This is to announce formation of a network user group for Xerox 1100 workstations (Dolphins). Its purpose is to stimulate communication and sharing between computer science research groups that are using or are interested in these machines. It differs from the WORKS group in that it will focus on issues particular to Dolphins rather than on workstations in general. Xerox PARC and EOS people are included in the distribution list to facilitate communications about new developments, bugs, performance issues, etc. As with all network interest groups, however, this is *NOT* to be used as a vendor advertising vehicle. User Group Mechanics -- 1) Network Addresses: Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM For mail distributed to the entire user group Dolphin-Requests@SUMEX-AIM For distribution list maintenance, i.e., additions, deletions, problems, etc. 2) Mail Handling: SUMEX-AIM will serve as the expansion point for routing messages to group members. We run XMAILR and so can route between most of the current internet community. 3) Administration: Initially, messages will be sent to the list as submitted. Depending on the volume of mail, content, etc., messages may be collected and digested in the future. I have assembled a list of known Dolphin users and liaisons from various sources for this initial announcement. Please pass the word on to others you think might be interested. Tom R. -------
