The following message was received by the moderator of
misc.healines.unitex this morning; originated from
NEW-LIST - New List Announcements <NEW-LIST@NDSUVM1>
QUAKE-L@NDSUVM1 QUAKE-L@VM1.NoDak.EDU
After hearing about the earthquake in the San Francisco, California
area this evening I have been wondering if there are ways the various
national and international computer networks can help or the help can
be enhanced.
Perhaps this is best carried out privately or via other means. But
if people want to discuss this I am willing to provide a list for
that. Of course one of the basic problems discussed might be network
reconfigura- tions which would be temporarily required. Others might
be in actually putting various groups in electronic contact with each
other.
In the event specific things need to be discussed outside
established lists I have set up QUAKE-L here as a public mailing list.
You may subscribe to the list by sending a message or e-mail to
LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 on BITNET or LISTSERV@VM1.NoDak.EDU on the Internet.
On the first line of the text or body of the mail enter the subscribe
command:
SUB QUAKE-L yourfirstname yourlastname
NOTE: Please be sure to send commands to LISTSERV and NOT to the list!!!
Public notebooks for the list will be available from LISTSERV, can be
searched with the LISTSERV database facility (send LISTSERV the command
info database for details), and are available via anonymous FTP from
VM1.NoDak.EDU (134.129.111.1) after entering CD LISTARCH (use DIR QUAKE-L.*
to see any notebooks/archives).
I realize this may be a list without any use, but I wanted to make the
facility available in the event the need arises. I am sure folks in the
area of the earthquake have very pressing needs on their mind right now
like trying to gather their families. If there are ways those of us outside
the area can help I am sure we would like to do what we can.
