Just after BITLIST 3-12 went to the presses a note from John Voigt arrived in my reader announcing the availability of the file server TCSSERVE@TCSVM. A marvelous event, a new file server... something that doesn't happen often enough. So I smiled and prepared to add it to this weeks 'list. Tuesday I strolled over to my electronic mailbox. What did I find but a note from Henry Nussbacher! He passed onto me the announcement of new info servers in Arpanet. Stupendous... two new file servers in the same week! Who could ask for anything more? So... Wednsday I checked my mail, not expecting to find much. Of course Harri Salminen sent me the news about the new file server at Helsinki Univer- sity, SILMARIL@FINHUTC. Absolutely Tremendous...! Three file server announcements in the same week! So grab your hat and hold your heart. Here comes the marvelous, stupendous, absolutely tremendous news, as well as a few other tidbits. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Received: from TCSVM(MAILER) by YALEVMX (Mailer X1.21) id 8507; Fri, 07 Feb 86 13:41:47 EST Received: by TCSVM (Mailer X1.22) id 6130; Fri, 07 Feb 86 08:54:53 CST Date: Fri, 7 Feb 1986 08:49 CST From: John Voigt - Systems Group Tulane Subject: TCSSERVE now available To: Chris Condon Hi Chris: Just a note to let you know that the file server at Tulane is now fully functional. Currently we have the IBM7171 NOTEBOOK for the LISTSERV list that we run archived, as well as the REXXLIST NOTEBOOK, special tables of interest only to 7171 and Series/1 protocol converter users, and all the issues of NutWorks that I had. The current copy of BITLIST is also available with the filename BITLIST LETTER. If you need any additional information, please drop me a note. John Voigt Systems Group - Computer Services Dept. +--+ +--+ TCSSERVE@TCSVM responds to the following commands: HELP - where is HELP, DIR or SENDME. You will be sent more information on how to use a particular command. If the parameter is omitted a list of valid commands is sent. DIRectory - You will be sent a list of files that are currently available to all TCSSERVE users. SENdme - where is the filename and filetype of the file you want to be sent to you. *PLEASE NOTE* - TCSSERVE sends you files in the SENDFILE format. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Received: from CUNYVM(MAILER) by YALEVMX (Mailer X1.23b) id 7151; Tue, 11 Feb 86 12:11:04 EST Received: by CUNYVM (Mailer X1.23) id 8622; Tue, 11 Feb 86 12:09:06 EST Resent-Date: Tue, 11 Feb 86 12:08 EST Resent-From: Henry Nussbacher Resent-To: For your next issue. From: "Charlotte D. Mooers" Subject: Announcing the CSNET Info Server A new automated mail-based Info Server began service at the CIC on csnet-sh.arpa, in January 1986. This is the official announcement. The Info Server receives mail requests and automatically sends the requested documents by return mail. The request format is patterned on that of the MOSIS system, which is familiar to many CSNET users. A sample message might be: From: user@member-site To: info@csnet-sh.arpa Subject: anything (or nothing) REQUEST: INFO TOPIC: HELP TOPIC: SITES-1 REQUEST: RFC TOPIC: RFC822 REQUEST: END The Info Server is forgiving about upper and lower case letters and spacing in the request message. When the Info Server receives this request, it immediately returns one message for each topic, plus a "receipt" message. In this case, the topic messages would contain a HELP document, including instructions and a concise list of INFO topics, a list of CSNET sites (sites-1), and a copy of the report "Standard for the Format of ARPA Internet Text Messages" (RFC822). There are now three classes of request, each with its own HELP topic. The HELP documents list the order code, title and length of each topic document. The topics intially available in "REQUEST: INFO" are updated versions of the documents previously distributed as CSNET Info Messages. "REQUEST: RFC" contains selected RFC ("Request for Comments") documents published by the DDN Network Control Center (NIC). "REQUEST: SOURCES" contains source code files of interest to CSNET users, such as Sendmail configuration files. The Info Server can be requested to split documents longer than an arbitrary limit. If a host computer has a limit on the length of messages it will accept, the user can include a line such as "LINE-LIMIT: 1000" or "BYTE-LIMIT: 25K". You can redirect the documents to some other mailbox, by including a standard Reply-to: field in the header of the message (NOT as part of the request in the body of the message). A request message using these features might be: From: user@member-site To: info@csnet-sh.arpa Subject: anything (or nothing) Reply-to: other-user@other-site request: sources byte-limit: 15K topic: help topic: gatech request: end If the Info Server can't decipher a request, it automatically sends a short HELP message with appropriate instructions. If you want your message to be seen by a human being, we prefer that you send to cic@csnet-sh.arpa, but we also conform to MOSIS grammar; you can get the same effect by including a line of the form REQUEST: ATTENTION in your request message to info@csnet-sh.arpa. The CSNET Info Server was developed by the CIC staff, using utilities in MMDF II. +--+ +--+ Received: from CUNYVM(MAILER) by YALEVMX (Mailer X1.23b) id 7423; Tue, 11 Feb 86 12:56:16 EST Received: by CUNYVM (Mailer X1.23) id 9864; Tue, 11 Feb 86 12:54:20 EST Date: Tue, 11 Feb 1986 12:50 EST From: Henry Nussbacher Subject: More on Csnet To: Synopsis: Info@Csnet-Sh.Arpa - File server Registrar@Csnet-Sh.Arpa - Name server Cic@Csnet-Sh.Arpa - Register your name in Csnet database All three servers accept *only* RFC822 mail.

