
          ftp> ls
               --

At this point, you will see a list of filenames. Some of them should ¹look like NCGB.date.tar.Z, NCGB.date.tar.gz and NCGB.date.zip . The ``.Z" indicates the the file was compressed using the UNIX utility compress and the ``.gz" indicates that the file was compressed using the GNU utility gzip. The ".tar" indicates that the tar program was used (tar is a UNIX standard is available for other platforms such as PCs). The ".zip" is a zipped file and is appropriate for PCs. One can choose either of the three versions. Obviously, you should pick the most recent version of the code and the one which is most appropriate to your computer system. To be concrete in the following material, we assume that you are interested in the file ``NCGB.date.tar.Z".

     ftp> get NCGB.date.tar.Z 
          -----------------------
    
     ftp> bye  
          ---
     221 Goodbye.
