 ANNOUNCING A NEW WAY TO FIND OUT WHAT'S NEW FOR OS/2:
 
 I've created a new mailing list service that delivers a list of all the
new
 OS/2 files to your email box every day or once a week.
 
 There are two different forms of the email messages and two different
time
 periods for updates.  I'm offering the email messages in both text and
HTML
 formats.  If you're using an email program that can display HTML such
as
 Netscape Navigator, the HTML format is both more visually appealing and
more
 convenient then the ASCII text counterpart.
 
 Both types of mailings include the list of all the new files posted
here plus
 the full URLs of the files, file size, and complete file description.
With
 Netscape, subscribers simply click on the URL in your mailer and the
file is
 sent to you.  With other mailers that have URL support you can
similarly
 download the file almost immediately.  With MR/2 ICE for instance, you
click
 the URL then right-click and select "web browser".
 
 I'm offering the file lists I generate here daily including the daily
update
 and the new files posted over the last week.  Weekly updates will be
mailed
 every Saturday.  Daily updates are mailed usually between 10:00 AM and
12:00
 noon.
 
 To subscribe to any of the lists, send an email message to:
 
    lyris@bbs.os2bbs.com
 
 The message subject will be ignored and can simply be left blank.
 
 In the MESSAGE BODY, place the command:
 
    subscribe "list-name"
 
 where "list-name" is one of the following:
 
    os2new-1day-html
    os2new-1day-text
    os2new-1week-html
    os2new-1week-text
 
 Unsubscribing works exactly the same way but you say "unsubscribe" in
 place of "subscribe"
 
 The service obviously has the greatest utility for BBS subscribers but
it is
 valuable just the same to everyone.  Please feel free to use the email
 announcements to help you choose whether you want to call the BBS that
day via
 telnet or via the dialup network.  All the files on the BBS are
available to
 anyone.  There is no subscription requirement, and no upload/download
ratios.
 
 Feedback on the new service is welcome.  Please send email to
 pnorloff@os2bbs.com or leave a message on the BBS.
 
 Thanks very much.
