Fujtisu dexNET 200 -- ~$895; you may be able to get a lower price; call
                             ACM, Danbury, Connecticut at (203) 797-2670 and
                             ask for info about resellers in Canada)
DCE FaxBox/30 30   -- $2,500; call DCE, Stamford, Connecticut, at
                             (203) 358-3940.

HP LaserJet FAX modem -- ~$800; contact HP.  This modem cannot receive FAXes
                                to a host computer; it will only receive
                                FAXes to an attached LaserJet printer.
U.S. Robotics WorldPort 2496 V.42bis -- ~ $300; look in Byte Magazine and other
                                        micro computer magazines.

We've found the Fujitsu and FaxBox/30 to be the most reliable of these modems.

Digital has (or used to have) a Message Router/Telex gateway (MR/Telex I
believe it is called).  PMDF and PMDF-MR should connect you to that although
I don't personally know of anyone who has done this.

If you feel like spending {money|time|hair off your head}, you might also
check into the Messy Router Gateway for WP Office.  It might help with some
of the formatting problems.  We do not run WP Office, so I will make no
guarantees.  Caveat emptor.

We use the PMDF NOTES channel at eisner.decus.org to populate a
conference from the info-multinet list.  Lately we've reveived
a number of items with subjects that look like:
        FWD: RE: some earlier subject

These don't get matched up with the earlier notes with subjects
        RE: some earlier subject

Would it be reasonable for the NOTES channel to treat FWD in the

I'm currently evaluating PMDF-FAX 4.1. On the surface it looks quite good
except for one occasion when I was able to send a fax successfully (according

have a fax at home! Other than that, no problems.

Does anyone have any horror stories to tell?

        I'm having a minor problem with trying to send a mail message from
within a detached job (running from DEC Scheduler).  The particular job that
I'm looking at is the arbitron job for ANU News.  Here's the tail of the
arbitron log file:

        <user> hasn't logged in this month
        <user> hasn't logged in this month
        <user> hasn't logged in this month
        <user> hasn't logged in this month
        <user> hasn't logged in this month
        <user> doesn't read news
        $ mail arbitron.out "in%""netsurvey@decwrl.dec.com""",usenet
        %MAIL-E-USERSPEC, invalid user specification '.'
        $       exit $status
          SYSTEM       job terminated at  4-JAN-1993 18:43:30.73


        The arbitron program is completing normally, but the MAIL command
is failing.  I can cut that exact MAIL command straight from the log file
and paste it onto the command line and it works just fine.  Of course, this
all worked just fine up until about a month ago. :)

        Versions: VMS 5.5-2, PMDF 4.1, ANU News 6.0.3.  Thanks for any
information.

Subject:      PMDF-FAX question
Newsgroups: bit.listserv.pmdf-l


We are considering various FAX solutions for the campus e-mail network. The
problem that we have with most of them is handling inbound FAXs. Several
PC FAX vendors support the use of Direct Inward Dialing (DID), usually via an
EXACOM DID module. The DID module passes to the FAX server the "actual" phone
number that was dialed. The server then uses this to route the FAX to the
correct e-mail user. This solution is fine except that it does not address all
possible e-mail systems on campus and the cost for some of the PC software is
very high.

Is there any way to currently use a DID type line with PMDF-FAX, or are there
plans for such. We like the way PMDF-FAX works but dont want to have to someone
there to manually route the incoming FAXs.

Thanks

This is an old bug (it happened in PMDF V4.0 as well) that will be fixed
in the next release. It isn't patchable; fixing it required rewriting most
of the BSMTP handling code from scratch.

Outstanding. Now, and I am seriously curious about this; what is the origin of
this thing. Dan Ponech apparently put it on this list in June. As I remember
the discussion, there was an operating assumption that he was the source; but
now I see a cross reference to a list called ANTHRO-L. The Chronicle
attributes what seems to be the same thing to the names Richard Wilk and Anne
Pyburn. Anybody know anything? I think I'll bounce over on ANTHRO-L and ask. I
continue to be fascinated by where humor in organizational/institutional
cultures comes from and what it does. BTW: I also remember Ponech as saying he
was dropping out of sight for research or sabbatical or something and leaving
the list. True? Thanks for digging this one up, Gil.

Irv; the title of the proposal was "PRO-FORMA," and it was by the fellow up in
Canada. The discussion apparently rated a mention or two in sidebars in the
Chronicle. I dropped out of the discussion during my period of unemployment
after the RIF here. Somewhere in my files at home, I have copies of all of the
messages that passed around on that one, including one in which the original
author ceeded all rights to the title and the concept to me. I thought it was
a great idea even if, as you mention, a lot of folks missed the point.(But
then I draw cartoons for the Chronicle and all sorts of non-scholarly stuff
like that.) Want to try to start it up?

