Molecular Simulations does maintain several mailing lists for its users. I'll append a copy of the announcement document below describing how to subscribe and some information about these lists. Regards, Bob Funchess PS Some fonts do not sufficiently distinguish between the number "1" and the lowercase letter L. All the lists below end with -L, not with -1. Commands sent to listproc are not case sensitive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The MSI Scientific Support Bulletin Board mailing lists are intended to provide an informal forum for users of MSI products to discuss various aspects of the programs. The lists are NOT designed to be an official channel for product support; all requests for technical product support should continue to go through the Scientific Support hotline or via e-mail to the phone, fax, and e-mail addresses provided on this page. There are currently three mailing lists generally available on the MSI Scientific Support Bulletin Board which uses the ListProcessor 6.0(c) software. The lists are: QUANTA-L (address: quanta-l@msi.com) This list is for users of QUANTA and related programs (e.g. ChemNote). Discussion on CHARMm is also welcome here. (MSI is not affiliated with, nor does it support, the separate CHARMM bulletin board administered by Donovan Chin. Users of academic CHARMM who wish to subscribe to this bulletin board should direct their request to charmm-bbs-sysop@emperor.harvard.edu). C2-L (address: c2-l@msi.com) This list is for users of Cerius2. This list replaces the earlier XGRAF-L and CERIUS-L lists. XPLOR-L (address: xplor-l@msi.com) This list is for users of X-PLOR (stand-alone or using the X-ray Structure or NMR Structure interfaces between QUANTA and X-PLOR.) All users interact with the bulletin boards by e-mail. The server understands a limited set of requests. Users send e-mail to the server when they wish to have a request processed. If users want to send a message to one of the mailing lists, they would send e-mail to the list instead. In order to subscribe to any of the lists, a user should send e-mail to the server (for MSI, this address is: listproc@msi.com) with a request of the format: subscribe where should let people know who the subscriber is. For example, if Bob Funchess wanted to subscribe to the QUANTA-L mailing list, he would send an e-mail message to listproc@msi.com consisting of the line: subscribe quanta-l Bob Funchess A subscriber may send messages to the list. This is a regular e-mail message addressed to the list address itself (not the server address!). Any messages sent to the list address will be automatically distributed to all subscribers. A subscriber who wishes to be taken off the distribution list should send this message to the server listproc@msi.com; for example: unsubscribe quanta-l For information on other commands, the server accepts help requests of the form: help [topic] If no topic is specified, the general help file will be sent. Each mailing list has its messages automatically archived on a monthly basis. In addition, some of the archives contain other useful files that can be sent via e-mail upon request. To access the archives, an 'index' request is sent to listproc@msi.com to find out what archives are available and what files may be obtained from these archives. A user then may request one or more files via a 'get' request. For example: get xplor xplor.bat will send the file xplor.bat from that archive. In the case of binary files, what the user receives is a uuencoded file, possibly split into several parts depending on its size. Archives may be searched with the 'search' command. We hope you find this new service to be of use to you. Please send any comments or suggestions to the MSI Scientific Support group or to the bulletin board itself! -- Dr. Robert B.
