Computer and Network Organization: An Introduction

Figures

All drawings have been made available in order to assist the development of course material. Each drawing is available as an EPSI Postscript file that can be included in documents. In addition, all drawings of a single chapter are grouped into a Postscript document that can be printed directly.

Per chapter, you can retrieve a tar file in which the drawings have been archived after compression using the gzip utility. In order to obtain the figures from, say, Chapter 5, proceed as follows:

  1. Retrieve the tar file from this Web page, and store it as fig5.tar in your local directory.

  2. Untar the file through the command tar xfv fig5.tar. This will create a subdirectory named fig5/ containing compressed Postscript files of each figure in Chapter 5.

  3. In order to uncompress, say, Figure 5.3, change to the directory fig5/ and type the command gunzip fig5-3.ps.gz.

  4. The (also compressed) document containing the immediately printable drawings is named pfig5.ps.
All figures as appearing in the book have been reduced to approximately 70% of their original size. As a reference, all roman text in figures has font size 12pt.
