This is not a question, but a welcome reminder to some of our newcomers. Some of the newer sign ups joining our community might not be aware of some cool stuff that supports this discussion group & for the longer time participants you might want to check back to http://www.midrange.com occasionally since the site gets occasional face lifts & lots of new goodies. http://archive.midrange.com Copies of past postings are here in which the e-mail addresses of the participants have been stripped away to protect us from spam miners, and we can do a search of a particular list, or search ALL, for some topic that has come up in past discussions, or just recurring seasonal hot topics like year end hassles, deciphering ERP costs http://archive.midrange.com/bpcs-l/index.htm or you can go direct to the archives of a particular group http://www.midrange.com/liststats.htm Here are statistics on how many people are involved in the various discussion lists. http://test.midrange.com David is working on a major new version of how the site works, now hosted by AS/400, & wants people to check it out & let him know if there are any problems to fix that he might have overlooked. Send an e-mail, not to this discussion list, but to MAJORDOMO@midrange.com the subject does not matter in the body put the word help nothing else You get back a message text listing all the commands you can send to MAJORDOMO, and what they mean, like a mini-manual if you put the word "end" on a line after the commands, that prevents it from treating your sig like it is a set of commands, thus help end Suppose you misplaced the introduction that you get when you first sign up for a list & now your e-mail address is changing & you want to see how to end the subscription to the old address & move it to the new address, you can get another copy of those instructions via intro bpcs-l end or whatever the list is you want the instructions again for We can do things like get at statistics on the traffic in our list like the following: Mail Traffic Report for list 'midrange-l' for Sun Jan 7 17:45:01 2001 ======================================================================== Report
