A while back, Eugene Miya asked me to add the following text to the
frequently asked questions posting:
XXX More specific technical references can be obtained from an ACM/SIGGRAPH
XXX mail daemon. Send a message to
XXX
XXX graf-bib@decwrl.dec.com
XXX
XXX Just place important keywords in the Subject: field of your mail message.
XXX E.g.,
XXX
XXX Subject: ray traced musical spheres
XXX
XXX Please be as specific as possible. "Graphics" is too vague and would
XXX only flood the mailer. Additional keywords help. Some of the complete
XXX reference files are obtainable via anonymous ftp thru gatekeeper.dec.com
XXX (pub/misc/graf-bib) [megabytes]. Additional years references will be
XXX added over time.
Unfortunately, I did so, without checking whether the server actually works.
It doesn't work, even when the address is corrected to graf-bib-server.
Email to the people involved has not produced a fix. So, the text won't be
appearing next week. Sorry for the confusion, and I'll be checking suggested
additions more carefully in the future.
