           ** PLEASE NOTE ITEM 3 BELOW -- THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT **
                  ** CHANGE FROM PRIOR "Routine Messages" **
 
This is a routine posting you will see from time to time on INFO-TeX.
While we appreciate your subscription to INFO-TeX and welcome your input,
there are a few things to remember.
 
First, if you should ever wish to have your name removed from the list of
subscribers and no longer receive INFO-TeX, please send a MAIL message to
                           LISTSERV@SHSU.BITNET
stating in the text of the MAIL:
SIGNOFF INFO-TeX
      %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
      % Please do NOT send the SIGNOFF message to the list address, %
      % INFO-TeX@SHSU.BITNET, as this is the redistribution address %
      % for the list.  All posting to INFO-TeX are distributed to   %
      % its worldwide list of subscribers.                          %
      % Please note that the LISTSERV which serves INFO-TeX is MAIL %
      % oriented only and is not conventional interactive LISTSERV. %
      %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Please remember to SIGNOFF of INFO-TeX should you have reason to lose or
give up your account.
 
Second, the use of a brief and descriptive subject header for your messages
is encouraged.  A subject such as "Help" is not very informative, while a
subject such as "Help with centering" or "Help: centering in tabular" is
very informative and useful.
 
Third, the Reply-to: address for INFO-TeX is now configured to INFO-TeX.
Thus, all replies not specifically addressed will be forwarded to the entire
audience of subscribers.
 
Fourth, if you have posed a question to INFO-TeX and have received answers
which address your problem, please post a summary of replies back to the
list.  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 yet further
extensions of the original question.  A suggested summary subject header is
the original subject followed by the word "Summary", such as
"Help: centering in tabular - Summary"
 
Fifth, the archives of INFO-TeX are maintained at FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET.
To get a copy of any month's postings, send MAIL to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET
with the message:
SENDME INFO-TeX.yyyy-mm
where "yyyy" is the year and "mm" is the numeric representation of the
month.  For example, the message SENDME INFO-TeX.1990-12 will access the
archives for December, 1990.
 
Sixth, FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET also supports a developing LaTeX style file
collection.  This service is being added, slowly but surely, for your use
and convenience.  To get a brief annotated listing of the current holdings
and brief instructions on retrieving the files in the STY collection, send
MAIL to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET with the message:
LIST STY
        +----------------------------------------------------------+
        | If you would like to assist in the development of this   |
        | repository by contributing a file to the STY collection, |
        | please MAIL it to STY-Mgr@SHSU.BITNET.                   |
        +----------------------------------------------------------+
FILESERV also has a number of other TeX-related packages and files
available.  To get an annotated listing of all packages and files available,
send the command DIRECTORY in a MAIL message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET.
Further information about FILESERV can be obtained from a HELP message.
 
Finally, please feel free to post to the list.  It is provided to assist you
with TeX-related problems.  No question is "too simple"; questions which are
"too hard" lead to doctoral dissertations and new products.
 
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about INFO-TeX, please
contact the list owner at any of the addresses below.
