It would be especially useful to review the manual pages or any documentation on the following resources:

• ls(1) - lists files
• zip(2) - compresses files into a smaller form
• (3) -
• uuencode(5) - allows you to archive files and directories

In the UNIX class Public Directory on lab46 you will find a dac0/ subdirectory. You can use the grabit command to get copy dac0/ to your present directory.

You can check the current repository status by using “hg status”

To commit a file, you must use hg commit [file1, file2,…] command with the files that you already added. It will take you to a screen similar to nano or pico editors. Once there you can type a name for your commit and then press enter to accept the name. It will ask if you are sure that you want to save it to a confusing looking name. Press enter and it will return you to the command line. Use hg status to see if you can see any files that you just tried to commit. If you don't see them than your commit will have been successful.
