hello NetFolks !
i would introduce some points
I am French , i like comp.sys.next but sometimes it s difficult for me to read
some messages since writers use some technical words or acronyms they don t
explain in their posting: IHMO, SLIP, ASAP(i found the meaning of this one :-)..
I don t knowwhether or not i am the only one in that case...but i would love
to find a word of explanation whenever there are used.
I know most of the readers are Americans, so try to make a *small* effort
to give ALL users a chance to understand what you re saying in your post.
comments are welcome :)
(no flame please)
I would also announce that a new server (dedicated to the NeXT) will appear
in the next few weeks. Its goal is to provide support for developpers
by giving info, products and CLASSES to YOU
Also, i start to collect CLASSES from developpers. The aim here is to build
the biggest library of class ....so i need you to feed it !
Please answer to phil@cnam.cnam.fr
A NeXT developper
Phil
ps: cnam.cnam.fr will e the address or the server as well...
and...sorry for my bad english ! :)bob@MorningStar.Com (Bob Sutterfield) (11/14/90)

IHMO,
"In My Humble Opinion," often written as a disclaimer when someone
doesn't really know what they're talking about.
SLIP,
Serial Line Internet Protocol, as documented in RFC 1055. It has been
superceded by PPP, the more general Point to Point Protocol, as
documented in RFCs 1171 and 1172. They're both ways of shipping IP
packets over serial lines, such as modems.
ASAP(i found the meaning of this one :-)..
As Soon As Possible.

Good point. Some newsgroups that use acronym-rich jargon have begun
encouraging posters to include brief glossaries at the end of their
articles. The practice is greatly appreciated by newcomers.
