[news.software.nn] NN patch archives

nn-arc@stiatl.UUCP (NN Archives) (01/23/90)

Welcome to the USA East Coast NN Archive.  This system is maintained
by Paul Anderson (emory!stiatl!pda).  If you have repeated problems
with the archive, contact me at that address or at (404) 841-4000.  
I will pull up the log of your request and try to help you out.  
I am usually in from noon to 6 pm US Eastern Standard Time (17:00 
to 21:00 GMT/CUT).

This is the general help message. It is being sent to you because 
you requested help or improperly formatted a message.

The NN archive sources were provided directly by Kim Storm.
(storm@texas.dk).

The NN Archive server is an automatic server, so it may be a
little cumbersome at times.  In particular, sometimes the mailer 
here is unable to 'R'eply to your message: my mailer tends to be
a little brain-dead.  If you do not get your request back from 
the archive within 24 hours, the request was lost in transit 
somewhere.  If this occurs, you can provide an explicit path to 
be used to route the request back to you.  Put the following line 
in the body of your message, beginning at column 0:

Send-To: path-from-me-to-you

ie:

Send-To: emory!texas.dk!storm

This explicit path will then be used for your request.  Note that the
path *must* begin with emory, since this is the major node we connect
to.
