framer@drd.com (Framers List) (03/21/91)
The following is a short introduction to the 'framers' mailing list. If
you wish to subscribe, send your request along with a valid domain-style
address to the Administrative Contact address.
'framers' is a users forum for sharing of experiences and
information about the FrameMaker desktop publishing package from
Frame Technologies.
Submissions: framers@DRD.Com
Administrative Contact:

<or> your friendly neighbourhood postmaster
'framers' is a reflecting type of mailing list. What that means is
that any e-mail sent to 'framers@DRD.Com' is re-distributed without any
intervention on my part to everybody else. That's about 1500 people on
5 continents (we have subscribers in USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, New
Zealand, Israel and all over Europe).
When you have anything of an administrative nature (like address change,
address deletion, request for help in reaching someone; that kind of
thing), please e-mail to 'framers-request@DRD.Com'. This is somewhat of
a convention on the Internet/Usenet -- administrative addresses are the
name of the mailing list suffixed with '-request'. You'll see it
often.
Above all, please DO NOT mail "please add me" or "please remove me"
requests to the Submissions address! Your hair will fall out and
you will contract athelete's foot if you do.
Messages sent to this list are NOT archived (volunteers with anonymous
ftp/uucp capability welcome).
Regional Groups
The Frame Users' Network (FUN), an organization in the San Francisco
Bay Area which holds monthly meetings. You can find out about FUN from
its president:
dirk@Eng.Sun.Com (Dirk van Nouhuys)
The Frame Users' Network New England (FUNNE) is forming!!!
-----------------------------
A users group for FrameMaker enthusiasts is being formed. The group
will have meetings focusing on the various technical issues involved
in learning and using FrameMaker.
Depending on Response, meetings can be set up throughout New England
which will focus on new FrameMaker features and specialized uses of the
product. It will also serve as a catalyst for user input back to Frame.
In addition, a quarterly newsletter (available to users outside of NE
as well) will focus on using FrameMaker and new products etc.
Those people interested in joining the group, coordinating events
or contributing to the newsletter should send the following:
Name
Address
