This reminder file is sent to the SYBASE-L list monthly. Last revised 02/27/96. To subscribe to the SYBASE-L list, send mail to LISTSERV@UCSBVM.UCSB.EDU (not to SYBASE-L nor SYBASE-L-request), with the single line in the body of the note: SUBSCRIBE SYBASE-L firstname lastname substituting your first and last names, of course. You will receive a validation message to which you must successfully reply prior to being added to the list. Submissions to the List should be sent to SYBASE-L@UCSBVM.UCSB.EDU and NOT to owner-sybase-l, which is my personal mailbox. Please note that this list may be obtained in Digest Format in which all postings for each day are shipped in a single note. To request SYBASE-L in this format, send a note to LISTSERV@UCSBVM.UCSB.EDU (not to SYBASE-L or SYBASE-L-request) with the following line in the body of the note: SET SYBASE-L DIGEST To revert to individual mailings, send a note with SET SYBASE-L NODIGEST SET list DIGEST (and other Server commands) - Please note that only submissions to the list should be sent to SYBASE-L. All requests, such as the DIGEST format, QUERY, REVIEW, GET, SUBSCRIBE, SET, UNSUBSCRIBE, etc. must be sent to the server itself, LISTSERV@UCSBVM.UCSB.EDU. Requests sent to SYBASE-L will get distributed to everyone on the list. Requests sent to SYBASE-L-request get put in my personal mailbox as List Owner and will be returned to you along with this reminder file. WARNING: If you are including original text in a reply to a previous posting, please DO NOT INCLUDE HEADER LINES such as those beginning with Reply-to:, Sender:, etc. that point to the list as such files are considered possible mail delivery error reports by LISTSERV and are reformatted and redirected by the server to my personal mailbox. When possible, I will return these files for resubmission, but don't count on it. The daily GET limit for LISTSERV has been increased such that one should be able to obtain copies of the monthly LOG files. If you are unable to do so due to the daily GET limit, please mail me directly. Users new to the use of L-Soft's LISTSERV are encouraged to read the online files LISTSERV REFCARD and LISTSERV GENINTRO, which can be obtained by sending the following commands in the body of a mail message to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.NET: INFO REFCARD INFO GENINTRO NOTE: if email to you from the list is rejected/returned to the server several times (intermediate nodes not available, userid or node name changes, full mailbox, or service down for several days) you may be removed from the list automatically (as a function of the L-Soft LISTSERV server itself). While a notice is usually sent, you may not receive it due to the failed pathway. To determine if this the cause of no list mail, attempt to resubscribe. If you are still subscribed, you will be advised. If you are not subscribed, this will be necessary to restart you subscription. UNSUBSCRIBE or SIGNOFF requests should be sent to the LISTSERV server, LISTSERV@UCSBVM.UCSB.EDU with a single line in the body of the message UNSUBSCRIBE SYBASE-L Archives of this list are provided in WEB accessible format by De Clarke at URL http://syborg.ucolick.org/~de/searcher.html. A worldwide list of local user groups is accessible at URL http://www.sybase.com/ISUG/lugs.html. If there is additional information that you feel should be placed in this reminder file, please send me a note offline. Dwight M.
