*********************************************************** * * * NEW ADDRESS FOR CATEGORIES * * * *********************************************************** As many of you will have noted, categories is now sent from the internet host: mta.ca Please send mail to categories@mta.ca (for postings) or rrosebrugh@mta.ca (for administrative messages). *****Note that categories-request is no longer a valid user.***** For about a month, the host mta.bitnet will continue to be available, but the new addresses are evidently preferable and provide more accurate service. ************ ARCHIVES AVAILABLE BY FTP ********************* Anonymous ftp from macc2.mta.ca is also now available. Archives of the categories mailing list are available up to December 1990 (and shortly to June 1991.) in subdirectories of [anonymous.categories] It is also intended that the directory [anonymous.categories.macro] will contain an archive of diagram macro packages for TeX, or pointers to ftp sites offering such packages. Please note the host: macc2.mta.ca DANGEROUS BEND!!!! VMS (Vax) syntax must be used in changing default directories so, for example, to descend from the current directory type cd [.subnode] (change to the `subnode' directory) to ascend one node in the directory tree type cd [-] Example, after anonymous login cd [.categories] (go to the categories directory) dir (what's there?) cd [.cats90] (go to the 1990 archive, CATS90.DIR was in the directory.) dir get 90-06.txt (messages from June 1990) cd [-] (go back up to [.categories]) quit (or exit!) Each directory contains a file named 00README.TXT which explains the directory contents. Any queries or problem reports should be directed to me.
