  • Who is the Program Coordinator for the ESL/CSLG?
    Program Coordination is primarily handled by Ray Helmke.

  • What is a Subscriber to the ESL/CSLG?

    A subscriber to the ESL/CSLG is a computer located on the Cornell campus or other branch campus. A subscriber has the following rights granted for the duration of the subscription period:

    1. A license to use all the software in the library collection (with the exception of Operating SupportedHardware and Pathworks, which require initial licenses purchased outside the program).
    2. Right to updates to all the software updates in the library collection.
    3. Access to distribution copies of the software distribution media in order to install any of the software in the library on the licensed Compaq computer.

    4. Access to a reference set of documentation for all of the software in the library. This documentation is only available online in various formats.
    5. Technical support from HP will be used for the resolution of questions that cannot be answered by postings to the electronic mail list CSLG-L@cornell.edu

  • To What Terms and Conditions Are Members of ESL/CSLG Program obligated to Comply?

    HP is granting you a License; that is, the right to use the Library Software in accordance with the following terms:

    1. You may use the Library Software only on the single computer to which it has been permanently assigned as indicated on page one, above. For purposes of this License, use is intended to mean the copying of any portion of the instructions or data in the Software and/or any material associated therewith from storage units or media into the computer for the purpose of executing or running the Software.
    2. You may not otherwise copy, modify or merge the Software (or any portion thereof) with other non-library software for use on that computer.
    3. You may use the Software temporarily on another computer should the original computer malfunction.
    4. You may not transfer this License and/or the Software to anyone or to another system.
    5. Failure to comply with these terms (including the copying, transfer or distribution of the Software in an unauthorized manner) may constitute a criminal act and result in actions by the Compaq Computer Corporation and Cornell University.
    6. In addition, you may lose the right to use the Software on the computer if any of the above terms are violated.
    7. Use of the software MUST comply with the further terms and conditions outlined at the end of this document.
    Cornell University has made other commitments and obligations to HP which include the confidentiality and non-disclosure nature of this program without the written consent of HP. For further details, contact

    cslg-l@cornell.edu

  • What Does this Document Permit and Require You to Do?

    This document certifies that the computer identified above is licensed to use all software titles in the Software Library and must accompany the computer at all times. The system manager must make library members aware of the terms and conditions specified in this document. If an audit of the computer occurs, this certificate must be presented.

  • How Does a Library Member Obtain Software and Software Updates for the Licensed Computer?

    To request software, please send an e-mail message to

    CSLG-L@cornell.edu

    stating:

    1. name(s) of software packages and version numbers
    2. your name, e-mail address, and phone number
    3. preferred method of distribution (with appropriate details such as DECnet or destination address)

    Access directly to the distribution CDs can be arranged. If you want your own copy of the software distribution (for an additional fee), please contact

    CSLG-L@cornell.edu

  • How Does One Obtain Documentation for the Software Titles in the Library?

    Documentation for all of the software products in the ESL/CSLG is available on CD-ROM in various formats. CD-ROM documentation, which HP updates periodically during the year (and provides to us on a subscription basis), is available online from any X-Windows System on campus and, when we have backup for the materials, for a one-week loan period. In all cases, the most current CD-ROM release (as it may provide the only copy of documentation for one of the products in the ESL/CSLG) will not be available for loan but will remain online for reference. Previous versions, however, can be borrowed and will be available for a one-week extension providing no one is on the waiting list for the CD-ROM.

    Currently, loans are handled by the CSLG librarian for that operating system. E-mail sent to

    CSLG-L@cornell.edu

    will reach the correct person.

    ESL/CSLG members have the option of purchasing documentation for specific software titles at a discount. Write to

    CSLG-L@cornell.edu

    for more information on hpw to go about this.

  • How Does One Obtain License PAKs for the Software Titles in the Library?

    Many of the titles in the ESL/CSLG program require a license PAK to run. License PAKs will be sent via electronic mail to each department's CSLG administrator whenever a new CD has been purchased. The latest PAKs are also available from

    CSLG-L@cornell.edu

  • How Does One Get Software Questions Answered?

    If you have any questions regarding the installation and/or use of the software on your computer, you first contact your local system manager (see front page). If they can not help, you should send electronic mail to

    CSLG-L@cornell.edu

    with your e-mail address, a description of your problem and some sense of how urgent the problem is. If necessary, the problem will be escalated to HP for resolution. Once the problem is resolved, please send the resolution in e-mail to

    CSLG-L@cornell.edu

    so others may benefit from your experience.

    If you wish to subscribe to CSLG-L@cornell.edu, send a mail file to

    listproc@cornell.edu

    with the following line:

    SUBSCRIBE CSLG-L first last

    where first is your first name and last is your last name.
