If you haven't received a reply to a query sent more than 2 weeks ago, please resend it. It's possible we've lost it in the shuffle or in a disk crash. To clear up the request mail, I've let the archives slide for a while. Catching up on that is the next order of business (over 7MB of binaries as of today--ouch!). I will try (with emphasis on "try"--I sometimes forget) to send a "receipt" signifying when all parts of your postings reach Sumex, but that does NOT mean I've archived it yet. It just means it reached here. For now, please assume that anything you've already sent made it here safely. I don't want to have to weed through two copies of everything because I'm behind on receipts. Jon Pugh and I hold down fulltime jobs unrelated to Info-Mac, so you may never see incredible turnaround times on requests or postings. When do we handle Info-Mac? On the weekends mostly. I sometimes login during the weekday evenings since some requests seem urgent, but I usually can't stay on for too many hours (I like to eat and sleep occasionally). Info-Mac is something we volunteer to do because we believe in its value. We have our good days and our bad days just like everyone else. I have no idea how long we will last, but I'll probably keep at it until I croak or leave Stanford, whichever comes first. I'm told that Sumex is "half way through a 5-year phaseout." What does that mean for Info-Mac? I don't know, but perhaps something can be arranged since the computing resources provided by the Sumex DEC-2060 will later be provided by a Sun-4 and Mac IIs running A/UX. I'll do what I can to stay on top of this story, especially if Info-Mac must leave Stanford. Administrivia: o Anything you want placed in an Info-Mac Digest (including binaries) should be mailed to Info-Mac@Sumex-Aim.Stanford.Edu. Everything else should go to Info-Mac-Request@Sumex-Aim.Stanford.Edu. o Some Bitnet sites were cut off by a combination of two things: OREGON1 is no longer an Info-Mac hub AND Stanford's Bitnet list disappeared when the forwarding computer changed. With the help of Mark Williamson at Rice University, we are slowly fixing things and hopefully making them easier to administer.
