CS217 - The First Week

Online Enrollment

First, please enroll on-line for the course. This puts you in our grading database and makes sure you'll get e-mail when we make announcements.

Setting Up Your Account

You'll probably want to add /u/cs217/bin to your search path. This usually means editing your .cshrc or .login - find the line which says

set path = ( various directories here )

and add /u/cs217/bin to your path, preferrably before /usr/princeton/bin. This way, we can add new commands and you can just type their names at the Unix prompt.

First-Week Special Precepts

We have CS 101 (the Sparc lab) reserved from 7-8pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. You should arrive for one of these sessions. We'll be going over gdb - the GNU debugger - which you'll be using to fix your programs when they aren't working properly.
