1. claiming the VMS resource in CLAIM,
2. logging in to the ACS vax cluster,
3. setting up your directory for web access, and
4. putting some files in your directory.

This command creates a subdirectory, [.public_html] in your main directory.
This subdirectory is where you put all the web documents you want to make
available.

  Your URL will be


http://acs.tamu.edu/~yourusername/yourhomepagedoc.html


where yourusername is the name you use to login to the acs cluster, and
yourhomepagedoc.html is the name of the file that contains the document you
created as your home page.


You have to run http_setup only one time.

If someone accesses the URL http://acs.tamu.edu/~yourusername/ they will
see a list of files in your subdirectory [.public_html]. (Click example
to see what this file list looks like.) They can click
on the file names and bring up a text version of the file, so this is a
very simple way to serve documents, especially at the beginning.
The files in your subdirectory [.public_html] can be put there by ftp
or fetch from your microcomputer.  The files can be created in a word
processor, with or without HTML tags for formatting; the files must be 
saved as text or ascii only, and transferred by ftp or fetch as text or
ascii.
