Dear All,
A while back I posted a query about SAS usage. I have had several
nice replies from fellow SAS users.
Bob Paver of the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corp of
Austin, Texas, sent the following:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
There is an active SAS mailing list that is part of BITNET. You can
subscribe to the list by sending an e-mail message to:
LISTSERV@OHSTVMA.IRCC.OHIO-STATE.EDU
The message should contain one line containing:
subscribe sas-l <your name>
You might also send a line with HELP on it to get more info
about the LISTSERV world.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Subscribing to this list yields anything between 1 and 10 mail messages per
day, on different aspects of SAS. Some people using vaxes, some on PCs and
others on IBM mainframes. I've not sent anything to it yet...
The mailing list also appears in the form of a newsgroup
bit.listserv.sas-l
and our technical people have enabled this group on one of our machines
(unfortunately not the one I usually use).
There is (I think) a 1:1 correspondence between items sent to the
mailing list and items posted into the newsgroup. If there is a lot of
interest in SAS at your site, then the newsgroup version would be better
than everyone getting their own copy of the mail.
I hope fellow SAS people find this information useful, and I look forward to
meeting them via mail or news.
All the best,
Brian
