I was told by Dave Howard at Sun that someone at Sun-Spots might know how to get access to the source on the SUG tape that was available at the Miami convention. Can we order the tape, or is it available via email at some source archive? We are developing NeWS applications, have signed an OEM contract with Sun, and are members of the SUG, #A2914. [We very much wanted to go to the convention, but could not afford the cost or time. We are considering attending the OEM symposium in March, however]. Also, I thought I'd ask if anyone has tips on talking to the archive- server. I sent a help request, and got no response at all. Below is a copy of the message I sent: >> From paul Wed Feb 8 14:33:16 1989 >> To: philabs!rice.edu!archive-server >> Subject: help I suspect that there is some sort of problem with my return path. Can I manually insert a return path? What should I check in my sendmail.cf file? We are a leaf node connect via uucp to philabs. I've always assumed that philabs builds the proper return path; How can I verify this? Does the return path of this message look OK? Thanks for your time.

Someone there should do something about that. This will certainly confuse the archive server (it doesn't know who to send the replies to). You can specify an explicit path for the archive server with a "path" line. Try adding "path ppgbms!paul@philabs.philips.com" to your requests. --wnl ]]
