It's that time again (time for me to handle billions and billions of requests, that is :) /*****************************************************************************/ About... The Think C electronic mailing list -------------------------------------------- This list has been created to discuss topics of interest among users of Symantec's Think C compiler for the Macintosh personal computer. These topics include: o programming tips and examples o discussion of compiler bugs and/or misfeatures and workarounds o questions related to programming the Macintosh with Think C and/or object-oriented programming One request: if someone submits a question on something that seems simple to you, please remember that it will seem simple to many of the other 200+ subscribers to the list. Please reply to the sender directly unless you feel it is warranted to broadcast the reply. The person who submitted the question is urged to followup at some time in the future with a summary of responses, so others who might be interested can see what the solution was. This simple rule will prevent much of the chaff that is present on many mailing lists and newsgroups. Requests for addition/deletion/address/questions changes should be sent to: think-c-request@ics.uci.edu Submissions to the list should be sent to: think-c@ics.uci.edu About... The Think C Archive ---------------------------- An archive of submitted source code and other packages related to Think C is available from ics.uci.edu via two transfer methods: o anonymous ftp to ics.uci.edu (128.195.1.1) o automated e-mail archive server on ics.uci.edu The archive is stored in /mac/think-c for ftp. To use the archive server, send mail to: archive-server@ics.uci.edu Extensive help is available for this server by using a subject consisting of the word "help." For there, you should be able to determine how to navigate the archive. Submissions to the list may be accomplished in one of two ways: o use anonymous ftp to drop the submission in /incoming on ics.uci.edu and send a note to think-c-request summarizing the submission. o use electronic mail to send the submission to think-c-request. After the submission has been moved to the proper directory in the archive, a notice will be sent to the list describing the new addition(s) to the archive. These notices will always have subject headers of the form 'ARCHIVE: xxx', where xxx is a brief description of the new addition.
