- This is the 7th mailing of the AmigaUsers Compendium List.
-
- The idea of this list is to provide a database of users with a common
- background of the Amiga. Having your name on the list shows others your
- interests on the Amiga and the possibility of being able to help others
- out.
- The current list now has 128 names.
-
- Each entry in the list has the following format.
-
- Last Name, Given Name Occupation, Company/Educat. Inst. City,Prov/State
- Email Address
- System Configuration (ie Major Hardware/Rom version/Hard drive etc)
- Key-Numbers (more information about this below)
- Comment Line (ONE line only)
-
- Key Numbers are numbers which will serve as an index into a list of
- 'interest' groups. These groups are ones that you might be able to answer
- questions in, or just areas that you are interested in. The numbers
- should be seperated by a SINGLE space and not a comma.
-
- Each entry is limited to FIVE (5, cinq, V) lines.
-
- An example entry in the proper format would be the following:
-
- Kilroy, Joe Grad Student, University of HardKnocks Erehwon, Prost
- uunet!{site1, site2}!jackson!hell!kilroy
- 2000, 1.3, 1 MB, 1080, HardFrame, Conner CP3100, Yamaha D-7, SuperMidi
- 1.1 5.2 3.1 1.3 1.2
- Solid knowledge of graphics, and avid game player, and midi expert
-
- Also provided with the Compendium is a program that will read
- in the list and will allow you to pull names based on the key numbers.
- I have broken down interest groups into main groups and then into
- sub-groups. So key number 6.2 would be Group 6 (Graphics) and
- sub-group 2 (Art). Marking group 6.0 (ie the Group title) means you
- are interested in all areas of Amiga Graphics and/or are willing to
- answers questions on them. The Interest groups are listed below.
- Lets make this work everyone. This is your chance to help others and
- get help from others. You will also be able to find out more about
- those 'others' on the net.
-
- Send your entry to the list to one of the following email adresses:
- uunet!{ubc-cs,utai,alberta}!calgary!paquette
- calgary!paquette@cs.ubc.ca
- paquette@cpsc.ucalgary.ca
