This is the first time that I have issued 100 articles in a single month. The new 'Abstracts' or digest style articles, such as this one, make it possible for me to increase the number of articles that I make available without drowning everyone in email. However, for those people who want all the articles and are prepared to deal with 100+ articles a month, I have created a new distribution option: Daily (or direct) - about 1 message per day, including Abstracts type articles - monthly digest Weekly (or indirect) - 1 message per week Monthly - 1 message per month Full (or total or verbose) - all articles. 100+ per month. Often posted in groups of 4 to 10 at a time. - suitable of redistribution via local newsgroups or for local archiving I will add one of these key words into the SunFlash mail headers in the near future so that you will know which distribution you are getting. Almost everyone is in the Daily distribution. If you want to have your distribution type changed, please send mail to flash@sun.com. I encourage people to change to the Weekly distribution. The e-mail auto responder works well and by keeping track of which articles are being requested, I get hints about what type of material people find useful. You may want to suggest to your fellow Sun users who don't subscribe to SunFlash because of the message volume that they may now want to subscribe to the Weekly or Monthly distributions. These articles have not been previously posted to SunFlash. They are available from flashadm@sun.com by email only. You may request the full text of any of these articles by sending mail to flashadm@sun.com with a list of 1 or more space seperated article numbers (e.g. 62.32) in the Subject line. Please try to place the article numbers in the Subject line, not in the message body. Articles that are of the correct format will be answered quickly by a program. I will eventually answer all others. -johnj (7 articles, 52Kb, 986 lines - about 15 US pages) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article Size In Title Number Kb/lines 63.93 5 100 Uniflix 3.1 Offers Video On Demand 63.94 7 135 Port Windows, Visual C++ Apps to UNIX 63.95 4 72 Building a Successful Software Business 63.96 13 221 HPCwire Table of Contents: March 25 63.97 9 204 Open Systems E-mail with MIME and MAPI 63.98 8 144 Rational Rose O-O Analysis, Design Tool 63.99 6 110 Rational C++ Code Generation Totals: 52 986 How To Request An Article - Example ----------------------------------- %mail flashadm@sun.com Subject: 63.39 63.40 ^D % Please place the list of space seperated articles numbers on the same line as the Subject keyword. -johnj ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abstracts ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 63.93 Paradise Uniflix 3.1 Offers Video On Demand From: paradise@why.paradise.com (Paradise Software) Paradise Software, Inc., announced the release of version 3.1 of the Uniflix(TM) Toolkit, a software package for the decompression and display of digital video from hard disk, CD-ROM, or for transmission over a network.
