  Is there anywhere that I can ftp decus library software from?  I've seen the 
list on wuarchive, but it does not have what I am looking for.  Is there any
site that has the complete library?

Also I want to find out where to obtain the sources to COMPRESS,

Tony and all,

I understand your feelings. I would like to point out however that my
recent posting was not in vain. There is someone at IEEE reading and
responding to Email. I was quite suprized to get a personal call at
work from IEEE service center asking what they could do to make everything
right.

I was honest with her and explained my apathy and that it was possible
that if there was any renewal info with the regular re-enlistment papers,
then I just missed it.

One thing you might want to do is find out what is happening in the different
societies in your area. Depending on where you live, there could be a lot
of benefit to getting involved in local chapters.

To the person who asked about who to contact:
IEEE Service Center
445 Hoes Lane
Box 1331
Piscataway, NJ 08855 1-908-562-3878

Wow, almost sounds like I work for 'em.

Yes, the same has happened to me. I did call and write. I received a 
letter stating that I had been dropped as of the first of the year, even
though I had never received any renewal information at all.

They said just call this number 1-800-678-4333 in the US. Or you can
write: IEEE Computer Society / 10662 Los Vaqueros Circle / Los Alamitos, CA
90720 / 714-821-8380.

I, however, am dissatisfied with there service and did not bother to waste

The IEEE Ottawa Section is setting up an e-mail newsletter to

have e-mail and would like to receive the newsletter send mail to

listserv@holo.iitsg.nrc.ca

with only the words

subscribe newsletter yourname

in the body of the message, where yourname is your real name not
your login, e.g. William M. Robertson in my case.

For those without e-mail we hope to post the newsletters to a local
bbs system so that members with modems can download it.  I am still
looking for candidate bbs's in the Ottawa area so I would appreciate
any suggestions.

I must confess that as a new subscriber I too am already disatisfied with IEEE.
They have no problems accepting money, but all I have received so far (approx
three months) is promotional literature encouraging me to buy (pay for) yet more

I'm pretty certain that there never has been a published list of local
LISA groups. There's a good reason for this; to the best of my
knowledge, as of last year's LISA, such a list would have read
"BayLISA, San Francisco Bay Area". As of this year, I actually know of
two, since there is also a Boston area group called Back Bay LISA.
SAGE, the System Administration Guild, has a working group devoted to
assisting people interested in setting up local-area groups; it has a
mailing list on usenix.org, which you can subscribe to by sending a
mail message with the body "subscribe sage-locals" to
"listserv@usenix.org".

First of all, I am assuming such an organization doesn't exist.  If one

(was it in last years LISA proceeding that I saw such a list?? Don't

Anyway, I am very interested in hearing from Administrators interested in

necessarily volunteering to organize such a group, but if the interest is
high enough and noone else volunteers ...

Interested parties please contact me.  I am also assuming that no such LISA

Keywords: SAGE policies procedures documents
Followup-To: poster

The SAGE*** policies working group is soliciting examples of computer
policies and procedures. We would like anything that documents what you
do when, and why you do it. These can deal with operations, account
creation/access, disk space, file system ownership, mailing list
ownership, peripheral access, physical computer access, or anything
else that effects the way you run your computer(s).

This can cover anything from a single computer to a computer center
serving thousands of users. It doesn't have to be UN*X specific, in
fact, we'd like it to cover as broad a range as possible.

Please be aware that documents sent to the policies working group
become public, so if you have proprietary or classified information,
please delete it before you send the document to us.

We will be formulating several suggested policy statements, as well as
some possible procedural documents. These can then be used by systems
administrators as an aid in establishing their own P&P documents.

Send electronic (ASCII or PostScript** preferred) versions of your
documents to  sage-policies-survey@usenix.org .  If you only have paper
versions, please contact me directly to discuss how we can best make it
available to the working group.

If you would like to be involved with the SAGE policies working group,
send email to sage-policies-request@usenix.org with a single line
message saying "subscribe sage-policies". As I understand it, anyone
can join the working groups at this time, though that may change in
January.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide

USENIX LISA BOF Sessions:

  As usual at the LISA conference there will be Birds of a Feather Sessions in
  the evening to allow attendees to meet and discuss topics of interest to
  them. BOF Sessions are intended to be highly interactive and much less
  formal than the Technical Sessions.  We would particularly like to encourage
  BOFs on topics which would not normally be discussed during the typical LISA
  technical presentations (for instance, discussions on professional issues,
  non-professional interests common to Systems Administrators, techincal
  issues not covered in the regular sessions or the Workshop Track). To
  schedule a BOF session or to request more information please contact Arch
  Mott via email to arch@pei.com or via telephone at (415) 335-0150.

32-bits are *not* needed, 16-bits suffices for representing the primary
content of *all* languages, both modern and archaic.  Of course, 32-bits
might be useful for glyph encodings; but Unicode doesn't encode glyphs.

[Note: 16-bits only suffices when a compositional approach is allowed, such
as is the case with Unicode and ISO10646; i.e., to represent the textual
information displayed as LATIN CAPITAL G WITH CIRCUMFLEX, the two Unicode
characters LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G and NON-SPACING CIRCUMFLEX are employed.
There is no need to encode all combinations of formal elements as single
encoding units.]

	If you are ready to pay some for the STTNG fonts you might 
	want to check out "Computer Safari". They offer STTNG fonts
	(including the font used on the starship Enterprise and on 
	the federation shuttles... You know, 'NCC1701A-font' :-) 
	plus a collection of hundred CGM clip-art images (including
	'Galaxy Class Starship' and 'Starfleet Command' coat of
	arms). The clip-art and the first font-set cost $39.95 each.
	The second font-set including 'NCC1701A', 'NCC INLINE' (used 
	on the shuttles) and 'Klingish' ('Klingon' look-a-like Roman
	font) fonts costs $19.95.

	Hope this helps.
