Dear networker,
Your subscription to list TECHWR-L (Technical Writers List; for all Technical
Communication issues) has been accepted.
Note: your distribution options have been defaulted as per the "SET TECHWR-L
REPRO" command.
You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF TECHWR-L" command to
LISTSERV -at- OSUVM1 -dot- BITNET (or LISTSERV -at- VM1 -dot- UCC -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU). Please note that this
command must NOT be sent to the list address (TECHWR-L -at- OSUVM1) but to the
LISTSERV address (LISTSERV -at- OSUVM1).
The amount of acknowledgement you wish to receive from this list upon
completion of a mailing operation can be changed by means of a "SET TECHWR-L
option" command, where "option" may be either "ACK" (mail acknowledgement),
"MSGACK" (interactive messages only) or "NOACK".
Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can obtain a
list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX TECHWR-L" command to
LISTSERV -at- OSUVM1 -dot- BITNET (or LISTSERV -at- VM1 -dot- UCC -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU). These files can then
be retrieved by means of a "GET TECHWR-L filetype" command, or using the
database search facilities of LISTSERV. Send an "INFO DATABASE" command for
more information on the latter.
Please note that it is presently possible for anybody to determine that you
are signed up to the list through the use of the "REVIEW" command, which
returns the network address and name of all the subscribers. If you do not wish
your name to be available to others in this fashion, just issue a "SET TECHWR-L
CONCEAL" command.
More information on LISTSERV commands can be found in the LISTSERV reference
card, which you can retrieve by sending an "INFO REFCARD" command to
