INFO-MAC@SUMEX-AIM is a network interest group for the Apple Macintosh
computer. This list is SUMEX's contribution to the community of research
and instructional developers of the Macintosh. We welcome all
submissions of messages and programs in this spirit.

The Info-Mac digest is distributed via arpanet mail to over 100 sites,
which then redistribute it to individual addresses. This hierachial
method makes the mail load manageable for the SUMEX host. To receive the
digest, check with your system bboard manager and if they don't yet
receive it, then request a copy be sent to a local bboard address (e.g.
Info-Mac@HOST). 

Other networks also have access to the digest. Redistribution to CSNet
addresses is taken care of by Postmaster@CSNet-Relay and to BITNET by
gg.jdn@Stanford.bitnet Usenet receives a copy called fa.info-mac.

For Arpa sites with FTP access to SUMEX-AIM, archives for INFO-MAC are
kept under {SUMEX-AIM}<INFO-MAC>ARCHIVE.<month>, where month =
feb84,mar84,...jan85,...  Programs submitted to the bulletin board,
along with documentation files and other references are also stored in
<INFO-MAC>, and listed in the file 00DIR.  With FTP access as user
"anonymous" and any password, you can bring these files over to your host
and download them to your Macintosh. (Downloading is still somewhat a
black art..)"Usenet" and some of the other networks that copy info-mac
will see sources redistributed at the time they are mentioned in the
digest distributions.  You can in addition, purchase a dump tape of the
directory; see the file <INFO-MAC>00ORDER.

<INFO-MAC> is also the repository for the development tools and utilities
developed at SUMEX and at other universities. The "sumacc" cross 
compiler is also available on tape for a minimal charge: See the
file <INFO-MAC>SUMACC.ORDER 

Submissions are scanned to filter out any list requests, questions
previously answered, pure speculation or opinion, or message obviously
not in line with the stated purpose of the list.  Submissions should
be made directly to INFO-MAC@SUMEX-AIM.

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, also comments
about operations, problems, and administrative questions, should be sent
to INFO-MAC-REQUEST@SUMEX-AIM.

Enjoy!
