More Admisistrivia...

(1) sos-data@unc.edu is a "mail alias" for sos-data@gibbs.oit.unc.edu.
Mail sent to _either_ of these addresses will be distributed to all list
subscribers.

(2) A few folk have had "unsubscribe" commands returned by Listserv with
the message "you are not subscribed to sos-data."  This "error" occurs
because the person is subscribed from a Bitnet address, but the
unsubscribe request comes from an Internet address.  The UNIX Listserv
doesn't see these as equivalent, and generates the error message.

Fortunately, I get a copy of these error messages and can easily
locate and delete the old address.  So, if you try to unsubscribe and
get an error message as described above, simply ignore it.  I'll remove
your old id from the subscription list.

Best,
Jim
