I have included it for distribution here to help ensure your awareness of the list. Those Coco user's preferring more details relating specifically to Coco use, as opposed to OS9 which happens to be on the Coco, will want to sign up for the mailing list. - JDD] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 9 Jan 88 01:23:54 GMT From: EWTILENI@pucc.Princeton.EDU (Eric Tilenius) Subject: A Guide to the CoCo Mailing List Organization: Princeton University, NJ An older version of this guide was sent out to the charter subscribers of the CoCo mailing list. This is the latest revision, and will tell you all about the list, including its purpose, how to join, how to contribute, etc. Please pass this information on to anyone you think may be interested. ********************************************************************** Welcome to the mailing list COCO! This file will give you information about the list and how to use it... keep it as a reference guide. 1. PURPOSE OF THE LIST: COCO is a list that gives people on BITNET, ARPA, and some of UUCP a chance to discuss anything they wish related to any model of the Tandy Color Computer. Some of the topics discussed on CoCo are: The Tandy Color Computer 3, and CoCo 1, and 2, OS-9 (Level I and Level II), 6809 programming, hardware, software reviews, source code exchange (public domain only), tips, hints, questions, rumors, and more! 2. RESTRICTIONS: This is an open list, and is not edited. Anything you post will be sent out automatically to everyone subscribed to the list. The list is open to everyone, provided they behave properly. You are encouraged to post it it however - active users make a mailing list more interesting for everyone! 3. HOW TO ACCESS THE LIST: To subscribe, send mail to the moderator at the following address: ewtileni@pucc.BITNET -- or -- ewtileni@pucc.Princeton.EDU NOTE: This list is run off of LISTSERV@PUCC.BITNET, so you can send automatic commands to the ListServ processor to control your list actions - you need not go through the moderator. For more information, send MAIL to ListServ@PUCC.BITNET -- or -- ListServ@pucc.Princeton.EDU Each line of your message will be treated as a command. Some commands to get you started are: HELP - Sends you a Help Menu REGISTER Your Real Name - Registers your full name (not ID!) SUBSCRIBE COCO Your Real Name - Signs you up to list COCO UNSUBSCRIBE COCO - Removes you from the list REVIEW COCO - Reviews members & status of the list INFO ? - Lists LISTSERV information available You will receive confirmation from ListServ for any commands you send. Note that it is not necessary to send ListServ your userid or node. It will get that information from the mail header. BITNET users should have no trouble sending MAIL to ListServ (just remember - one command per line, and no garbage - this is a program). ARPA and UUCP users should be able to talk to ListServ as well, but if you can't (ie. you've waited for days and no response), and want a file or action to be taken, contact the list moderator. 4. SENDING MESSAGES/USING THE LIST: Once you are subscribed to list COCO, you can begin to partake in the fun and information available. To send messages and files to everyone on the list. To do this, send a mail message with what you wish to send to: CoCo@pucc.BITNET CoCo@pucc.Princeton.EDU CoCo%pucc.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu "CoCo" is not a person, nor is it a program. It is the list itself, your gateway to everyone who subscribes to the list. You can also REPLY to any messages you get from the list. Your replies should go automatically to CoCo, and thus to everyone on the list. As mentioned before, we encourage you to post messages on ANY topic that interests you to CoCo - and to reply to other user's messages. 5. IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS/QUESTIONS: As the moderator/owner of the list, I'll be glad to help you out if you are having trouble, but please give it a go on your own first. You can contact me at: ewtileni@pucc.BITNET ewtileni@pucc.Princeton.EDU ewtileni%pucc.Bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu 6. SPECIAL NOTE TO UUCP USERS: The UUCP gateway here is unreliable. If you find you are not getting a response from the list, send me a message with a path, giving a nearyby ARPA or BITNET node. (For instance: moss!yoursite!yourname@RUTGERS.EDU - in this case, Rutgers can be used for your articles, and they should get there fine.) HAPPY HACKING! Enjoy the information and people who are on COCO! - ERIC - * Another proud CoCo 3 user * ______________ | | BITNET:ewtileni@pucc | ARPA:ewtileni@pucc.Princeton.EDU | ColorVenture | CompuServe: 70346,16 | MCI Mail and/or Delphi: TILENIUS |______________| PHONE :609-734-0092 | UUCP:{rutgers,cbosgd,cmcl2}!psuvax1!pucc.BITNET!ewtileni ------------------------------------- The views expressed in OS-9 Discussions are those of the individual authors only.
