	Mailing List Members :

	With the increasing number of stray requests being posted to 
	the 'transputer' mailing list I am posting a brief refresher
	course in using the services provided by the mailing list.

	Request :	Anything concerned with addition/deletion to the
			mailing list, or the modification of an existing 
			address should be addressed as follows :

			U.K. Members : 
					
				transputer-request@uk.ac.oxford.prg

			U.S. Members :

				transputer-request@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu

	Posting :	To post relevant articles concerned with transputers,
			algorithms, vendors information, etc., you should 
			send to the following addresses :

			U.K. Members : 
					
				transputer@uk.ac.oxford.prg

			U.S. Members :

				transputer@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu

			(requests for deletion/addition should NOT be sent here)

	Archiver :	The archiver saves all postings to the mailing
			list. The archivers and lists are operated
			independently in the U.S. and U.K. Postings
			and requests are handled similarly while the
			archivers are different. For additional 
			information :

			U.K. Members :  "Subject:" line or first line of message
					should include "send help" or "help".

				archive-server@uk.ac.oxford.prg

			U.S. Members :	"Subject:" line of message should 
					look like "Subject: help" and be 
					sent to address below.

				transputer-archiver@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu


	Miscellaneous Notes :

		A) Addresses which cause a large number of bounced
		messages are removed after attempts are made to correct the
		addresses. Requests for addition should be submitted to
		the appropriate request address above.

		B) Please send requests for addition/deletion to the
		correct administrator. Many list members are on redistribution
		lists which exist as one entry in the primary lists. Thus,
		we may not be able to find your address when you send us
		a deletion request. Addition/deletion requests should be 
		made to the person who oversees the local alias.

		C) Addresses are different depending on which side of the
		ocean you are on. In the U.S. request addresses are:
			transputer-request@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu
			transputer-request@prg.oxford.ac.uk
		while in the U.K. they are :
			transputer-request@usa.edu.cornell.tn.tcgould
			transputer-request@uk.ac.oxford.prg

		You should use your closest distribution point.

		D) Be patient. I try to keep up with the requests received
		but am often unable to concentrate solely on list management.
		If the message doesn't bounce chances are that it arrived
		here. Please do not post requests to the 'transputer' address
		as thousands of people will hate you for it.


	Enjoy...
