McLaughlin Publisher & Editor - flash@FlashBack.COM ____________________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the first non-weekly edition of the Sun FlashBack! So far, I have published a couple of weekly FlashBack editions. It is my plan to produce editions like this one frequently and also offer a once per week edition. I will also offer a 'full' distribution option in the near future. Subscribers to flashback-f will recieve the full-text of all the articles automatically. The Sun FlashBack is an Electronic Journal for the users of Sun Microsystems computers. FlashBack will carry articles that do not originate from Sun Microsystems. E.g. o Non-Sun Product Descriptions (software and hardware) o New Release News (software and hardware) o Electronic Newsletters o Trade Show/Conference Announcements o Table of Contents from Relevant Trade Publications o Appropriate Text Books Announcements FlashBack is designed to compliment SunFlash, which is an Electronic Journal that now carries only articles that come from Sun Microsystems. You can obtain the full-text of any of the FlashBack articles by sending email to: flashback@flashback.com with the list of required articles in the subject line, thus % mailx flashback@flashback.com Subject: 1001 1003 ^D % You can add the line email-to yourname@your.domain if you know (or suspect) that your mail system does not generate proper mail headers. -johnj ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contents: 1034 - Starlight Networks Seeks Beta Sites for Solaris Video Server 1035 - Session Log from Microport Systems 1036 - Visual Thought 1.0: Multipurpose drawing and diagramming tool 1037 - ACCENTServer UNIX E-Newsletter 1038 - WEBster Table of Contents: October 11 1039 - Call for Participation: 9th Annual X Technical Conference 1040 - General Information About the Electronic Frontier Foundation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1034 - Starlight Networks Seeks Beta Sites for Solaris Video Server Last year Sun contracted with Starlight Networks, Inc. to port Starlight's popular video server software to a Solaris environment.
