It's pretty simple, actually. Address your mail to 5379824@mcimail.com

Ordinarily you could address his/her username, but it has to be unique. In 
your case, Larsen probably isn't.

        If Inforite Corp. has its way, you might not have to send even a
scrap of paper to the IRS on April 15.
        Right now technology exists to allow tax returns to be filed
electronically, but signatures are still collected the old-fashioned way
-- via mailed-in signature cards.
        San Mateo, Calif.-based Inforite is negotiating with the Internal
Revenue Service and a number of tax-preparation services and software
publishers to make the Inforite MP Series Writing Pads an industry
standard for electronically capturing and storing signatures to be sent
to IRS processing facilities.
        In fact, Inforite is one of many firms negotiating with the IRS to
provide electronic signatures for millions of tax forms that are filed
electronically -- using a computer and modem -- every year.

If you send something to them, they can reply directly.

Would this be the best group to discuss ways to use the net to do research?

For instance, over the upcoming holidays I plan on taking some time off.
I would like to do some reading and research on an author in whom I am
interested.

I have a list of titles that I want to read.  But I would like to locate
other bibliographical information, biographical information, reviews, 
analysis, etc. on this author's work - particularly when those relate
to the titles that I plan on reading.

I know about wais , gopher, veronica.  But what I DONT know is how I would
go about using them, and other resources, to locate things like magazine
and journal references, etc.

Any suggestions?

A major list (Scott Yanoff's Internet Resources List) posted regularly here
and all over the world continues to list dra.com as a Library of
Congress copy.  What is meant by "copy" anyway?  There are several 
misleading or erroneous resources listed by Scott, but he is good about
removing them once they are called to his attention.  Unfortunately, his
list is seen by hundreds more than see the NNSC's IRG.  I say
unfortunately because his list is a major item on our campus network
menu, and it appears without any explanation or verification of
legitimacy.

Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1992 06:04:17 GMT

This is going to sound like a silly request, and please, no flame-mail
about copywrite infringement or whatever.

I am going to visit my sister and brother-in-law for the holidays.  We
have a family tradition of reading The Grinch That Stole Christmas every
Christmas Eve and my sister has asked me to read it this year to the
family and my 7 year old nephew.
 
Unfortunately, I can't find my copy anywhere in my house.  In addition,
the bookstore is sold out until after the new year and the library
apparently has no copies left.  (The bookstore did have a $50 "Tome of Dr.
Seuss" that measured some two feet by two feet and had ALL of the stories,
but that was a bit much).

Does this children's story exist anywhere on the net?  (an archie search
of 'grinch' yielded a file that was not the story).  Or, failing that,
would someone be willing to borrow their child's book and transcribe it
for me?

I know this is asking a lot and this is probably frowned upon ettiquette,
but this is very important to me and I would greatly appreciate any help
or suggestions.

Flames will be giggled at.

Heh heh.. Before I get flamed off this group... 
Lemme explain.. I guess that a mud is a service put on the internet right??
anyway... I started up a mud about 4 weeks ago... Some friends and I took 
a recenet hack of the original Diku source (we used kitmud source) and 
started twork on it... WE have incorporated a few of our own things.
changed the classes around, so now we have 40 levels of punks, politicians,
Born again christians, and occultists... We also got rid of the old world files
of the mud, and made an entire mud made up of our Own original areas...
(we have a mall, CWRU campus, newbieville, a madhouse, Microchips are us,
office tower, steam tunnels... a lot more..) anyway...about a week ago
we couldn't log into our site anymore (we were running on a next machine
that belonged to one of the students here at school).. anyway we thought at 
first that he had just left and shut of the computer, but later got the bad
news that his computer is toast *sigh*... SO anyway, we are now snooping
around for a new Box to put our mud up on.. we would need about 20-30 megs
of free drive space... we would be ready to move as soon as the new year cam
in.. (I leave for hong kong next week, and am coming back jan 5) so..
if anyone has any available space, and is curious to see DepravedMUD...
send me mail....
We would really appreciate any kind of help....!  Thanks a loT!

I don't know about the mac, but for the pc, you can look at wuarchive.wustl.edu
in the mirrors/msdos/compress directory.  There is a file comp430d.zip which I
use all the time that has a unix-compatible compress program.  Take a look at
it.  There's another pc program decomp2.zip at the same site that claims to be
another uncompress program, but I've never used it, so I can't comment.

Note that this directory at wuarchive.wustl.edu is simply a mirror for the
simtel20.army.mil site, directory PD1:<MSDOS.COMPRESS>.  I find wuarchive to
be faster, though, so I use that.
