- ENGLISH NOTES continued:
-
- Gaelic-l is a listserver list, all mail goes to all subscribers and it is
- set up so that replies are broadcast too. There are a lot of learners on
- the list, so people who post in Gaelic often provide a translation or
- vocabulary; also, some items are posted specifically to provide reading
- material for learners.
-
- There's over 250 people on the list at the moment all over the world.
- The Gaelic college on Skye, Sabhal Mo/r Ostaig recently joined the list.
-
- Because many machines cannot handle 8-bit ASCII, in order to represent
- the accented vowels in Gaelic, the convention adopted on Gaelic-l is:
-
- a\ = a with a grave accent
- a/ = a with an acute accent (fada)
- etc
-
- eg. Am Ma\irt would be the Gaelic-l representation for March (Scots Gaelic)
-
- To subscribe to the list, send a mail message to listserv@irlearn.ucd.ie
- containing the single line
-
- SUB GAELIC-L <your name>
-
- eg SUB GAELIC-L Craig Cockburn
-
- To send a message to everyone on the list, send it to gaelic-l@irlearn.ucd.ie
-
- To reply to a message on the list, broadcasting to everyone, use the normal
- reply facility of your mailer; to reply to sender only, use the restricted
- reply facility of your mailer (not all mailers have the restricted reply
- facility)
-
- To quit the list,
-
- send a one-line message to listserv@irlearn.ucd.ie
-
- SIGNOFF GAELIC-L
-
- A log is maintained of all messages that have been sent to the list, one
- log file for each calendar month. GAELIC-L also offers an online library
- service, containing useful programs and data files, such as a help sheet
- for beginners, a London Scots Gaelic information sheet, Gaelic programs and
- so on. There are listserv commands (sent as mail messages) to get a list of
- the files available, and to get individual files (these are also sent back
- to you as mail messages) so you can get hold of all the logfiles going back
- to when the list started in May 89 if you so wish.
-
- Send a one line message HELP to listserv@irlearn.ucd.ie if you want to find
- out about these facilities.
