- First, I had intended to make some changes to the Weekly Reminder to include
- more information (ie: the tommahawk site info, FAQ info, ect) but I've been
- working a heck of a lot of hours at work and will probably continue to do so
- until March 95. Hopefully, I can squeeze it in some time!
-
- Second, the other service provider confirmed they could gate the newsgroup
- but they have to get the software first. I now have an account on that
- service provider and am in the process of trying to get AMITCP 4.0
- configured to access the service via CSLIP. Not an easy task with no darn
- documentation and you're waiting for the registered version. :) Once
- that's done, I'll ask for the mailing lists to be set up and I'll test
- things for a while. Once that's done, the mailing lists are likely to move
- to that new site. Right now, the FTP files will stay on Netcom or may be
- move to Tommahawk if allowed. If all of this goes smooth, here's hoping for
- the newsgroup gate to happen by January 15th or better.
-
- Here's the Weekly Reminder...
-
- This message is to serve as a reminder that this mailing list is oriented
- towards topics on Lightwave. Messages really meant as private e-mail
- should be directed to that person's internet address rather than the list.
- Also, please use proper netiquette. Not everyone enjoys messages that
- have previous messages quoted verbatim. Not everyone has 132 column
- terminals. Please don't feel there's too many restrictions though. This
- mailing list is meant for exchange of information.
-

- To post messages to the list, send e-mail to "lightwave-l@netcom.com".

- FTP Message Archives
- --------------------
-
- Messages from this list as well as the original list and temporary list
- are kept on Netcom in my directory. You can FTP to "ftp.netcom.com".
- Once you've logged in anonomously, cd to "/pub/djmccoy/Lightwave".
-
- These files are also available via e-mail. Send e-mail to
- "ftp-request@netcom.com". Commands such as DIR, LS and SEND are
- relative to the directory "/pub/' so you must include the
- directory you wish to access within the command.
-
- Commands include:
-
- DIR [directory]
- LS [directory]
- HELP
- SEND path/file [splitsize]
- SERVERINFO
-
