1/555556 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 25 Apr 94 11:02:27 NDT From: Dave Liverman To: John Kingston Subject: proliferating listservs here's another one..... QUATERNARY LISTSERV A new listserv has been created for all interested in research in the Quaternary sciences, particularly, but not exclusively in Canada. This listserv was established through the initiative of the Canadian Quaternary Association, with the assistance of Memorial University of Newfoundland, and the Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy. We hope that this will be of interest to anyone with an interest in the Quaternary geological period, including geologists, geomorphologists, soil scientists, palaeoenvironmentalists, archaeologists,palaeontologists, geochronologists, palynologists, and others. A listserv consits of an automated mailing list. Any message sent to the list is automatically passed on to all susbscribers on the list. Typical messages consists of announcements of conferences, field trips, job vacancies, new papers, requests for assistance in locating references, people and resources, and anything that the list members think appropriate. This is a useful medium for groups whose members are geographically widespread. For it to be effective we need to build up our numbers to 100 or so, so please forward this message to anybody who you think may be interested. SUBSCIPTION INSTRUCTIONS To subscribe send the following message to listserv@morgan.ucs.mun.ca SUBSCRIBE QUATERNARY Your name You should recieve acknowledgement of your subscription.

Some of the commonly used commands have changed slightly, so I am listing these below for your reference. Please save this document! Note that the address for messages to the list(quaternary@morgan.ucs.mun.ca), and the adddress for subscribing, unsubscribing, and other administrative matters (listserv@morgan.ucs.mun.ca) has NOT changed. I'm still trying to work out how to archive messages, and retrieve them. in the meantime, you can use FTP to obtain files of each month of Quaternary postings at FTP zeppo.geosurv.gov.nf.ca cd pub/quaternary ls -gives you a list of files. Talk to your local internet guru if this means nothing to you!
