Due to overwhelming demand, I am now supporting two versions of how
WORKS is being distributed, both the digest and the direct mail
approach. I expect that the direct approach will be most useful for
those who want to contribute to the list, while digests will be more
useful to those users who are only interested in reading what goes on.

The digest will tend to lag behind the discussion, there is some
middle ground (if there is about 6000 characters of mail to go out
each day then there will be a daily digest), but most of the time
digests may either be sparse (due to lack of discussion), or very
large and frequent (lagging behind the overwhelming discussion).
Either way, there are now two ways you can be on the list.

If you are receiving this message in the form of a message addressed
to you, then you are on the direct mail list. If you receive this as
an "Administrivia" to the normal digest, then are on the digest list.
In any event, you can be switched back and forth at will by sending
mail to WorkS-REQUEST@MIT-AI.

Oh, yes. My apologies to all who received more than one copy of one of
the messages sent to WorkS. I had inadvertently created a loop in the
list in the process of splitting the list in two. This has been fixed
now. 

			Enjoy,
