It would be nice it you could simply post the Tech Notes to this
forum. If there is going to lots of them, we could always have a
comp.unix.amiga.notes :-)

Yes, many others didn't manage to catch that at the last moment. Next time I'll have to put lots of stars and arrows around the "US mail" so people will be sure to see it. :-) > Hmm...that's not what I was looking for - so, tough C=-guys - what > about posting the TechNotes here ? The TechNotes is a paper publication, desktop published, sent to the printer, with graphics and pictures and nice fonts. Cramming it into an ASCII post would be possible, but it seems to make more sense to just respond to technical questions that come up here. I favor email over paper mail myself, but it's no trouble to *receive* paper mail, only to send it. Or so I thought... Rich -- Rich Skrenta skrenta@cbmvax.commodore.com

So what do those of us outside the US do about recieving these Tech Notes? Will Commodore in other countries be making them availiable?

1. Tech Notes volume 1 has been mailed. Send us your OLD FASHIONED HARD COPY PAPER MAIL address if you want to be on the mailing list for future issues. If you've already sent us your address, you don't need to send it again. 2. Tech Notes will be mailed to anyone who requests it, in any country. Commodore offices in various countries will also have copies to distribute as they see fit, but we'll answer any requests we receive through tn@amix.commodore.com ourselves. 3. Tech Notes most likely will not be posted on the net. It is not intended as an interactive forum of late-breaking information and answers. It is a regular printed publication. I expect that technical exchanges on comp.unix.amiga will continue, and don't expect Tech Notes to be part of that exchange or to influence it in any way. Nobody expects us to post our manuals, or our software upgrades, on the net; same should apply to Tech Notes. 4. Tech Notes is a technical document, published and distributed in our more-or-less free time by the UNIX engineering group. We have nothing to do with sales and marketing, so please don't send requests for marketing literature and other types of questions to tn@amix.commodore.com. The only purpose for this address is to manage the Tech Notes mailing list. Contact Commodore's marketing department if you want to buy or discuss Amiga UNIX and the 3000UX. 5. As before, the way to get on the Tech Notes mailing address is to send your PRINTED MAIL (the kind that requires stamps and envelopes) to tn@amix.commodore.com. -- Richard Buck, (215) 344-3019, buck@amix.commodore.com (1/91)

I just received my Tech Notes on Saturday. Me and my roommate both felt that the included color-glossy-sales brochures were quite pavlovian (IE, they made us drool.. :) Quite a professional job folks... thanks. (This event also coincided with the purchase, by above roommate, of the premier issue of NeXTWorld. A slick and glossy rag. An EXTREMELY slick and glossy rag. Even so, roommate is undecided which he wants.) Amazing what a little gloss can do for an opinion... -Dan -- Daniel C. Richardson Rochester Institute Of Technology / Mechanical Engineering Dept.
