- Archive-name: typing-injury-faq/changes
- Version: $Revision: 1.6 $ $Date: 1993/08/29 00:57:50 $
-
- This file details changes to the soda.berkeley.edu archive and summarizes
- what's new in the various FAQ (frequently asked questions) documents.
- This will be posted monthly, along with the full FAQ to the various net
- groups. The various mailing lists will either receive the full FAQ
- every month, or every third month, but will always get this file, once
- per month. Phew!
-
- ============================================================================
- Changes to the Typing Injuries FAQ and soda.berkeley.edu archive, this month
- ============================================================================
-
- The biggest change this month is happening to me, your FAQ maintainer.
- I've graduated from Berkeley, and I'm moving on to the CS department
- of Princeton as a graduate student. My work number is no longer valid.
- I can be reached at home until September 1 at 510-231-0345. I'll
- be spending the next week on vacation, and I'll resurface in New Jersey
- on September 9. After that, I'll likely post something, and I'll
- certainly update my finger info on the various Berkeley machines to
- tell you the latest and greatest.
-
- As far as I can tell, the soda.berkeley.edu archive will stay intact,
- and I will continue to manage it remotely. If something happens in
- Berkeley, I'll move the archive to somewhere in Princeton.
-
- E-mail sent to me anywhere in Berkeley will stay here until I'm set up
- in Princeton, and will then be forwarded. E-mail sent to me at Berkeley
- machines should find its out to Princeton for some time to come.
-
- A call for more information:
-
- Some of my data is getting stale: anybody have new data on when
- the Vertical, the FlexPro, or the MiniErgo will be shipping? Does
- anybody have the current address of Infogrip (makers of the Bat)?
- Does anybody have any data on the new version of DragonDictate?
-
- More about soda:
-
- Recently, the disk which holds soda's ftp archive has been unstable.
- As a result, the soda.berkeley.edu archive (and much of the machine)
- is temporarily hosed. This should be fixed, eventually. Meanwhile,
- I have my own private copies of most of the files (but, not the GIF's)
- so I can e-mail things directly, if you desperately need a file.
-
- So, when you read "available on soda" below, replace that with
- "available on soda as soon as it's fixed and I upload the new files."
-
- Otherwise, we have a smorgasboard of new things this month:
-
- Some new info on the lack of info for using a normal keyboard on an
- IBM RS/6000. If you know what's up with IBM, let me know!
-
- Some new data on the DataEgg, including a new phone number.
-
- New file on soda: worksafe-australia.info -- info on some publications
- you can get from the Australian government
-
- New speech-input solution from IBM (IBM Speech Server Series) --
- along the same vein as the Kurzweil and Dragon systems.
-
- New edition of Pete Johnson's pointing devices document (version 1.2)
- available on soda.
-
-
-
- ============================================================================
-
- If you'd like to receive a copy of the FAQ and you didn't find it in the
- same place you found this document, you can either send e-mail to
- dwallach@cs.berkeley.edu, or you can anonymous ftp to soda.berkeley.edu
- (128.32.149.19) and look in the pub/typing-injury directory.
-
- Enjoy!
