>Summary: Please use the SIMTEL20 index before posting

Mr. Petersen, Prof. Salmi, and I keep repeating this suggestion, but
people don't seems to get the hint.

As stated in the Frequently Asked Questions, you can obtain instructions
on how to use the index server at math.princeton.edu by sending mail
to rjc@math.princeton.edu with a blank subject and containing the single
word

	help

in the body.  Do not append a signature or prepend any goofiness.

In a few hours, you should receive instructions on how to send index
search requests.  The server contains the indexes for simtel20,
chyde, and grape; I update the indexes every month or so, as time
permits.

People with ftp capability can ftp all of the indexes from
math.princeton.edu (128.112.128.157) from the directory pub/rjc/csip.
And if you ask me privately, I'll even send you the "lookup" program
that searches these indexes.
