I've updated the info file for this list and put and HTML-ized version
in the list archive area. The URL is:

    http://www.ornl.gov/cts/archives/mailing-lists/decstation-managers.html

----
EVERYONE WHO RECEIVES THIS MESSAGE HAD BETTER READ IT THOROUGHLY.

This message is a summary of the decstation-managers charter and
rules.  Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in severe
chastisement by the list maintainer and other list participants.
Retain a copy of this statement and refer to it before submitting
messages to the list or the list administrator.

0:  Send DECstation management queries and summaries to
    decstation-managers@ornl.gov.

1:  This list is NOT moderated!  Every message that is sent to the
    list will be passed on to every member of the list (with a few
    small exceptions).

2:  This mailing list is managed by a utility called Majordomo.  You
    can add subscribe to the list by sending a message like:

	subscribe decstation-managers

    to Majordomo@ornl.gov.  Likewise, if you want to remove yourself 
    from the list, send the message:

	unsubscribe decstation-managers

    to the same address.

    For a complete list of Majordomo commands, use the command:

	help

    If you really need to talk to a human, try de5@ornl.gov.
    DO NOT bother the list with such requests!

3:  This list is intended to be a quick-turnaround trouble shooting
    aid for those who administer and manage DECstations.  Its primary
    purpose is to provide the DECstation manager with a quick source
    of information for time-critical system management problems.

4:  Answers to questions are to be mailed back to the questioner and
    are NOT to be sent to the entire list.  The person who originally
    asked the question has the responsibility of summarizing the
    answers and sending the entire summary back to the list.  When a
    summary is sent back to the list, it should contain the word
    "SUMMARY" as the first  word of the "Subject" line.

5:  Discussions on ANY topic are very strongly discouraged and will
    not normally be tolerated.

6:  If it is not specifically related to DECstation management, then
    it does NOT belong on this list.  Requests for vendor
    recommendations are tolerated, provided that the hardware in
    question is something that system managers normally purchase.

7:  Requests for software (free or otherwise) should be limited to
    software that is directly related to DECstation management.

8:  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...Think before you send a message!  Ask
    yourself "is this really appropriate?"  There are enough other
    newsgroups and mailing lists around to cover the marginal topics.
    Perhaps there is another forum that is more appropriate.

9:  DECstation-Managers messages are archived and available via
    the World Wide Web (WWW) and anonymous FTP.  The official Web
    archives are available at
    http://www.ornl.gov/cts/archives/mailing-lists/. The FTP archives
    are in
    ftp://ftp.ornl.gov/pub/archives/mailing_lists/decstation-managers/.
    Unofficial Web archives are available at
    http://www-archive.stanford.edu/mail-archs.html.
