File Storage

IMPORTANT! When you download code using Netscape be careful to save it to your SUnix account - by default it will otherwise be written to the H: drive of the PC which is periodically erased. To do this just select Save As from the file menu and select the I: drive (labelled also by you username on SUnix) before typing in the name of the file to be saved. Alternatively, if you want a floppy disk copy of the code select the A: drive (having already inserted a formatted floppy disk). The contents of your SUnix account can be seen by either

logging in to one of the SUnix machines eg. rodan. and typing ls.
looking inside the folder bearing your SUnix username which appears on the desktop.

Your SUnix account has a quota of 3MB (not much!) so be careful to only keep files there you really need. Large graphics and images take up a large amount of space -- think about that while designing your personal web page.
