There have been many complaints on comp.sys.mac about APDA pricing, so I decided to take a look myself and I too am a bit perturbed. I am the one who edits the Tech Notes and I don't like to see the work we put out and information we want out for free to be used as a profit center ($60 for the complete set). I've voiced my complaints internally, but one voice cannot do it alone. If you are upset about APDA pricing, especially things like Tech Notes, I suggest you let APDA know about it. Send you complaints, via the net, to: APDA@APPLELINK.APPLE.COM and let them know your displeasure. Thanks for your support. This message, of course, is not endorsed or acknowledge by my employer.

If you tried to respond to Mark's message about sending mail to APDA@APPLELINK.APPLE.COM and got "host unknown" (from BITNET) send the message to XB.DAS@Stanford.BITNET with Subject: APDA@APPLELINK ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Murph, I would appreciate it if you could post the following instructions to comp.sys.mac and comp.sys.apple. If you are on BITNET, but not the Internet, you must use the DASNET gateway at Stanford. Following are the instructions on how to do that. Thanks. Sending to AppleLink from BITNET 1. In the TO field, enter the DASNET address: XB.DAS@STANFORD.BITNET 2. In the SUBJECT field, enter the AppleLink Address followed by: @APPLELINK So it looks like this: TO: XB.DAS@STANFORD.BITNET SUBJECT: USER1@APPLELINK 3. If you type a ! after the address in the subject field, you can insert comments, but the subject line must be limited to 29 characters. Example: SUBJECT: USER1@APPLELINK!Test Mark

It would be nice. . . > Sure does. If that doesn't work from BITNET, you can use APDA%applelink.apple.com@apple.com or any other applelink address. You can send to AppleLink and get messages back, but no other access is possible of course. Mark B.
