Some information on how to use tar and submit

Tar : you can use tar to combine a number of files (or directories) into one file. You might need to do this since you cannot submit more than one file for the assignments.

To combine a number of files into a file called myfile.tar do the following:

	tar cf myfile.tar  filenames 

To extract files from myfile.tar

	tar xf myfile.tar

To list all the files in myfile.tar

	tar tf myfile.tar

More information can be obtained by doing man tar .


Submit: this tool will be used to submit one file only. So, you will be submitting your tarred file. The following are some instructions on how to use submit. For more information, do man submit .

The syntax for it is

	submit -N  project name  csc324h  tarred file 

Project names are: Scheme for project 1, Prolog for project 2 and OO for project 3.

For example if you are submitting project 1 and the file is called lab1.c you would write:

	submit -N Scheme csc324h lab.c
