Listserv
Besides not having an “e" at
the end — yet another example
of computerese — this is n con
venient way to use your e-mail
program to get information on
issues that interest you.
When you subscribe to a list
serv, every time another sub
scriber sends a message to the
general e-motl address, you
receive it too. The same goes with
a message you send to the gener
al e-mail address You're sending
it to all the other subscribers also.
There are generally two e-mail
addresses for a listserv. one is the
general broadcast address where
everyone receives and sends mes
sages. and the other is a sub
scription address.
To subscribe, you first send an
e-mail message to the sub
scription address
Computers often monitor sub
scription requests so you need to
use words like "subs* ribe" and
then the name of the listserv fol
lowed last by your full name.
Here's an example
You want to find out more
nfiout brewing beer Direc t an o
mail to "homebrew-request#
pcnn.fc.hp.com" and in the Ixxiv
of the message write “subs* ribe
homebrew" and then your name
and send.
The problem with listsnrv ad
dresses is that they change quick
ly The only thing you can do is
hang in there and keep trying.
Gopher
Quit Pine and at the percent
sign, write "gopher". Besides
sounding cute, this is the next
easiest to understand service for
Internet users.
This is an academic server
maintained by nearly every uni
versity in the U S and many
major universities worldwide
You go from one gopher to the
mation. bv pressing the corre
sponding number (3) and then
the "enter’1 kev Then go to
"News and Events." "Calendar
of Events" and then "All Up
coming Events." Pick a day. and
read what’s available.
To back up once in n gopher
file, press "U” or quit to return
to the main menu.
To "burrow." simply choose
the "Other Gophers" at the main
menu and keep plugging away
until you find what you want.
If you know the address of the
gopher you want to access, you
can go directly there by writing
the address at the UONot. There
Other things worth noting are the wacky
names used by University officials for the
University gopher They all relate to our
lovable mascot, the Oregon Duck.
Darkwing Is from a kids’ cartoon show.
Duckhunt? Well, it has Uduck” in it. As for
“Duckscoop” — let your imagination go
wild.
other by "burrowing” at the
appropriate exit points and get
information by downloading it or
sending it to yourself as an e
tnail.
Be careful to write down your
path or else you'll end up at the
server in Tokyo University with
out a clue how you got there.
Now that you're in the Uni
versity's gopher, there’s quite a
menu of stuff you can look at.
You can get weather, the Uni
versity's latest news releases or
find out about the latest radiation
spill at the science building.
There's so much here, you real
ly want to orient yourself before
you do any real hunting.
Another note, especially about
the University's gopher: Almost
everything is old If a meeting
hnp|M>ned at the end of Septem
ber, you tan probably browse the
minutes while being wasted on
egg-nog (that is, if the minutes get
posted at all).

Darkwing is from a kids' cartoon
show. Duckhunt? Well, it has
"duck" in it As for "Dui kscoop”
— let vour imagination go wild.
One area that's always up to
date are the news releases which
include annouiu omonts on l hii
versity events So, for starters, try
planning your weekend.
Oni.il in gopher, go first to
"Due kscoop.” or campus infor
are other ways, hut, again, we're
thinking simple here.
Veronica
Another gopher service, Veron
ica gets you straight to a topic and
is very useful for finding research
information from home.
Sometimes you ran access tho
full text of your article or book,
sometimes just the citation which
you take to tho library's interli
brary loan office to request, but
either way. you can get exactly
what you want fast.
To use, start nt the main menu
on the University’s gopher and
enter "Other Gopher and Infor
mation Services," then "Search
Titles in Gopherspace using
Veronica" then "Veronica Serv
er at PSINet."
If that's busy, try another one
of the Veronica servers listed.
When it asks what you're look
ing for, write the subject down
and see what's available.
Telnet
This is a free way to directly
connect via long distance to an
other server
To find Telnet sites, look in the
Internet Yellow Pages for
addresses.
To Telnet, quit gopher and go
back to the percentage sign
prompt,
A fun address to log into is
Fedworld.gov There, you can get
all the latest bills, laws, copyright
