Note to the Players
-------------------

Thanks to you all for giving us such a good demonstration of
how it's done.  For those of you requesting your individual
scores, they're done, but I'm leaving for Denver tonight.  I
will mail them to you on Wed night (1/27).

Total entries: 18

My Comments about this Hunt
---------------------------
1.There were some tricky moments for me in this Hunt.  I set
myself up for some tough questions that I'm still tracking
down.  If anyone can provide more illumination on why Giovanni
De Poli's appears to have 5 email addresses, or the Toyota
question, fire me off a message and I'll summarize.

2.It's becoming more difficult to grade certain types of
responses.  Some players used a local Turbo gopher client to
connect to their home gopher server.  This made it tough to
retrace as I don't know where their home gopher is.  While I
could manage it (because I know the answers!), it may be
difficult for others to follow their searches.

What I'm thinking of doing next month is asking players to
double check that they are including the hostname and port for
their home gopher server so that others can follow in their
footsteps.

3. Since I've included all the answers for both classes of
winners, and I really want to include other good answers, the
size of this document is getting out of hand.  What I think
I'll do from now on, is just pick out a few answers for each
question that are good, or clever, or illuminate some little
known method for wrestling with the dreaded Net-Beast! :-)

Very Inventive Veronica
-----------------------
Veronica now has boolean searching capabilities.  Precedence is
left-to-right, with no nesting operators.  It is
case-independent.  When you access Veronica read the About file
for explanations.

When I tried it, a search on

   christmas

...yielded 90 entries, and a search on

   christmas and tree

...yielded 33 entries, and they looked right.

Thanks to D.G. Gilbert, and the folks at U.N. Reno for the
extra functionality.

Another Home for the Hunt
-------------------------
Many thanks to the folks at CICNet as they have provided me
with a Gopher for Hunt distribution.  Now, rather than having
to wait for mail and usnet messages to percolate to them,
players can grab the Hunt questions mere seconds after I make
them available.

The CICNet gopher is available on that long list of US
gophers.  If you prefer to point your users directly to it (my
preference, certainly), here are the details:

Name=The Internet Hunt
Type=1
Port=70
Path=1/hunt
Host=gopher.cic.net

Note: It looks like the Hunt is not accessible via Veronica yet.

So now, without further delay, here are:

Other Answers

   The strict answer is no (no IP connection). The users answer is: yes,
   you can send mail to them. I found no references in the usual databases
   (nic.ddn.mil etc) but there is a domain called toyota.co.jp belonging to
   the Toyota Motor Corporation. It can be found by telnetting to
   nnsc.nsf.net (Q10), logging in as wais and selecting the uumap.src
   database. Then you can search for toyota.
   (Short answer: use the wais source uumap.src to search for toyota ;-)