It's name is SILMARIL at FINHUTC and it has now all kinds of files from other servers, magazines and mailing lists from BITNET and ARPANET, locally made utilities and subroutines, all kinds of information of different networks and games. It's file collection is bit messy now but I'll be cleaned soon. It can also give information about our system mainly useful for local use from our other machines. If you'd put it on bitlist I'll see how well it takes the load.... I also include the Silmaril Info file and Silmaril Filelist for your reference. Yours sincerely Harri Salminen Systems programmer LK-HS at FINHUTC Helsinki U. of Technology Comp. Centre Finland +--+ +--+ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> S I L M A R I L at F I N H U T C <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>>>>> General Information Manual Rel 1.0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Espoo 1986-02-09 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Silmaril is a general purporose network server for distributing programs, magazines and other files, getting information of FINHUTC and other interesting uses. Silmaril is located at IBM 4341-12 CAE machine at the Helsinki University of Technology Computing Centre in Espoo, Finland 4 nodes east from BITNIC. We are using CATIA, CADAM, CBDS2, CAEDS, GDQF, GDDM etc and we'd like to exchange experiences with other IBM CAE administrators and systems programmers. Files are sent in netdata, disk dump, print or punch formats as defined in your node's entry in the nodes file, but there's still a punch option just in case... Contributions of interesting files are accepted to our growing collection. Files in the Restrict Filelist are restricted to local distribution in the get command. Many of the files are also available from other servers mentioned in bitlist so please check them before transferring megabytes to the other end of the network... LOCAL USERS NOTE: These files are on public disks directly accessible through USE EARN, MAGAZINE, UFO, TEKOLA and PELIT commands. Silmaril commands: HELP Gives you a shorthand syntax of commands via direct messages DIR ( Automatically makes an uptodate commented list of available files and sends it to you in a suitable format file. Punch is optional. GET ( Sends a explicitly named file to you in a suitable format. No *'s are allowed. Punch is optional. Files in restrict filelist are restricted to local distribution, which is informed. WHO ( Gives a list of users in the system, system load, uptime etc. Option all gives also names of system virtual machines. If substring is given who displays the mathing id's and names. Departmental codes: A - Department of Architecture KO - Department of Mechanical Engineering LK - Computing Centre alias HUTCC alias TeKoLa R - Department of Civil Engineering S - Department of Electrical Engineering Y - Department of General Sciences, CS, Math., Fys. etc. INFO Graf tells the status of 3250 and 5080 graphics workstations. PRinter tells the status of the real printer and the status of the system printer queue. PLotter lists the system plotter queue. Tape tells the status of the tape station(s). All is all of the above combined. Help gives this text. FEEDBACK message This leaves a message to silmaril's feedback file for the administrator. Use it for reporting problems, expressing your opinions of silmaril, suggestions etc. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The other news... RELAY@CZHRZU1A is now an active Relay conference machine. Thanks to Christain Schaeke for the news. Bob Baker tells me that back issues of CLUB magazine can now be obtained by sending him a note at his userid, BBAKER@MAINE. Many thanks to John Voigt, Henry Nussbacher and Harri Salminen for the information they sent me.
