[My thanks to John O'Brien of Nova U. and Andrew Mossberg of U Miami.]

(A private Sun archive is also maintained on newstop.ebay - that
archive cannot be accessed from outside of Sun.)

Note that I update the archive machines once per month.

An indexed archive of the 1989 and 1990 Florida SunFlash will appear
on the SUG CD-ROM (see the upcoming SunFlash).

The subject lines from 1990 will be in an upcoming SunFlash.

I am trying to obtain more resources to improve the SunFlash service.
Any suggestions on how to improve the service would be welcomed.
Similarly, endorsements that can be used to build a case for
allocating more resources are requested. i.e., if you find this
service valuable, send me a message to that effect!  Please include:

To: flash@sunvice.east.sun.com
Subject: endorsement

	|>your name<| 	|>title<|
	|>company/school<|
	|>department<|
	|>location:country, state, city<|
	|>approximate number of suns at your location<|
	|>approximate number of sun users<|

This collection of SunFlash endorsements will only be used as I've described.
