0) Need link with AppleTalk Developer's Association: Presumably they have some sort of E-mail system, GENnie or MCI Mail or CompuServe or something. I'd really appreciate it if some kind soul would take the time and effort to forward the messages back and forth so we can communicate. (We get ATDA messages, they get info-applebus) [The info-mac'ers have the Delphi Mac and Unix Mac 'Digests', we networking types should have something at least as interesting until X.400 gets implemented everywhere and there are ARPA<->UUCP<->commercial links.] 1) Archives: a) MACSERVE (access from bitnet) I'm trying to get the bitnet people to extending the MACSERVE service to get at files on this machine. This will mean that sites unable to access this info-applebus archives and programs via anonymous FTP can get them by network mail. (Hopefully this will be nothing more than giving them our netaddress and directory names) b) categorized archives I'm expermenting with categorized archives. I move messages from archive.txt into the archive.<subject> file that matches the message content. Hopefully this will make it easier to find the information you want and reduce file tranfer times. Does anybody have any objections or suggestions for categories? (archive.txt will probably change to archive.misc, as a repository for messages that don't fit into a given category) Archive.Appletalk-Programming.1;P775252 3 6414(7) 25-Apr-86 11:30:37 .Cabling.1;P775252 1 2021(7) 8-May-86 17:14:58 .Coordinators.1;P775353 1 631(7) 19-Mar-86 18:02:48 .Ethernet-Mac.1;P775353 4 8875(7) 16-Apr-86 17:47:35 .File_Service.1;P775252 3 6947(7) 25-Apr-86 15:31:59 .Kinetics.1;P775353 21 53194(7) 19-May-86 23:33:36 .Laserwriter.1;P775252 1 1618(7) 19-May-86 23:31:31 .Macip.1;P775353 3 6675(7) 15-Apr-86 01:31:05 .Rs232.1;P775353 3 6195(7) 25-Apr-86 11:31:58 .Seagate.1;P775252 2 3148(7) 25-Apr-86 11:29:35 .Txt.1;P775353 119 302198(7) 29-May-86 23:56:14 (as you can see, I have a bit of work to do yet.) 2) Moderation: I plan to make the list unmoderated and simply let the messages pass through immediately to the list. I'll still be a subscriber and will continue my work on the moderated archives, so I won't be out of touch or anything. Please address any comments on these matters to info-applebus-request. Thank you for your interest and your patience. -------
