NOTICE:

1) Over the next few days the Devmedia listserv address and software will be
changing.  This decision comes from the Computer Support Services people
at the University of Guelph in order to enhance all listserv's on the
University system.  I will shortly be sending you notices and reminders
about the change and asking you to remember the new address.  This change
will not be easy to administer, so it is IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO TAKE NOTE
AND FOLLOW ADVICE CLOSELY.  Hopefully this will be a relatively painless
transition - your help and attention will facilitate a smooth transition.

EFFECTIVE *February 26, 1996* the new address will be:
devmedia@listserv.uoguelph.ca  (replacing the simpler: devmedia@uoguelph.ca)

Obviously, this will be an inconvenient change for all of us, but we have
to grin and bear it.  I am told that the new software and system
capabilities will make the aggravation worth while (I've heard that one
before... I wonder if it will be true this time?)

Also EFFECTIVE February 26, 1996 the listserv address for sending
commands and subscribing/unsubscribing will change to:
listserv@listserv.uoguelph.ca   (replacing the simpler: listserv@uoguelph.ca)


2) In preparation for the change I am doing some major housecleaning,
re-checking subscriber addresses and deleting "dead" subscribers.  If I
inadvertently delete your address, please do not take it personally.
Just re-subscribe.

If you are tired of the list and want to unsubscribe, you can send a
message to the current address (after Feb. 26 you must use the new address):

listserv@uoguelph.ca

with the text message:

unsubscribe devmedia (with no other text or signature files)

If you receive a message back that says that you are "not subscribed to
devmedia" this usually means that your system administrator(s) have
changed your mailing address making it different from the one you originally
used to subscribe.  This means that I will likely have to manually
unsubscribe you, and I *will* if you give me a few days time.

Cheers,
