I have uploaded a program [source and executable] onto netlab2.usu.edu
	It's called allnets.zip

This produces a list (one per line) of the Novell Networks visible to
the nearest router/fileserver to where the PC is attached. I Normally
run this through an AWK script to produce some meaningful output/ work

In reality I use it to create a directory (SYS:LOCAL/%NETWORK_NUMBER)
where configuration files local to that network are stored. Eg:
Printcon.dat ----> configuration of the printers nearest to the PC
NET.CFG      ----> location of the local IP router, for LanWorkplace for DOS
 ....

I ordered some copies of the new, second edition of Networking
With Banyan VINES, by Edwin Laubach many many months ago.  The
copies have just arrived so apparently they are now doing volume
shipping.

Copies are available from Tab Books at (717) 794-2191.

Subject:      Apologies re: InterMeta course

PLEASE DO NOT SEND MONEY !
It is with regret that I perform this task. Dr. Gelson V. Gomes. a
professor of the University of Parana, Brazil, has exceeded this
privileges and announced a eletronic course:

> ____________________________________________________________
>        Mastering INTERNET Tools, Seizing METANET Power -
>                      The InterMeta Course
> ____________________________________________________________

I must apologize for this flagrant breach of network etiquette. Please
be aware that Dr. Gelson had no right to do so, since this is against
the rules of our ANSP network, and also against the Bitnet rules.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND MONEY!
I will not discuss what his motivations were. But his account has been
revoked, and there will be no such course through my network.

Please write by normal mail, to:
- -> Gelson V. Gomes
- -> 358, R. Alvaro Andrade - ap.1201
- -> Curitiba PR BRAZIL 80610-240
to get more information on his objectives. He may want to give the
course by normal mail.  :-)

With regards,
