    Eastern European Business Network (E-EUROPE)

    E-EUROPE is the electronic communications network for studying the
    CEE/CIS (Central and Eastern Europe/Commonwealth of Independent States)
    business and economic systems. Its purpose is to help these countries in
    their transition to market economies. It links academics, students,
    researchers and business practitioners in Western Europe-Asia-North
    America with those in the CEE/CIS.

    E-EUROPE allows transmission of electronic mail and files worldwide (via
    Bitnet, Internet, Junet, Compuserve, MCI Mail, etc.). Subscription is
    free and open to anyone who can access a BITNET or INTERNET electronic
    address. While E-EUROPE is located on a mainframe computer, anyone with
    a personal computer and modem may gain access.

    E-EUROPE provides information exchange via e-mail and also provides
    document/file transfers between E-EUROPE subscribers. A subscriber is
    anyone who has requested an E-EUROPE subscription by sending a message
    to the communications management software (called LISTSERV) located on
    the mainframe computer at Princeton University, USA. Please
    do not send your subscription request to E-EUROPE.

    The subscriber list is not open for public review in order to prevent
    "junk e-mail" sent to individual subscribers. One may request to be
    contacted by posting a message on the network.

    A. Policy Statement: E-EUROPE Activities
       E-EUROPE is a "business and economics" communications network for
       CEE/CIS. Any activity by E-EUROPE subscribers which would normally be
       conducted between business and economics faculty, students, and
       business practictioners is allowed and encouraged, and definitely not
       restricted in any manner. The faculty and students of colleges of
       business at the university level are expected and required to closely
       interact and assist the business community. Therefore, as E-EUROPE
       editor and as a full-time business faculty member, I welcome and
       encourage full E-EUROPE participation from the business community.

    B. Present Activities of E-EUROPE

       1. E-mail
          Once a user subscribes to E-EUROPE, (s)he may send mail to the
          list for distribution to all its members. All members of the
          mailing list will receive a copy of each piece of mail sent to the
          list. All of the mail that is received and redistributed by the
          list is cataloged and stored in a database that can be searched or
          retrieved by individuals with access to E-EUROPE.

          In order to prevent "rapid-fire" random e-mail transmissions, all
          messages are relayed to the E-EUROPE editor for a once-daily
          (maximum) batch mail release. In addition, each subscriber may
          disable the automatic E-EUROPE e-mail transmission to their site
          and download logfiles of each month's traffic.

       2. E-EUROPE Filelist
          Datafiles are available for downloading. The objective is to
          develop a clearinghouse of information on the business and
          economic systems of Eastern European countries.

          To receive the current listing of files, send the following to the
          LISTSERV (not to E-EUROPE), with the following:
          GET E-EUROPE FILELIST

          a) File Downloads
             GET filename filetype E-EUROPE

             For example,
             GET E-EUROPE INTRO E-EUROPE

          b) File subscriptions
             Specialized information or information which is too large for
             normal e-mail is placed in E-EUROPE datafiles for downloading
             by subscribers. The file E-EUROPE INDEX contains a
             listing of the current datafiles.

             You may "subscribe" to a datafile in one of two ways: 1)
             automatic downloading of the entire file to your address with
             each update; 2) automatic notification that the file has been
             updated. You may terminate this file subscription upon demand.

             Send the following to the LISTSERV (not to E-EUROPE) at PUCC:

             1) To download one file, one time, without subscribing:
                GET filename filetype E-EUROPE

                Example,
                GET E-EUROPE INDEX E-EUROPE

             2) To receive automatic file downloads (AFD=automatic file
                distribution) upon file updates:
                AFD ADD filename filetype E-EUROPE

                Example:
                AFD ADD E-EUROPE INDEX E-EUROPE

             3) To cancel automatic file downloads:
                AFD DEL filename filetype E-EUROPE

             4) To receive automatic file update information (FUI):
                FUI ADD filename filetype E-EUROPE

             5) To cancel automatic file update information:
                FUI DEL filename filetype E-EUROPE

             6) To receive a list of files to which you are subscribed:
                AFD LIST
                or
                FUI LIST

       3. Potential/Future Activities
          a) electronic business newsletter
          b) electronic user directories
          c) bibliographies of current business research
          d) research on business activities (exports, imports, or direct
             investment)
          e) job bank

    C. Subscription to E-EUROPE
