Hi -- if you are not enrolled in comp210, then please ignore this automated message. Or, if you're aware you don't yet currently have a connect5 program in the designated spot, you can also ignore. You are receiving this mail because (a) you ran "register comp210" at the beginning of this semester, but (b) you con't seem to have a file with the necessary name for connect5 (replace "[your-user-id]" in:) "ls -l /home/[your-user-id]/comp210/connect5/connect5.ss" If this is contrary to what you expect, please double-check that this file exists and fix as necessary. You won't be entered in the tournament if this file is not found. Note that you don't need to have the file there now, but by the end of your finals, - for grading, you OR your partner must have the file present; - for the tournament (not grading:) if you and your partner have any differences (e.g., one of you made changes for the tournament), then you must each have your own copy of the file present. Cheers, ian p.s. In addition to existing, the file also needs to be readable. You shouldn't have to do anything special for this, unless you've tinkered with unix commands like "umask" or "chmod". But, if you want more info: Listing files in the long format ("ls -l") should start off with something like "-rw-r--r--" for that file. The important part are the "r"s, meaning it is readable to you ("user"), to comp210 admin ("group"), and the world ("other"). Use "chmod g+r connect5.ss" to make the file group-readable.
