Getting a Computer Account:
It is a requirement of this course that all students have an active UCSC computer account.  If your account is not already activated, go to the UCSC portal:  http://my.ucsc.edu, and log in using the User ID and Password that were sent to you by the Registrar's Office, then click on the link labeled Activate UCSC Account.  Communications and Technology Services (CATS) provides a number of  help pages to get you started.  You should begin by reading Getting Started on Unix on the CATS website.  Also see the Instructional Computing website for more helpful information.

Submitting a Lab Assignment On-Line:
Logon to your CATS account, do your assignment, then type the following at the Unix prompt (%):

% submit  cmps010-pt.f04  assignment_name  file1  file2 ...
In the above example "assignment_name" will be replaced by the actual assignment name, such as lab1, lab2, lab3 etc.  Some assignments will require that you submit just one file, in which case "file1" is replaced by the name of that file, with nothing else on the line.  Other assignments will require multiple files.  In this case just list the file names on the command line as above.  As with all Unix commands, the submit command is executed when you hit the return key.  If you decide that you don't like what you submitted and want to submit a better version of the assignment (before the due date of course), just submit again using the same file name.  The new submission overwrites the old.

To verify that an assignment was accepted by the system, and to check what was actually submitted, use the peek command:

% peek  cmps010-pt.f04  assignment_name
You'll get a listing of all files which have been submitted for that assignment with the option of viewing the contents of each file.  If you just want to check and see if you are using the submit and peek commands correctly, submit some dummy file with  assignment_name  replaced  by  test.  For example
% submit  cmps010-pt.f04  test  dummy_file
Files submitted in this way will not be graded or even looked at.  This is just a way for you to test the process.
