One of the ways in which they plan to combat this % is to limit the number of addresses for any one mailing to 10. This will % create problems for TeXhax subscribers on BITNET, as the distribution list % currently shows 160 BITNET entries that use WISCVM.WISC.EDU. % % I have a request in to the BITNET folks, asking about ways I can re-route % some of the TeXhax BITNET mail. However, it may be some time before they % are able to get back to me. % % If you are on BITNET and can get TeXhax via local distribution, please % send a note to texhax-request@score.stanford.edu so that I can take your % name off the list and lighten the WISCVM load. It would also help if % I can send you your TeXhax issues via some relay other than WISCVM % (such as FORSYTHE.STANFORD.EDU). % % thanks Malcolm % ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Dec 86 15:12 ??? >From: "Jeannette V." To: texhax@SU-SCORE.ARPA Subject: texhax issue 13 (Mark Scherfling info on 3820 driver) I purchased IBM VM/CMS TeX 2.0 from Maria Code and included on the first tape were utilities to interface TeX to the IBM 3800 Model 3 and the 3820. We have not yet implemented these utilities, but we plan to. The tape was $82 and included TeX, Metafont and other utilities and took a total of 50 cylinders to load the entire tape.

An experimental archive server has been installed so that non-Internet users can obtain files via email. Here are the instructions. %%%%% An experimental archive server for LaTeX style files has been installed. Requests in the form of email to LaTeX-Style@rochester.arpa (LaTeX-Style@cs.rochester.edu, ..!rochester!latex-style) will cause files from the collection to be sent to you. The format of a request is: Subject line should contain the phrase "@file request". Body of the mail should start with a line containing only an @ (at) sign. (Important!) The first line following should be a mail address FROM rochester TO you. (Undeliverable mail will be silently dropped on the floor.) Then follow by the names of the files you want, either one to each line, or many to each line, separated by spaces. End with a line containing only an @ sign. Case is not significant. Do not include any messages in the mail. It will not be seen by human eyes. Allow some time for delivery as the server is actually an offline batch program. Files will be sent in batches, not exceeding 64kbytes in size to survive mailers. %%%%% Ken LaTeX-Style@Rochester.Arpa LaTeX-Style@cs.rochester.edu ..!rochester!latex-style ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Dec 86 14:36:03 MEZ >From: Z3000PA%AWITUW01.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU (Hubert Partl - Techn.
