For better or worse...

...(more than likely, better) SERVER@TAMCBA is no longer a conference machine.
It operates only as a file server now.  It will accept the following commands:

      DIR          - sends a listing of available files
      SENDME       - sends a listing of available files
      SENDME fn ft - sends a particular file
      HELP         - gives a description of the commands

Thanks to Shawn L. Morrissey for the information.

Change for the better....

Some of you may remember way back to BITLIST 2-5 when I eleiminated the section
on Arpanet digests.  Well, it once again graces these pages with more complete
information on how to be added to the mailing lists.  Be sure to read the
warning at the bottom of the section.

/Links...

Jeffrey R. Kell has informed me of yet another Relay, this one at Ecole Haute
Et Commer Paris (did I get that right?). It is also known as RELAY@FRHEC11.

Naughty, naughty...

There still seem to be some chain letters floating around. Now, I know that I
don't have to tell you what a burden it is on the network. And I know that
I don't have to tell you how idiotic and inane a person looks when he/she/it
sends out a chain letter.  So I won't.

Virtually;

Chris