Gil/Irv. (BTW. Good to see your name again.) I think I have all of the stuff
on the original Pro-Forma at home; I'll look. Interestingly enough, a Richard
Wilk and Anne Pyburn are described in the 23 Sept Marginalia column of
theChronicle as the authors of a promotional piece for an imaginary journal
called "Pro-Forma; The Magazine for the Busy Academic" which was run in the 29
July magainalia column. I don't have that one. They are also credited with an
"all purpose abstract for the social sciences." I don't know if their
imaginary journal was a pick up from this net or not. I am certain that the
original on this net was proposed by the fellow in Canada (whose name escapes
me) who also wrote the piece slamming the vocational nature of higher
education. He was, as I remember, one of the ones who didn't understand how
some of us found the Pro Forma thing really great fun. His piece had to be
well before 1 July which was when I dropped off the net. DA. (ps, Have I
missed something; this net sure isn't as lively as it used to be/ little
graphic symbol for quizzical smile...)

Pro Forma was a great sendup in the form of an advertisement for a Journal...

That there were folks who missed the point enhanced the exquisitely delicious

Single quotes mess up macro comments because the text inside is
scanned.  Use
  /* PROC SORT That's already done previously. */
instead.  These are the safest kind of comments around.

Comments: To: "(SAS(r) Distribution list)" <sas-l@vtvm2.cc.vt.edu>

Hi all,

    A small problem, which was probably covered in the long discussion about
commas, but I didn't read it all as I am rather pushed for time.
    Anyway, I have a small (in terms of number of variables, large number of
subjects) set of data, produced by someone else that is comma delimted.  Using
the delimiter= option in the infile statement is fine, except when there is
missing data, as there are simply two commas in such a case, and SAS reads them
simply as one comma.  eg

1,2,3,4,5    This line is normal.  Well, the values are purely illustrative...
1,2,,4,5     <- 3rd variable is missing.

    I can't get the data changed.  I could get an editor to execute a simple
search and replace routine, but I am working on a noddy-proof system, so I
have to be able to solve this within SAS, if at all possible.  Has anyone got
anysuggestions?  (I tried to use the SCAN function, too, but that does the
same thing...)  RTFM is fine, but which FM and which page...  (Read the
archives is fine, too, but which archive and how to get the thing...)

I have a question about a set statement ( i think);

   Here is my program.

data a;
     input a b c d e f g h;
     cards;
1 516  12 31 968 80 8 67
;

data b;
     input a b c d e f g h ;
     cards;
0  516 0 0 0 0 7 89


the output that I am looking for should look like the following.

 1 516 12 31 968 80  8 67
 1 516 12 31 968 80  7 89

In other words for the same id (516) I want the the "zeros" for
   varaiables "a c d e f " to be replaced by the values from the previous
   observation.

Thanks in advance

PC-SAS Release 6.04

I have a question for SAS-L.

On my lap top (PRO 386) I can not read what I type in SAS Log
"Command Line" regardless how I set the brightness.  The text
in SAS Log is readable and its readability will change as I
adjust the brightness but the SAS Log "Command Line" is never
readable.  The command line in the Program Editor and Output
windows is always readable and its readability will vary
depending on how the brightness is adjusted.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Subject:      New for Exporting SAS/GRAPH Output to ALDUS PAGEMAKER for Windows

Hi SAS-Lers,

HOT OFF THE PRESSES!!!!!!
*************************
     The new SAS documentation for "Exporting SAS/GRAPH Output to
ALDUS PAGEMAKER for Windows" is available by contacting SAS Tech
Support, and requesting document TS-252F (Version 1.05, January
15, 1993).  This document contains embedded graphics and
therefore was not put on FTP.SAS.COM.  However, Peter Ruzsa has
put information for exporting SAS/GRAPH output to other software
packages on FTP.SAS.COM.  The files are located in the

       /techsup/download/technote/ts252 directory.

They deal with, among other things, creating file formats for
SAS/GRAPH, and importing those files to other packages.

     The three files are:

   1. readme.txt   - table of contents describing the files

   2. exptable.dat - list of products, platforms, files imported and
                     addresses of the companies of the products
   3. expdriv.dat  - information on the file formats (and how to
                     create), importing files to other software
                     packages, and gdevice descriptions for the
                     packages.


     Some simple directions for accessing the files.
     **********************************************

     To FTP the files to your computer, at the ready prompt type

    ftp FTP.SAS.COM

it will ask you to identify yourself, type "anonymous" and then
you will need to type in the password.  The password is your own email
address (mine is ubsheff@unc.edu).
     The files are located in the directory

    /techsup/download/technote/ts252 .

     So type

cd techsup/download/technote/ts252 to move to the directory.   Type
"ls" to view the files in the directory.
     To copy files from SAS type "get filename".  Get is the
command to retrieve "filename" from SAS.COM.  You will get a response
that the transfer was completed.
