- Last Update - December 17, 1994
-
- 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.
-
- Also keep in mind that your replies go directly to the author of the message
- you are replying to. If you wish to have the reply directed to the mailing
- list, you should use your e-mail software to change the address that the
- message is going to rather than adding the mailing list in the cc: field
- (carbon copy). By including it in the cc: field, the author of the message
- that you are replying to will get TWO copies of the message.
-
- Posting
- -------
-
- To post messages to the list, send e-mail to "lightwave-l@netcom.com".
-
- Subscription Information
- ------------------------
-
- To subscribe to this list, send e-mail to "listserv@netcom.com".
- In the body of the message, include the following:
-
- subscribe lightwave-l <optional address>

- substitute "subscribe" with "unsubscribe" in the message body.
-
- Lightwave Usenet Newsgroup
- --------------------------
-
- If you have access to the Usenet newsgroups, take a look for
- comp.graphics.packages.lightwave. Currently, this newsgroup's messages
- aren't being archived in an automatic way (if you are archiving them
- automatically, please let me know!). Hopefully, I'll have a newsgroup
- gateway into the mailing list so those on the mailing list that don't
- have access to Usenet can participate in the newsgroup.
-
- 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/dj/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
-
- For example, to get a list of the files in the Lightwave directory,
- send the following in the body of the message.
-
- DIR /pub/dj/djmccoy/Lightwave
-
- or
-
- LS /pub/dj/djmccoy/Lightwave
-
- Questions or Other Items
- ------------------------
-
- Questions and other list items can be directed to djmccoy@netcom.com or
- owner-lightwave-l@netcom.com
-
- Video Toaster Mailing List
- --------------------------
-
- If you are also interested in the Vidto Toaster mailing list, you can
- subscribe by following the directions above under "Subscription
- Information". Instead of sending "subscribe lightwave-l", substitute
- "lightwave-l" with "toaster-l".
-
- Other Sites and Information
- ---------------------------
-
- Keith Christopher (keithc@library.welch.jhu.edu) has set up an FTP site
- that contains a growing number of Lightwave oriented files (objects,
- scenes, framestores, ARexx macros and much more). The Lightwave mailing
- list message archives can also be found there.
-
- The site is: tomahawk.welch.jhu.edu and the directory is: /pub/lw
-
- For those of you who can use Mosaic, Keith Christopher has also set up
- a nice Lightwave oriented Mosaic site at http://tomahawk.welch.jhu.edu/.
-
- Looking for even more 3D Objects? avalon.chinalake.navy.mil has a large
- collection of 3D objects in various file formats. Lightwave can directly
- import some of them while others may need converting first via third
- party object conversion programs like InterChange Plus and Pixel3D Pro.
