You can now get papers from an Enterprise Integration archive electronically, even if you don't have Internet FTP facilities.

------------getting started------------------------------------------

To try this out, send the message: "get iceimt-papers title.index" to "iceimt@einet.net"

(The subject field doesn't matter.) You will receive, by email, a list of the available papers by their title and partial index name.

------------next level of detail-------------------------------------

The index name is partial because it will require an extension: either ".abstract" or ".ps". The former denotes a plain text abstract and the latter a PostScript file.

For example, the list of papers will include:

"prime. The Redux' Server"

If you send a message to "iceimt@einet.net" that says: "get iceimt-papers prime.abstract", you will receieve a plain text abstract of this paper in an email message.

If you send a message to "iceimt@einet.net" that says: "get iceimt-papers prime.ps", you will receieve a PostScript file of this paper in email messages.

------------et cet.---------------------------------------------------

POSTSCRIPT WARNINGS: 1) PostScript is not really standard yet - there is no guarantee that the postscript files you get will print on your printer. Mac PostScript and that of other systems are generally incompatible.

2) Most PostScript files are too long for a single email message: the listserver will mail them to you in parts - you must reassemble them.

3) PostScript files are not available for every title in the list - an abstract is.

If you want to see for which papers PostScript file are available, and how long they are, send the message: "index iceimt-papers"

The papers in this archive were more or less randomly chosen. Let me know if you want to add one. And you can "get" the "title.index" every so often to see if there's anything new.

If you want to join the regular mailing list, send a message such as: "subscribe all-iceimt Count Dracula", substituting an identity of your choosing (your real name is fine). Send it to "iceimt@einet.net". I cannot add you to this list.
