Welcome  to  vmsnet.internals,  a  newsgroup  for  the  discussion  of  VMS
internals, VMS systems programming, and systems languages such as  MACRO-32
and  BLISS-32  (and  C  and  FORTRAN,  etc.,  with  regard  to  VMS systems
programming).  Typical posts could include MACRO programming problems  with
syntax,  questions  about undocumented system routines, solutions to common
problems, etc.

This  newsgroup is gatewayed to the MACRO32@WKUVX1.BITNET mailing list.  If
you'd rather read this traffic via electronic mail, you  can  subscribe  to
the   mailing  list  (send  e-mail  with  the  body  SUBSCRIBE  MACRO32  to
LISTSERV@WKUVX1.BITNET; this is not a "real" LISTSERV.) More information on
LISTSERV is provided below.

Special  thanks  are  due  to  Mark  Berryman  for providing the MACRO32 to
vmsnet.internals gateway and to Terry Kennedy for providing an ftp site for
FILESERV files.

This is a routine posting you will see from time to time on MACRO32.  While
your subscription to MACRO32 is appreciated and your input welcomed,  there
are a few things to remember.

First,  the use of a brief and descriptive subject header for your messages
is encouraged.  A subject such as "Problem" is not very  helpful,  while  a
subject  such  as  "Problem  queueing  ASTs  to  other  processes"  is very
informative and useful.

Second,  if  you have posed a question to MACRO32 and have received private
answers which address your problem, please post a summary of  replies  back
to  the  list  or  group.  Such summary postings will be appreciated by the
subscribers as they will be enabled to follow your problem and not  wonder,
"What  about the post regarding...?" Also, these postings often provide for
further extensions of the original question.  A suggested  summary  subject
header  is the original subject preceded or followed by the word "Summary",
such as "Kernel mode hints - Summary".

Third,  the  MACRO32 archives are maintained at ARCHIVES@WKUVX1.BITNET.  To
get a copy of any month's postings, send an e-mail message  with  the  body
SEND  MACRO32.yyyy-mm  to  ARCHIVES@WKUVX1.BITNET, where "yyyy" is the year
and "mm" is the numeric representation of  the  month.   For  example,  the
message SEND MACRO32.1991-05 will access the archives for May 1991.

The  archive  files  are  also available via anonymous ftp from FTP.SPC.EDU
(192.107.46.27) in the [.MACRO32.LISTS] directory.

Fourth,  FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET  is  the  file  server for all list-related
programs and text files.  If you have a  program  that  you  wish  to  make
available,  please  forward them to MacroMan@WKUVX1.BITNET.  Once the files
are in place, their availability will be announced  to  the  list.   For  a
brief  list  of  all  files available, send e-mail with the body DIR ALL to
FILESERV.

The   files   are   also  available  via  anonymous  ftp  from  FTP.SPC.EDU
(192.107.46.27) in the [.MACRO32] directory.

(The old server, MACROSRV, has been replaced by FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET.)

Finally,  please  feel free to post to the list.  It is provided as a forum
for your discussion of  issues  related  to  VMS  systems  programming  and
programming  in  MACRO-32, BLISS, and other languages.  Since we consist of
beginners and pros, I hope we can answer most questions posed.

To  remove  yourself  from  the mailing list, send the following command to
LISTSERV@WKUVX1.BITNET:

  SIGNOFF MACRO32

LISTSERV supports a few other commands for your convenience.  The following
commands can be handled automatically by the list processor:

 SIGNOFF MACRO32       - to remove yourself from the list
 REVIEW MACRO32        - to get a list of subscribers
 QUERY MACRO32         - to get the status of your entry on the list
 SET MACRO32 NOMAIL    - to remain on the list but not receive mail
 SET MACRO32 MAIL      - to resume receiving mail from the list
 SET MACRO32 CONCEAL   - to not report your address in a REVIEW
 SET MACRO32 NOCONCEAL - to report your address in a REVIEW
 SET MACRO32 REPRO     - to receive posts you make to MACRO32
 SET MACRO32 NOREPRO   - to not receive posts you make to MACRO32
 LIST                  - to get a list of mailing lists served by WKUVX1
 HELP                  - to receive a help file

By default, subscriptions are set to MAIL, REPRO, NOCONCEAL.
