Here's how you do it: 1) Connect to CIS 2) Select "Personal Computing" from the main menu 3) Select "Programmer's Area" from the personal computing menu 4) at the "OK" prompt, type R ACCESS 5) At the Public Access prompt, enter: TYPE NEWS.DAT[70275,125] In addition, you will get a catalog of other interesting items, particularly program listings, that are available on-line. I haven't tried it yet, but plan to tonight. Certainly seems worth keeping an eye on just to see what software becomes available and what kind of news crops up. * * David Bryant AT&T Bell Laboratories * Columbus, OH 43213 * (614) 860-4516 * . : djb@cbosgd.UUCP cbosgd!djb@Berkeley.ARPA * *
