Instructions for Submitting Your Papers Electronically

Since are required to submit your paper electronically for use in the SESUG Proceedings CD-ROM, we have some additional information on doing this through our FTP site.

Your Paper Number

The following instructions will ask you to specify your paper number.  Click here to find out what your paper number is.  If you have multiple papers, please make sure that you specify the correct paper title.

PostScript File Preparation

You are required to provide both the application file (Word or WordPerfect document) and a PostScript (level 1) file of your paper on a 3½" diskette or via Anonymous FTP. You may create the PostScript file using the software of your choice. Directions for creating a PostScript version of your paper on a PC from Microsoft Word or WordPerfect follow. Before you can create a PostScript version of your paper, you must have a PostScript driver loaded on your PC. The following PostScript drivers are provided with the Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows NT operating systems:

  • Apple LaserWriter IINT
  • Apple LaserWriter Pro 600

You may need to install one of these LaserWriter print drivers on your PC before you can create the postscript version of your paper.

Note: We strongly recommend that you use the suggested font (Helvetica or Arial) for best results when creating your PostScript file. Other fonts sometimes become illegible for viewing online after creating the PostScript file.

Providing PostScript Files on a 3½" Diskette

To copy your PostScript file onto a 3½" diskette:

  1. Insert a 3½" diskette into the A: Drive of your PC.
  2. Using your right mouse button, click on your file name and ‘Send to 3½" floppy’. Your PC will then copy the postscript file of your paper to the diskette. Label the diskette with your name and the file name (for example, John Jones, p201.ps).

Remember to copy your application file (Word or WordPerfect document) to the diskette as well.

Providing Files with Anonymous FTP

You can provide the PostScript and application files of your paper through Anonymous File Transfer Protocol (FTP) if you prefer not to send a diskette. To log on to Anonymous FTP you need to have a direct Internet connection. You may connect without prior registration. Just follow these steps:

  1. Enter this statement:
  2. ftp ftp.uga.edu

  3. Enter the responses shown in bold at the following prompts:
  4. Name (ftp.uga.edu: userid): anonymous

    Password: your e-mail address

  5. When you log in, make sure you place yourself in the inbound/sesug99 directory. To change directories, type: cd /inbound/sesug99.
  6. Change to binary mode before placing the PostScript files in this directory (by typing binary).  For security reasons you will not be able to display a listing of the files.

  7. Enter this statement:
  8. put <filename>

  9. It is very important that you name your FTP file using your paper number. For example, if your paper number is 201, please use the FTP filename "p201."
