Subject:      Resources for Volunteers

Recently I've been doing some consulting with a volunteer organization
called Prasad, which has been doing many projects in India in the
areas of family health, eye care, nutrition, clean water and education.
They periodically put on one of the larger free eye camps in India,
where cataract blindness causes extreme hardship for millions of
people.  They also run a mobile hospital & a milk distribution
program, and consult in rural water development and appropriate
energy technology and community development.  Prasad is currently
expanding to consider taking on projects of an educational or
development nature in a variety of other countries.

Much of what I suggested to them is that they would do well to use
the internet to be in communication with and share resources with
other volunteer organizations around the world.

Naturally they wanted me to provide a listing of other groups or
email forums and lists that they could or should contact.

I can pick various potentially useful names off the global list
of the internet, but really I don't know which ones are the
most comprehensive and useful.  As I thought about it, I realized
than many others might be interested in a well annotated listing
of the various volunteer type forums, resources and lists
available via the internet directly and through Compuserve and
privately administered email bulletin boards as well.  It seems
like students and teachers at various levels might be interested
in having such information.

Does anyone know if such a listing already exists?  If not, if those
of you who do follow such lists would give me your comments on them,
I'll try to compile an initial version.

I did recently pick up the book Ecolinking by Don Ritter, which I'm
enjoying very much.  But its emphasis is primarily ecology, and so
it seems to miss many of the resources which might be relevant to
people engaged in volunteer projects in general.

Thanks for your input,

    To any interested parties,

      There is now a file at internet site pilot.njin.net that lists all
  the currently active enews discussion groups with a one line description
  of most of them. It is available via anonymous ftp and can be found in
  /njin/public/ftp/pub/Internet-course and is called enews.lst - notice the
  capital I in Internet-course, this is a case sensitive server. Also note
  when you ftp in you should already be in the ftp directory.

Subject:      Re: Mac LC II and Apple IIe software

Organization: University of Nebraska at Omaha

The hardware needed to run Apple Ii software on a Macintosh LC or LC II is
 called the "Apple IIe card". It is about $193.00 from an Authorized Apple
 Education Reseller.
It plugs into the only slot available on the Macinosh LC II and does
require a 5.25" external drive for the ability to read 5.25" diskettes.
It is not necessary to purchase the 5.25" drive if only 3.5" diskettes will be
 used.
(You can use an Apple II GS to move the media from the 5.25" to the 3.5"
 diskettes. Some copy protected programs may not allow this.
Contact your local Apple Education Dealer for details.

1.     Knowledge and skill in operating a computer using a library of generic
programs as determined by requirements of each discipline.

2.     Knowledge of various ethical and social issues, in general, and in
greater depth, issues determined by requirements of each discipline, relating
to computer use.

3.     A functional level of knowledge for the use of computers as an aid to
problem solving, and roles of computers as a source of problems as deemed
appropriate by each discipline students study in school.

4.     Knowledge and skills in computer programming using a high level language
as deemed appropriate or not by requirements of each discipline.

I have only been working with Authorware Professional for a few months
but I have not been able make the software go to a previous screen so
that a user can review a concept, etc.

I am hoping that someone has come up with a solution to this problem.

Also I would like to try to establish an Authorware listserv so that
people who use the program or those considering using the program can
collaborate.  What steps do I need to take in trying to do this?

computer-mediated communication (CMC).  This list (Release 1.6)
is available via anonymous ftp from:

        host: ftp.rpi.edu
        file: pub/communications/internet-cmc

The purpose of this file is to list pointers to information describing
the Internet, computer networks, and issues related to computer-mediated
communication (CMC).  Topics of interest include the technical,
social, cognitive, and psychological aspects of CMC.

I would greatly appreciate suggestions for improving this file or
expanding the list of information sources contained in it.

This file might help those getting started in understanding the
Internet and CMC; it compactly summarizes sources of information for
those who are already exploring these issues.

Contents:
        Section -1- THE INTERNET AND SERVICES
        Section -2- INFORMATION SERVICES/ELECTRONIC PUBLICATIONS
        Section -3- SOCIETIES AND ORGANIZATIONS
        Section -4- NEWSGROUPS
        Section -5- SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY

I'm working on this information as part of an independent study project;
I'll update the file periodically.

Subject: Re: RAID Systems for LANs and RS/6000
Organization: Mail to News Gateway at Wang Labs
Date: 15 Sep 92 10:55:54 EST

Regarding John Scoggin's request for information on RAID systems for
VINES, Storage Computer of Nashua, N.H. will be showing its new high
performance RAID 7 disk array platforms at the September Banyan Users
Meeting.  They work equally well with NetWare, the RS/6000 and the AS/400.

Standards-based, RAID 7 is designed for enterprise-wide computing and
overcomes performance limitations of earlier RAID architectures, providing
a  "real world sustained application performance improvement of 200% to
400%" and dropping the cost of storage to 16 cents/MB.  Their brochures
say they can "mix and match" up to 48 SCSI commodity (3.5 or 5.25 inch)
drives, up to 150 GB.  The RAID 7 disk array platforms come with an embedded
operating system and up to 12 SCSI-2 based host interfaces.  Besides servers,
Storage Computer's RAID 7 disk array platforms can connect to workstations
and midrange systems in addition to IBM's.  Multiple CPUs can be attached to
same disk array platform.

The RAID 7 platforms come with up to 256 MB of cache, eliminating any
reason for using performance-damaging CPU main memory disk RAM.

The drives are "hot plugable" for uninterrupted, transparent operation,
with a hot standby drive automatically replacing a failed drive.

(I haven't yet seen these RAID 7 disk array platforms in operation myself,
but expect to visit the Storage Computer booth at BUI.)

For further information prior to the Banyan User Meeting, the contact is
indicated to be John O'Brien, Director of Technical Services, at
Tel. 603-880-3005 or FAX 603-889-7232.

SUBJECT:  RUNSTATS Against DB2 Catalog

Jeanne,

Running with SYSADM privilege, I was able to do RUNSTATS against a DB2
catalog table.  I used Platinum Utilities to generate the following control
statement:

RUNSTATS TABLESPACE DSNDB06.SYSCOPY SHRLEVEL REFERENCE

According to the DB2 Command and Utility Reference, the only restriction
is that RUNSTATS is not allowed against the DB2 directory (DSNDB01) or
the work database (DSNDB07).

   My manual says LOAD and REORG utilities are not allowed against DSNDB01 or

for RUNSTATS on the catalog and directory.

     I was trying to run RUNSTATS on the DB2 catalog as recommended in
     the Performance and Tuning Guide (pg. 7-38 - DB2 2.2). I got an
     error message DSNU64I - Utility not allowed against system database.

     Has anyone been able to successfully do a RUNSTATS against the

You cannot transfer files from your temp disk to a PC when you are
trying to initiate the transfer from the PC end of things.  If you
initiate the transfer from the CMS end of things using the Trivial File
Transfer Protocol method (tftp) you will be able to transfer the file
(albeit slowly) from the 'frame to the PC.  Note that if the file is
binary, you will need to do a MODE OCTET first as the BIN command is not
