Welcome to CELIA (Computer Enhanced Language Instruction Archives).

   Note: This archive just started in January, so parts of it
   are almost empty, although there is quite a bit of stuff for
   the Macintosh in the English section.  If you have suggestions, 
   problems, files to contribute, or would like to work as one
   of the volunteers, please send e-mail to fred.swartz@merit.edu.

What is CELIA?
   This is a collection of computer resources that are useful in
   teaching languages (CALL, CALI, ...).  It consists of public domain, 
   freeware, and shareware files.  It also contains Gopher links to
   other useful resources on the Internet.  It is maintained by 
   volunteers; you can help by adding materials, giving feedback, or
   offering to help.  This archive makes use of Gopher links so 
   many items will not appear to the FTP user.

More information on CELIA
   In the 00info directory there are two files you might want to read
     celia-intro.txt  -- purpose, history, and future of CELIA.
     celia-how-to.txt -- guide to accessing CELIA.

Access
   This archive is designed to be accessed most easily by an Internet
   Gopher client.  Parts of it can also be accessed by FTP or AFS.

Gopher Access:
   host: gopher.archive.merit.edu
   port: 7055
   path: celia-gopher
      or
   gopher gopher.archive.merit.edu, and look in Merit Software Archives 

FTP Access:
   There are currently two FTP sites: one in North America and one
   in Australia.  For both of them use the login "anonymous" with
   your e-mail address as a password.

   archive.umich.edu  in the directory celia-ftp
     This service has a load limit so it would be best to use it only 
     during non-work hours EST (UCT+5).  Use Gopher instead of FTP if
     possible since much of CELIA will not be visible to FTP.

   ftp.latrobe.edu.au
   

AFS access
   If you are using AFS (Andrew File System) CELIA can be found at
	/afs/umich.edu/group/itd/archive/celia-ftp

Top level organization
   The top level of the CELIA archives is by language; the next
   level down is by skill, etc.  At the bottom is a division by
   platform.

   english
      incoming          (where to put submissions with ftp)
      vocabulary
         mac
         dos
      grammar
         ...
      ...
   francais
      incoming          (where to put submissions with ftp)
      vocabulary
         ...
      ...
   ....


--- file formats ---
All files have a suffix indicating the type:

.txt text all platforms
     just a simple text (ASCII) file.

.hqx text Mac
     Encoded in BinHex (.hqx) format.  You will need a
     program to decode that -- ask your local Mac guru 
     and he/she will know what to do.  After converting 
     from BinHex, you may have a file with another suffix.

.sea binary Mac
     This is a Self-Extracting Archive.  Just double click on it
     and it will uncompress and unpack itself into something 
     that will be a normal application of document for the Mac.

.exe binary DOS

.zip binary DOS

(other suffixes to be supplied)

Submissions 
   If you would like to submit something to these archives, you can use
   FTP (but not Gopher!) to "put" it in a celia-ftp/<language>/incoming
   directory.  Note that incoming directories are not permitted to be 
   read, only written.

   Files are accepted in the following formats:
      Mac (.hqx, .txt)
      DOS (.exe, .zip, .txt)

   For right now, the only directory that has an "incoming"
   submissions area is English.  If you put something there,
   send me (fred.swartz@merit.edu) a message.
