Folks...
As you may have undoubtedly already heard, the University of Colorado
has made various documents from the International Telecommunication
Union available via anonymous FTP from bruno.cs.colorado.edu (set to be
renamed digital.resource.org at some point in the near future), in the
pub/standards directory. Included in this collection of documents is
the CCITT Blue Book.
As a service to the AFS and Internet communities, the grand.central.org
AFS cell has cached a number of these documents and made them visible to
the public at large. AFS sites may access this information with the
following pathname:
/afs/grand.central.org/darpa/usr/contrib/misc/itu
For people who are not AFS-capable, this information is also available
via anonymous FTP from host grand.central.org (IP address
192.54.226.100), in the following directory:
pub/itu
There are roughly 58 megabytes of data in this collection. A HELP file
is available in the top-level directory, along with other explicatory
files. All documents are in ASCII; the bruno.cs.colorado.edu site has
other formats, including PostScript. There are two subdirectories of
interest in usr/contrib/misc/itu:
ccitt: The Blue Book materials, plus other goodies. The
ccitt/1988 subdirectory has the Blue Book proper, and the
ccitt/1992 directory has a number of the ``X'' recommendations,
such as X.400, X.500, etc.
iso: A number of the ``X'' recommendation documents, such as
X.211, X.227, X.500, X.4001, and so on. There is replication
here with the materials located in ccitt/1992.
If there are any comments, suggestions, problems, and so on regarding
grand.central.org's cache, please let me know. I hope you find these
materials useful. As usual, tell your friends that this stuff is
available from GCO - this might offload the large amounts of FTP traffic
being experienced at bruno.cs.colorado.edu!
Ed.
