You probably noticed the embedded shell commands in this digest. As you
might have guessed, this will allow folks to un-digestify (regurgitate?) the
contents of this digest into separate files. The filenames appear at the
end of each line in the table of contents.
Items of general interest to the digest will have 1-14 character filenames,
with a leading CAPITAL to force it to the front of a listing. Items
specific to the particular version/volume will be prefixed with an
identifier like "v00.00:".
To use this feature, save the article in your favorite LAN Digest directory
with the "s" command, then later type "sh article" on the saved article.
With luck and a working shell, you will be left with some files that you can
do with what you like. To save disk space, you are admonished to remove the
original article after regurgitation.

Most of the following is plagiarized from a letter addressed to me (rjk)
from Dick Cogger at Cornell University. Many of you may have already seen
this letter. If not, please contact Dick at the address below.
The first meeting of the "Sytek Network User's Group" will be held in
Mountain View, California on June 5-8, 1983. An organizing committee was
formed, consisting of seven members: Dick Cogger of Cornell University
(chairman), Scott Lathrop of the University of Illinois, Jeff Lederer of
Gulf Oil, Tom Madron of North Texas State University, Dennis Nicols of the
University of Wisconsin, Bill Shipp of Brown University, and Scott Spielman
of Sytek.
The agenda for the meeting looks great, with loads of interesting topics,
presentations, and a tour of the Sytek facility. The organizing committee
has obviously worked had on the project - it will be a meeting that
shouldn't be missed.

The following comes from Electronic News magazine, as typed by Genny Johnson
(mhuxh!rdlib) for the bell.compete newsgroup.
"Sytek, General Instrument and Intel have agreed to work jointly on
the design of a VLSI-based communications controller circuit for
broadband local area networks using carrier sense multiple access with
collision detection (CSMA/CD) techniques."

This list of users comes to you completely unsorted, with all USENET
addresses referenced to site "we13". As you may note, a good many of the
addresses contain site "harpo" which, as discussed, has been getting
overworked. I welcome all corrections, deletions, and additions to this
list, as well as alternate path specifications. - rjk
