From: MERC::"uunet!WKUVX1.BITNET!MacroMan" 1-MAY-1993 02:05:09.77 To: macro32@WKUVX1.BITNET CC: Subj: MACRO32 Administrivia: Monthly Post Posting statistics for list MACRO32 during April 1993 Total number of posts: 195 Total number of posters: 80 Total number of subscribers: 132 Last modified: 23-MAY-1992 00:32 (Added additional LISTSERV options) 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. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about MACRO32, please contact the list owner at the address below. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Hunter Goatley, VAX Systems Programmer goathunter@WKUVX1.BITNET Western Kentucky University Academic Computing, STH 226 (502) 745-5251 Bowling Green, KY 42101 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
