In order to fully understand the problem you are facing using Hybrid2, we need to view certain files generated by the program. These instructions are intended to help you upload the files to our server. Thank you.

List of files to upload.

All files in the \hybrid2\h2sim\ directory. This might include some or all of the files listed in Appendix A (on page 44 and 45) of the Hybrid2 v 1.0 User Manual.

An alternative method for people with access to Netscape or any other browsers that support FTP:

Open the URL: ftp://ftp.ecs.umass.edu/pub/rerl/hybrid2/support/<your ID#>

Once the address has been reached you will see an empty directory.

To upload files after you've accessed the site, choose the File|Upload File menu item. In the resulting dialog box, select the file on your hard disk that you wish to upload.
