Hi All,
Sorry for the delay in getting around to fixing this, I had the
flu last week. Edgar asks:

> Is the FAQ for alt-photo-process ready? If so where is it?

I have finally got around to fixing the archives. If you send
the message "INDEX ALT-PHOTO-PROCESS" to listproc@vast.unsw.edu.au you
should get a reply which looks kind of like this:

Archive: alt-photo-process (path: listproc/alt-photo-process) -- Files:
faq (1 part, 23332 bytes) -- Frequently Asked Questions
archive-9403 (2 parts, 65484, 20718 bytes) -- Archives - March 1994
archive-9404 (2 parts, 65506, 41743 bytes) -- Archives - April 1994
archive-9405 (2 parts, 65534, 39985 bytes) -- Archives - May 1994
archive-9406 (1 part, 65028 bytes) -- Archives - June 1994
archive-9407 (1 part, 58508 bytes) -- Archives - July 1994
archive-9408 (3 parts, 65531, 65513, 4554 bytes) -- Archives - August 1994
archive-9409 (1 part, 16387 bytes) -- Archives - September 1994

Subarchive: current-archive (path: listproc/alt-photo-process/current-archive)

To retrieve any of the archives, send the message (for example,
for the faq):

get listproc/alt-photo-process faq

where the listproc/alt-photo-process is the path in the INDEX info
above, and faq is the file. The files are automatically split into 64k
chunks so as not to confuse older mailer daemons. The size of the chunks
is in brackets after the archive name. The files are sent as text.
The FAQ is a modified version of a draft sent to me by Gord. I
reformatted it a bit to read easier on a terminal, and corrected a few
typos. (Gord if there is anything wrong with it, let me know.)
This all has to be done manually (worse luck), so if you notice
the archives getting a bit behind, send me some email and I'll
straighten them out again (now that I have worked out how :-)).

cheers
