Subject: Weekly Reminder + First Wave Flush
To: lightwave-l@netcom.com
Date: Sat, 11 Feb 1995 14:46:15 -0800 (PST)
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23]
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Length: 5071
Sender: owner-lightwave-l@netcom.com
Precedence: bulk
The first wave of address flushing is complete. My main concentration were
addresses where the host name was unknown. Those address where I just
couldn't verify the hostname were removed. Other addresses where domain and
host name needed changing were changed (and you should have seen a "Welcome"
message if your address was affected). I'll continue to be doing this more
often in an effort to help systems out there that have to pass these bounces
around.
Now back to the regularly scheduled reminder:
Last Update - December 17, 1994
This message is to serve as a reminder that this mailing list is oriented
towards topics on Lightwave. Messages really meant as private e-mail
should be directed to that person's internet address rather than the list.
Also, please use proper netiquette. Not everyone enjoys messages that
have previous messages quoted verbatim. Not everyone has 132 column
terminals. Please don't feel there's too many restrictions though. This
mailing list is meant for exchange of information.
Also keep in mind that your replies go directly to the author of the message
you are replying to. If you wish to have the reply directed to the mailing
list, you should use your e-mail software to change the address that the
message is going to rather than adding the mailing list in the cc: field
(carbon copy). By including it in the cc: field, the author of the message
that you are replying to will get TWO copies of the message.
Posting
-------
To post messages to the list, send e-mail to "lightwave-l@netcom.com".
Subscription Information
------------------------
To subscribe to this list, send e-mail to "listserv@netcom.com".
In the body of the message, include the following:
subscribe lightwave-l <optional address>
end
To unsubscribe from the list, follow the steps above to subscribe but
substitute "subscribe" with "unsubscribe" in the message body.
Lightwave Usenet Newsgroup
--------------------------
If you have access to the Usenet newsgroups, take a look for
comp.graphics.packages.lightwave. Currently, this newsgroup's messages
aren't being archived in an automatic way (if you are archiving them
automatically, please let me know!). Hopefully, I'll have a newsgroup
gateway into the mailing list so those on the mailing list that don't
have access to Usenet can participate in the newsgroup.
FTP Message Archives
--------------------
Messages from this list as well as the original list and temporary list
are kept on Netcom in my directory. You can FTP to "ftp.netcom.com".
Once you've logged in anonomously, cd to "/pub/dj/djmccoy/Lightwave".
These files are also available via e-mail. Send e-mail to
"ftp-request@netcom.com". Commands such as DIR, LS and SEND are
relative to the directory "/pub' so you must include the
directory you wish to access within the command.
Commands include:
DIR [directory]
LS [directory]
HELP
SEND path/file [splitsize]
SERVERINFO
For example, to get a list of the files in the Lightwave directory,
send the following in the body of the message.
DIR /pub/dj/djmccoy/Lightwave
or
LS /pub/dj/djmccoy/Lightwave
Questions or Other Items
------------------------
Questions and other list items can be directed to djmccoy@netcom.com or
owner-lightwave-l@netcom.com
Video Toaster Mailing List
--------------------------
If you are also interested in the Vidto Toaster mailing list, you can
subscribe by following the directions above under "Subscription
Information". Instead of sending "subscribe lightwave-l", substitute
"lightwave-l" with "toaster-l".
Other Sites and Information
---------------------------
Keith Christopher (keithc@library.welch.jhu.edu) has set up an FTP site
that contains a growing number of Lightwave oriented files (objects,
scenes, framestores, ARexx macros and much more). The Lightwave mailing
list message archives can also be found there.
The site is: tomahawk.welch.jhu.edu and the directory is: /pub/lw
For those of you who can use Mosaic, Keith Christopher has also set up
a nice Lightwave oriented Mosaic site at http://tomahawk.welch.jhu.edu/.
Looking for even more 3D Objects? avalon.chinalake.navy.mil has a large
collection of 3D objects in various file formats. Lightwave can directly
import some of them while others may need converting first via third
party object conversion programs like InterChange Plus and Pixel3D Pro.
