Generating tarfiles (files with extension .tar)
and using the turnin program on CSNet

• Transfer all your assignment files to a CS departmental Unix machine.
• Create a directory named Lastname-Firstname-A1:

  mkdir Lastname-Firstname-A1 

  Important: replace Lastname and Firstname with your real names.
  
  
• Copy all your assignment files to the directory Lastname-Firstname-A1:

  cp prob1.c  prob2.java Lastname-Firstname-A1 

• Use the tar program to store your files from the directory Lastname-Firstname-A1 in a tar file (archive file) called Lastname-Firstname-A1.tar . To create the tar file, type:

  tar cvf Lastname-Firstname-A1.tar Lastname-Firstname-A1 

• You can list the files in Lastname-Firstname-A1.tar

  tar tf Lastname-Firstname-A1.tar 

• Use turnin on the CSNet to copy the file Lastname-Firstname-A1.tar to the class directory for grading:

  turnin 211-501 Lastname-Firstname-A1.tar 

  Important: replace 501 with your current section number.
  
  
• Your TA will unpack your files using tar

  tar xvf userID-Lastname-Firstname-A1.tar

  userID is automatically added by the program turnin.
