Hi Bruce !

        If you want the PATH program I was talking Terry Dun about, you may just make a file request here for the magic name PATH and you should get PATHS1B.ZIP.

    I'm am using PCTEX for typesetting on an IBM PC, and would like to connect with other users. I have been using Personal TEX's versions for a number of years and use it frequently. While my level of compentency is probably at a middle level, I could use some advise from time to time. 

    A recent acquisition was their Capture program, and I am having trouble getting smaller images lined up in two columns. Drop me a line if you have a similar interest.

Yes, the scheduling can be difficult!  But most of the families are 
able to be on the same track if they want to.(We have a few families 
that choose to have kids on different tracks so they can have 
different kids home at any particular time!)  About the only ones that 
have little choice are those regristering real late.  Other wise it is

In fact, Ed, you are correct.  The preferred method is to use the period.  This 
allows UFGATE (which I and several other gateways run) to separate the name and 
produce a proper Fidonet-addressed message.  Other forms will still make it to 
the destination, but the intended recipient probably won't be able to read it 
if the <privileged | private> bit is set.  By the way, you can generally leave 
off the "p0." part of the address, as Internet addresses are heirarchical.

Hi Chris,
Great!  I will be starting in a few weeks as I still do not have my 
a modem for my class.  I am able to bring my home's modem to school 
once in a while though.  I also want to teach my kids about 
telecommunications so they know what they're doing. I think it's 
neat that each of your kids has an account on the FIDO NET, our 
local BBS only allows for one person per phone line however so I 
think most of our letters will be written on the word processor 
first and then downloaded all at once. 
At the present I have 25 students and I am sure would all like to 
receive mail.  Would your kids be willing to write to two of my kids 
each?  (That sounds pretty strange!)  Also would you direct me as to 
how to use your FIDO Address?  I am still unfamiliar with so  many 
aspects of telecommunications.  Do I just use it when the computer 
prompts me for TO:?  
Sorry I don't have a class list.  It's Monday morning and I am at my 
home but I eill get it to you as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Rick

Organization: FidoNet node 1:381/89 - Wolverine BBS, El Paso TX

Thanks to those who took the time to contact me regarding logistic 
problems with the MathMagic timelines.....MathMagic has incorporated 
some very important changes into it's basic guidelines.  THe first 
problem cycle has been extended to six weeks running from Sept. 8 to 
Oct. 16.  This will allow for new telecommunicators to become 
acquainted with the program.  IN addition, this timeline allows 
teachers greater flexibility in incorporating MathMagic into thier 
schedules.  Finally, this also allows more time for students to enter 
and receive messages which they can now give more thought to.  Also, 
MathMagic has opened it's doors to students/sponsors who cannot join 
us via telecommunications with the acceptance of general mail 
submissions of problems.  If you know of a teacher who is interested, 
please ask them to register with me either on Channel 2 or via general 
post.  THey need to get the problem from channel 2 (or someone gets it 
for them) and have their kids work it out and write it out formally 
for submission with a postmark no later than Oct. 16.    In this way, 
MathMagic can reach as many students as possible.  If you have any 
further suggestions or comments, please do not hesitate to forward 
them to me.  I am only to glad to make MathMagic something that works 
for you!  As this is a new and evolving program, I really appreciate 
the ideas!  thanks, CArol

If you are interested in a corresponding with a diverse group, we'd be interested.

DH>Hey all you teachers who are waking up from summer vacation!  Please read
DH>message #490 and respond.  We are three teachers working on a
DH>masters degree and need your help.

Debbie-

Just some technical clarification....

Every BBS has it's own message numbering sequence which changes
daily as new messages are received and older ones are purged. For
example, message #490 on my BBS here is in the AQUARIUM conference
and deals with sick guppies. Tomorrow #490 will be some other
message. There is no connection between #490 on your BBS and #490 on
any other BBS in the world.

When referring to another message, it's best to indicate the date,
who it was from or to and the dubject heading. Also, _be_sure_ to
indicate the name of the conference.

Another, perhaps more efficient methodology is to reply-quote enough
of that message in your current message to carry the thread of the
conversation forward (as I have above). The important thing in this
case is NOT to quote the entire message. Just quote enough of it so
that people will know what you're talking about. Remember, the more
you quote, the more every sysop in the world will have to pay to
cost of echoing it. We're happy to have you reply-quote as much as
necessary, but it is considered improper "netiqette" to quote the
whole message if unncessary.

Hope this helps....

John, Yes it seems it is a misprint. Guess I've never seen the  origin
line before.  Fir Island is all below sea level, and the settlers chopped
all the marvelous trees years ago.  We're about 60 miles north of Seattle,
in case you're trying to find us on a map (La Conner), and we're in great
debt to our SYSOP at the Hole who makes this connection possible.  I
assume the Hole is a reference to the dike around the island.  A couple of
years ago, the river decided to take its old course through it, and the
island was flooded.  Many homes and crops were lost, but all survived.
Kind of a long speil for a capital I?  ...Tom

Hello Michael.  I'm providing technology support at two wlwmwntary schools this
year ("wlwwntary" is code for elementary - My fingers just aren't ready for
this so early in the morning). There has been numerous staffing changes due
to the opening of a new school. So, I know that there will be interest in penpal
exchanges but it may take some time to organize it.  I also need to order some
new modems.  I'll get back to you  sometime in early October.  Talk to you then.

This is the first year of middle schools (6-8) here in the city
of Virginia Beach, VA.  We have spent the past two years or so
planning for the inplementation of the program.  We will have,
when implementation is complete in another year, 11 middle
schools instead of 7-9 junior high schools.  I am an assistant
principal at a newly constructed middle school facility.  We
have about 1800 6th-8th grade students.

From what I understand, most of curricular changes dealt with
approach and methods rather than content.  More hands on, group
work, cooperative learning, etc. is included.

If your friend has any more specific questions, please feel
free to e-mail me or post right here.

By the way, prior to moving to the new school, I was a central
office person working on the division's middle school plan.

In my classroom, I'm using Atari 800XL computers (about $60US at
flea markets or used), 1050 floppy disk drives ($50 to 90),
Atari SX212 1200 baud modems ($30 new) and monochrome (b/w) tv
or composite color monitors.  An entire terminal can be put
together for <$200, and it is also useful for CAI.  Good comm
programs include SX212 Express and BobTerm (both are
shareware... pay what you will).  Contact me for more info on
"cheap" systems.
