Those of you with access to CompuServe's Information Service can now
get the lastest and greatest astronomical news bulletins (such as comet
or nova discoveries). Here's how you do it:
1) Connect to CIS
2) Select "Personal Computing" from the main menu
3) Select "Programmer's Area" from the personal computing menu
4) at the "OK" prompt, type R ACCESS
5) At the Public Access prompt, enter:
TYPE NEWS.DAT[70275,125]
In addition, you will get a catalog of other interesting items, particularly
program listings, that are available on-line.
I haven't tried it yet, but plan to tonight. Certainly seems worth keeping
an eye on just to see what software becomes available and what kind of
news crops up.
