The Ptolemy mailing lists are run by the Majordomo mailing list
server. This server can automatically subscribe you to mailing lists
and it can send you monthly archive files for each of the lists. To
find out more about our Majordomo sever, send an email letter to:
majordomo@ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu with the word
help in the body of the letter.
Ptolemy Interest Mailing list
This moderated mailing list is for Ptolemy announcements only. Thus,
you cannot post to this group. The amount of mail here is kept very
light (a few messages a year).
To subscribe to the ptolemy-interest mailing list, send mail to:
ptolemy-interest-request@ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu with
the word subscribe in the body (not the subject) of the
letter.
All mail to ptolemy-interest also goes to ptolemy-hackers, so if
you subscribe to ptolemy-hackers, there is no need to subscribe to
ptolemy-interest too.
Ptolemy Hackers Mailing list
This is a discussion list for Ptolemy questions, bug reports, and to
share Ptolemy additions and applications. Since this is a discussion
group, mail volume can sometimes be heavy. All mail sent to Ptolemy-
hackers is automatically cross posted to the comp.soft-sys.ptolemy
newsgroup.
To subscribe to the ptolemy-hackers mailing list, send mail to:
ptolemy-hackers-request@ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu with
the word subscribe in the body of the letter. To leave
the newsgroup put the word unsubscribe in the body of
your message.
comp.soft-sys.ptolemy
Just like the ptolemy-hackers mailing list, the comp.soft-sys.ptolemy newsgroup
is a forum of the discussion of Ptolemy questions, bug reports,
additions, and applications. Note that all mail sent to the
ptolemy-hackers mailing list is automatically posted to the
comp.soft-sys.ptolemy newsgroup as well.
There are several ways to search the Ptolemy-hackers archives
- Use the local WAIS (Wide Area Information Servers) server.
The database consists of basically all of the messages ever sent
to ptolemy-hackers, including messages before the creation
of the
comp.soft-sys.ptolemy newsgroup. This is
a no-frills interface, but the database is the most complete
of all of the archives.
If you are running Mosaic2.0 with WAIS (Wide Area Information Servers)
compiled in, you can query the Ptolemy-Hackers mailing list directly.
If you are using Netscape, then try using the indirect method.
Note that with the indirect method, the titles will be more obscure.
With both methods, you may use compound searches, such as : sgi
AND linking
- Search the
comp.soft-sys.ptolemy
newsgroup. Messages posted to ptolemy-hackers show up on
comp.soft-sys.ptolemy, however,
comp.soft-sys.ptolemy has not been around as long as
ptolemy-hackers. Also, some messages posted to ptolemy-hacker are
never seen on comp.soft-sys.ptolemy because the news
daemon rejects them because they do not include enough new information.
(Sorry this is a campus wide news server, there is little we can do about it).
