[comp.sys.amiga] AmigaUsers Compendium Intro

paquette@cpsc.ucalgary.ca (Trevor Paquette) (07/05/90)

 
  This is the 7th mailing of the AmigaUsers Compendium List.
 
   The idea of this list is to provide a database of users with a common
 background of the Amiga. Having your name on the list shows others your
 interests on the Amiga and the possibility of being able to help others
 out.
   The current list now has 128 names.
 
   Each entry in the list has the following format.
 
Last Name, Given Name   Occupation, Company/Educat. Inst.  City,Prov/State
Email Address
System Configuration (ie Major Hardware/Rom version/Hard drive etc)
Key-Numbers (more information about this below)
Comment Line (ONE line only)
 
Key Numbers are numbers which will serve as an index into a list of
'interest' groups. These groups are ones that you might be able to answer
questions in, or just areas that you are interested in. The numbers
should be seperated by a SINGLE space and not a comma.
 
  Each entry is limited to FIVE (5, cinq, V) lines. 
 
  An example entry in the proper format would be the following:
 
Kilroy, Joe  Grad Student, University of HardKnocks  Erehwon, Prost
uunet!{site1, site2}!jackson!hell!kilroy
2000, 1.3, 1 MB, 1080, HardFrame, Conner CP3100, Yamaha D-7, SuperMidi
1.1 5.2 3.1 1.3 1.2
Solid knowledge of graphics, and avid game player, and midi expert
 
  Also provided with the Compendium is a program that will read
in the list and will allow you to pull names based on the key numbers.
I have broken down interest groups into main groups and then into
sub-groups. So key number 6.2 would be Group 6 (Graphics) and 
sub-group 2 (Art). Marking group 6.0 (ie the Group title) means you
are interested in all areas of Amiga Graphics and/or are willing to
answers questions on them. The Interest groups are listed below. 
Lets make this work everyone. This is your chance to help others and
get help from others. You will also be able to find out more about
those 'others' on the net.

  NOTICE: Due to lack of spare time, and the fact I am probably going
    to be selling my system, I am looking for someone to take over this
    Compendium. The person should have access to the regular utilities
    to post things to the net (uuencode, shar, Pnews|postnews) as well
    an Amiga C compiler (preferably Manx) for the executable. If you feel
    you want to do this on a more regular basis then I have (ie do it
    monthly, instead of quasi-monthly) then drop me some email at the
    address listed in this message.
