- ASK fileserver (12/10/90)
-
- ASK runs a fileserver, accesible by mail. The server is steadily
- prepared for mail receipt, which is handled without assistance and
- results in a reply to the sender. Usually ASK personnel is not required.
-
- The ASK-server works -just like LISTSERV- with the wellknown
- list-concept: Distinct subjects are defined as lists and are accessible
- for the users.h the following subjects:
-
- Today two lists exist wit
- a) Public Domain Software (Name of the list: PDS)
-
- Public Domain Software
-
- This list helps to manage Public Domain Software, contributed by
- university members. For the sake of convenient transport, the software
- is available in a compressed form (ARC, UUE) and the user has to
- uncompress it by himself. Of course, the corresponding transfer-programs
- are available on the File- server.
-
- ASK-Forum
-
- The Forum "ASK" was installed to give the users the opportunity of
- keeping well-informed about the ASK. To get new informations about SISY,
- Fileserver or Software-award, the user has to register once (subscribe).
- Then he will regularly get contributions, distributed by the forum via
- mail.
-
- Beside this passive use, the users also have the possibility to send
- their own contributions like questions, suggestions, comments or
- criticisms to the Forum. These will then be sent to all other
- registered users. Sending of own contributions is only possible when the
- users are subscribed to the Forum. The contributions are collected and
- saved and are available as monthly notices.
-
- Using the fileserver
-
- Before the description of the mail-commands is given, here is the
- summary of the possibilities of using the fileserver:
-
- - call for public domain software
- - preparation of public domain software
- - registering to participation in discussions
- - introduction of own contributions
- - handling of own discussion-themes with the ASK-Server
-
- The Communication with the fileserver is effected by electronic mail.
- The address is: c=de; a=dbp; p=uni-karlsruhe; ou=ask; s=fileserv.
-
- Answers to the mail are given mechanically, so a special command-syntax
- is necessary. Only the real commands, standing in the subjectplace of a
- mail or in the first line of the "body part" at an empty
-
