Hi,

I will be gone for the next 6 weeks. Questions about the
AWARE list can be sent to Peter Arien.

I have added the welcome text for new users which contains
information on list-settings etc. (I said I would send this regularly)

I've send a SET AWARE NOMAIL to the listserv so my mailbox will
not get overflooded when I'm gone.

C.U.

Newsgroup:            BIT.LISTSERV.AUTHORWARE
                      This newsgroup has a bi-directional link
                      with the mailing list.

List owner:           Peter Arien
                      peter.arien@cc.kuleuven.cc.be

Co-owner:             Danny Engelman

<EOP>

HOW TO SUBSCRIBE AND UNSUBSCRIBE                      page 3
================================

You can subscribe to this list by sending a
"SUBSCRIBE AWARE <your name>" command to the listserv address.

   example:
   SUBSCRIBE AWARE Peter Arien

You may leave the list at any time by sending a
"SIGNOFF AWARE" or "UNSUBSCRIBE AWARE" command to
the listserv address.

!! Remember the listserv address is :

     LISTSERV@CC1.KULEUVEN.AC.BE

   The listserver knows you by your email address! That is
   the email address it finds in the email message you send
   to (un)subscribe.
   If you want to unsubscribe from another email address,
   contact the (co-)listowner.
<EOP>

HOW TO SEND MESSAGES TO THE LIST                      page 4
================================

To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to
the list, just send mail to the list address

               AWARE@CC1.KULEUVEN.AC.BE

This is called "sending mail to the list", because you send
mail to a single address and LISTSERV makes copies for all the
people who have subscribed.

You must NEVER try to send any COMMAND to that address, as it
will be distributed to all people subscribed.

HOW TO SEND COMMANDS                                  page 5
====================

Sending commands means: sending mail to the listserv address
(LISTSERV@CC1.KULEUVEN.AC.BE), and putting the command(s) in
the mailmessage text.

Example:

     To:LISTSERV@CC1.KULEUVEN.AC.BE
     Subject:
     Text of Message:
     INFO REFCARD

When you send the command INFO REFCARD to the listserv address
you get a textfile describing all commands you can send to the
listserv.

Some interesting commands are:

     REVIEW AWARE
     Result:    you get a list of all subscribers Email
                addresses

     REVIEW AWARE COUNTRIES
     Result:    you get the same list sorted by country

     REVIEW AWARE COUNTRIES SHORT
     Result:    you only get the total subscribers per country

     INDEX AWARE
     Result:    you get an overview of all files which can be
                downloaded with the GET command

     GET LOG0494
     Result:    you get the archive of mail messages of
                april 1994 (see HOW TO GET MAIL ARCHIVES)

     SET AWARE DIGESTS
     Result:    see HOW TO RECEIVE MAIL DIGESTS
<EOP>

HOW TO RECEIVE MAIL DIGESTS                           page 6
===========================

With the command SET AWARE DIGEST you can tell the listserver
that you don't want to receive individual messages, but daily
digests. To change this again from digest to mail, you send
the command SET AWARE MAIL.


HOW TO GET MAIL ARCHIVES
========================

Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived.
You can get a list of the available archive files by sending
an INDEX AWARE command to the listserv address.
You can then order these files with a GET AWARE LOGxxxx
command. The xxxx-s in LOGxxxx are the year and the month. To
get the log of april 1994, send the command GET AWARE LOG9403.


WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU GO OUT OFF TOWN
===================================

When you don't want to receive any Email from the list for
some time you can either:

     *     Unsubscribe from the list.

     *     Instruct the listserv to hold all sending of
           messages to your Email address.
           This can be done by sending the following command to
           the listserv address.

           SET AWARE NOMAIL

           When you want to receive Email again you must send
           the message.

           SET AWARE MAIL
<EOP>

HOW TO QUERY THE DATABASE                             page 7
=========================

All messages to this discussion list are archived. This means
that messages are collected into a database that is searchable
by keyword, date, writer's name, etc.

You search the database by sending commands to the listserv
address. Send an INFO DATABASE command to the listserv address
for more information on the use of the listserv database
functions.

An example database command looks like this:

   // JOB ECHO=NO
   DATABASE SEARCH DD=RULES
   //RULES DD *
   SEARCH DLL OR XCMD IN AWARE SINCE 01-JAN-94
   INDEX
   PRINT

The first three lines must be exactly the same in every
database command message.
<EOP>

READING THE AWARE LIST USING USENET/NETNEWS           page 8
===========================================

If you don't know what usenet/netnews is, then don't read
this paragraph.
For those who want to read the aware mailing list via
usenet/netnews, there is an official authorware newsgroup:

       BIT.LISTSERV.AUTHORWARE

This newsgroup has a bi-directional link with the mailing list.
Everything sent to the list goes to the newsgroup, and
everything sent to the newsgroup goes to the list. Remember
that mail sent to the list will reach the listmembers much
faster than a posting in the newsgroup.
<EOP>

WHERE TO FIND INTERESTING SOFTWARE                    page 9
==================================

FTP sites at:

     PLOMO.ING.PUC.CL
           Interesting dll and xcmd files in the
           /pub/multimedia/AW/XCMD &
           /pub/multimedia/AW/DLL directories

           You can upload here in the /incoming directory
           You then have to mail the FTP-site owner
           Marcelo Vasquez <ATREYUS@ING.PUC.CL>
           you put something for the AW area there.

     ITHACA.ICBL.HW.AC.UK
           /pub/authorware
           Lots of .apw and .dll/.ucd examples.

     M-MEDIA.MUOHIO.EDU
           /MultiMedia

           With lots of (apple) demo files.

Info on ftp-through-email can be retreived from the
listserver with the command GET FTPMAIL TXT
