The former is acheived by specifying: 
DVsomehost.that.has.ip-n-bitnet
CVRSCS BITNET NETNORTH EARN EARNET VNET


UUCP can be acheived with:
DUsome.host.with.uucpconnection

it can also be useful to send all non-local mail off somewhere else with a
heavily configured sendmail to take care of it by specifying a relay site
DRsome.mondo.sendmail.site

This is in 3.2.x

The XL compiler is, in my view, pretty solid.  I have, so far, not

Can some one tell me the proper format for sending mail via internet to
Compuserve users? I tried:

"nnnnn,mmmm"@iha.compuserve.com

(and many other variations of " ' \ etc.)

Unfortunately AIX's sendmail won't let me imbed the comma as part of the
name. It treats the address as two users (nnnnn (locally) and mmmmm@iha.
compuserve.com (remote)) no matter what I try to do with quotes and various
escape characters. Thanks in advance.

I would be interested in any replies you get to this as well.  I currently
maintain 12000+ users on a Prime system, and have both automatic and
hands on (non-Prime supplied) ways to maintain these users.  Each semester
we will routinely delete 2000 or so old users, and add 2000 or so new
ones.  This of course can not be done by hand, and we have an interface
from our SIS database running on a IBM 3090 that feeds the needed data
to our Prime system, where our scripts pick up and insert/delete/change
the entries.

We are planning a conversion from Prime, to some UNIX platform, as well
as Novell servers, and are in need of the same functionality on these
platforms.

Thanks!

Hi.

I already am handling BITNET stuff by using a DR (define relay host).  I was
curious how to handle it without using same.

The Internet relay I'm using does seem to be able to handle uucp mail,
but I'm still not getting uucp mail to work.

I noticed a slight C code statement of the insect kind in the

random 'seed' which makes it harder for someone to try to duplicate
and hit on your starting 'seed' and obtain the same random password.
Another thing that we do is run the program several times to obtain
several random passwords and then pick just one.).

Subject:      Twain's death
Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

Here is the way the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations gives the Clemens
quote that Tony and Emily had an exchange about last night:

  "The report of my death was an exaggeration."

       -His correction to The New York Journal, 2 June 1897 about its
       confusion of him with a cousin living in London

     (The quotation is exact, but not the gloss.)

The reason I mention this is that I don't have a quotation source at
home or work, and I had just learned about hangout.rutgers.edu, so I
telnetted there and used library/reference/familiar/twain.  Many of
you routinely telnet hither and yon to look at library catalogs and
reference works, but I do it so infrequently that it's always strange
and new to me.  There's all this <good stuff> out there!  A couple of
observations:

--the reference works are often inadequately identified.  I don't know
  what edition of "The Oxford Dictionary of Familiar Quotations (and
  Modern Quotations)" this one is, for instance.  On our local Gopher
  service here, there is a handy little dictionary identified only as
  "American English Dictionary (from the UK)."  Maddening!

--the search protocols are usually weak and/or cumbersome.  The quotation
  book can only be searched by single key word -- no boolean combinations.
  Truncation is supposed to work, but doesn't. "rumors" or "rumours"
  wouldn't have worked here, obviously, but neither would "exaggerated"
  have produced the quote. Didn't try "death"; too many hits probably.

--No Mae West quotes in this source (but a couple of great Tallulah
  Bankheads!).  Where does the novice like me go next?  It would be
  great to have a variety of tools in one place, although this is
  probably an impossibility.  And why not the best tools?  Our Gopher
  has a 1911 thesaurus!  I know there are market reasons for this, but...

  I know: I need a good guide to the Internet like the ones that have
  been discussed here.  I have one on order....

It's partially a truism, partially a truth: that when you get into a

Breslin had a very funny line about this in an essay he wrote for a
collection called, I think, _Once a Catholic_: that you can become the
world's biggest freethinker and atheist, but that if you were raised
in the RC Church, when a crisis hits you, you find out that everything
Sister Mary Immaculata told you in 3rd grade Catechism class is
absolutely true:-).  Maybe some Jews and other non-Catholics handle
this differently: but I have lived through enough bad moments so I
know in my gut what Breslin meant.  A writer I used to know years
ago--also a Jew who had lost touch with the religion--wrote she would
repeat the so-called "Agnostic's Prayer": "God, if there is a God,

I remember when I started teaching in Texas 30 (okay, 32) years ago,

tornado drill involved marching everybody into the halls to sit down next

He has skinny little legs and walks like he has hemerroids or something.
I find very little about him appealing.

Of course I was being ironic about insignificance.  Even the word "goober"
or "goober pea" is highly significant -- one of the few borrowings from
African languages brought over by slaves (this one from Bantu, according to
AHD3).  I would be very interested in the song reference to the Georgia
militia, if Susan or anyone else remembers.  (So would Mark Ingram.)

Speaking of Alabama roots, did you find out anything about Charles Grayson
Summersell?
