Hello. We are interested in seeing what we can do as far as having a "white pages" for folks here at Yale University. I would like to know if anyone might have information regarding server and/or client software. This would be a way for someone sitting at their Mac (or other platform) composing an e-mail memo to look up the address of a collegue or someone else who is registered with the server. Is anyone doing this sort of thing at their site? Thanks. [ Yale University Computer Center ] Peter Furmonavicius [ 175 Whitney Avenue ] Senior Research Programmer [ P.O.

We are using the "White Pages" Name Server (you can give it another name) that comes with CE Software's QuickMail. The server is an INIT that runs in the background on any Mac. The NameFinder is a small INIT that implements the client side. The user interface for it is built into QuckMail. It works very well. The name server can be set to periodically scan all mail center user lists and update its database automatically. You can also define and add your own fields to the database. Wolfgang N.

The U of Minn also has an address finder (called, strangely enough, address finder). It's a Hypercard stack that implements a client of the UIUC CSU Nameserver program. The Nameserver was written by the great Steve Dorner and is ftp-able (I don't know the address offhand- maybe csu.uiuc.edu?), and the client is ftp-able from boombox.micro.umn.edu (under pub/addfinder). good luck.

The CSO Nameserver is on uxc.cso.uiuc.edu, in the net/qi subdirectory. Eudora, my mail program, also knows how to talk to the nameserver. Eudora you get from ux1.cso.uiuc.edu, in the mac/eudora subdirectory. (Yes, ux1 and uxc are two different machines, not typos, and the "1" is NOT a lower-case "L", it's a one.) -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner
