Subject:      Re: regarding U4ia and his music modules.

just because we haven't seen it before, doesn't mean it shouldn't be
there.  and the more bizarre the better.  perhaps the problem is that it
is too open and personal and vulnerable.  the problem i can see is that
there are lots of people who need more equipment than they have and the
net could be flooded with requests for donations.  if that isn't considered
a problem, then why not?  if the people who police this stuff would shut
off those who ask without having donated anything to the comunity pass
those who have made a contribution then i think the net would not be
flooded.  shareware is moved around on the net and that asks for donations
for value added to the community and the individual.  i don't see much
difference.  he should make sure to ask for donations in the material
that goes out with his mods.  I will respond to this appeal, since I'm
interested in mods and i'm touched by his appeal.  But not to the next
one, i'm afraid.

Yes I have made a prog to split those digests ( and suppress duplicates)
But the name of the created files are not a simple number like with uucp
but a name with group-date-size like that :

HA31Aug92_003922_1312

that means

If you need it send me a mail. (but don't send on the list a lot of "I need it"
and "me too", other people are not concerned by your needs)

I know this problem, its caused by VMS appending zero bytes to the file to get
its size 512-byte-aligned (the vms fixed file format used for binary transports)

To get exes running, simply kill the extraneous bytes. I think Filemaster or
similiar hex-editing tools should do it. you may also write a little prg
what does the job...

>the mail-list I am administering.  Thanks...

I did a word search on the CWIS list of lists and here are the
hits it found:
  * Clemson University
  * Columbia University
  * Cornell CUINFO
  * Mississippi State University (MSUinfo)
  * North Carolina State University Happenings!
  * Syracuse University PRISM/SUINFO
  * University of New Hampshire's VideoTex
  * University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill INFO
  * Yale E N T E R P R I S E
  * McGill University, Montreal Canada, InfoMcGill CWIS
  * Heartland Freenet

(The source for the list of lists is Judy Hallman's list that we
FTP'd from UNC-CH and mounted on our MUSIC/SP CWIS in word search
format.)

To know how to access the above CWIS's you can look on our CWIS.
Type "XCWIS" in the command area on the main menu to get to the
list.  I used "job* or employ*" for the search argument.
Follow the following steps to access McGill's CWIS via the Internet:

  Use a TELNET command that can handle 3270 data streams.
  (In VM, just use the TELNET command.  In other systems
  it may be called TN3270.)

  Use Internet address of "VM1.MCGILL.CA"
  (The numeric address is 132.206.27.2)

  Hit ENTER to clear the VM/ESA logo screen
  Enter PF3 (or type "INFO") as the screen will prompt you.

  You should now be signed on to the "InfoMcGill" system.

We'd be happy to have you visit the University of Iowa. The Weeg
Computing Center and the University Libraries have cooperated on a
number of projects. One that may be of interest to you is the
Information Arcade, an 82 workstation center in the Library that is
networked to many electronic resources locally and over the Internet.
It also contains a 48 student classroom which is being used by academic
faculty from 6- departments to teach multi-media based courses. The
classroom is equipped with 24 Quadras, and the rest of the Arcade is
equipped with a mixture of NeXT, PS2 and Macintosh machines. It is
connected to the statewide fiber-optic network.

Our CWIS has a link to a conference facility that includes on-campus
jobs and re-assignment opportunities.  In addition,  we have opened
access to the system to a number of social service agencies in and
around the Baltimore area for listing job openings and other
opportunities.  The concept has been very well received as a public
service offering of the college.

You can address further auestions to our Affirmative Action Officer,
Dr Judy Snyder at AASN@CATCC.  I know she would be delighted to
share ideas with you.

Subject:      E-mail extracts & Copyrights

Hi everyone,

  Ou CWIS (like many others) send extracts of information by e-mail.

  Do most CWIS send the information alone or with a copyright notice?

  If so, is it a notice about 'using the info as long as you mention
the sources' or 'use the info for personal use only' or anything else?

  Since we think that information extracted by e-mail from a CWIS is likely
to be used elsewhere, we decided to add a warning in front of all e-mail :

  (It's in french...)
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  La reproduction des articles en tout ou en partie est autorisee
  avec mention de la source et de l'auteur, sauf pour usage commercial.
  Cependant, certains articles sont sujets a des copyrights qui pourraient

  (My own not-so-good translation)

  You can use this extract if you mention the source and author and if
  it is not for commercial use.
  However, some articles may be subject to copyright that could
  further limit their use and distribution.

  Any other CWIS doing the same?

fee for the file (or files) of their choice, and their users receive
unlimited searching free of charge.

DOCUMENT DELIVERY
Full-text copies of articles cited in ABI/INFORM, Periodical
Abstracts, Newspaper Abstracts, and Ei Page One can be ordered
online through CitaDel.  Document-delivery options include first class
mail, fax, and Ariel (RLG's document-transmission system for the
Internet).

FREE TRIAL SUBSCRIPTIONS
Institutions may try one CitaDel file or several for 30 days without
charge.  There is no obligation to purchase a subscription after a
30-day trial.  (Limit per institution:  One free 30-day trial per
file; however, several CitaDel files may be tried concurrently.)

COMING SOON TO CITADEL
*  More files, including Hispanic American Periodical Index, Isis
   History of Science Bibliography, and the INION Bibliographies (from
   the Russian Institute of Scientific Information in the Social
   Sciences).

*  Pricing by the search (for institutions not desiring subscription
   pricing).

*  Document delivery for more files.

    I've had it with email surverys, no matter how noble the cause.

I agree with Andrew's original complaint.  I'll shut-up in a second;
but someone has to take his side...

Many of us subscribe to lists & newsgroups for the purpose of fast
feedback and active discussion.  When the surveys *about* the list
content start to take up a significant percentage of the list itself,
then there should be no surprise when people start getting annoyed.

(For instance, this message itself...)

Ideally, it might be nice if there were a place (a different list) for
inquiries like the surveys.  If it were severely moderated it might
have a high enough quality to attract the 'target' audience.  I dunno,
just a thought.

Any volunteers to organize it?  (I know: We're all too busy writing
surveys or answering them...)

 The issue of frequent and occasionally shallow e-mail surveys and
questionnaires can be a CWIS issue; more and more of us (administrators)
are making the machinery available to greater numbers of people so that
they can be information providers and users. It will not take these same
people long to find out about the host of "lists" to which they will be
tempted to send a questionnaire or survey.
 I know that my suggestion will offend some who will regard it as a
violation of free speech or civil liberty, but I would argue that since
the name of my institution goes with the survey, I should have the right
to approve it. Similarly, when I receive a survey that is going to take
time (money) to respond to, I am more likely to if the sender advises
me that the questionnaire has received the approval of the "director", or
manager in charge of the unit (library, computer centre, etc.) and that the
surveyor will send me the results, if I ask for them.
 If someone has alredy suggested this, I'm sorry, I missed it.

As many more people will probably note, SSINFO is not unique in
allowing a screen copy and e-mail routing of documents. PNN - the
Princeton News Network (our CWIS), allows documents (not just
a screen) to be printed anywhere and also allows documents to
be e-mailed anywhere. PNN also allows documents to be saved on
your own computer - be it micro or mainframe. All of these
features should be in all CWISes.
