Instead of sending individual responses to all of those who asked we decided to post the relevent information on CCL, and We'll try to subscribe all those who desired to subscribe. However, we will consider information requests or empty messages as 'answered' with this posting; please find relevant information on the list below. Please notice that the archives to DIBUG are online and can be queried with the usual tools. Thanks Regards DIBUG LIST ADMINISTRATOR [the information below is taken from the 'welcome' sheet for new subscribers.] ============================================================================== Welcome to DIBUG ("Discover, Insight, Biosym Users' Group"), an unmoderated mailing list for discussion of Biosym products. Expected topics of discussion include, but are not limited to, queries about how to use features of the software, and how to solve scientific problems using the software. Although this list is administered by and for Biosym users, we expect Biosym Technolo- gies, Inc. to monitor the list, and perhaps to respond to issues that may arise. [...] To request to be added or deleted from the subscriber list, send electronic mail to: dibug-request "-at-" comp.bioz.unibas.ch The return path will usually be taken from the From: line of your electronic mail, unless you specify an alternative path. Presently, the list maintenance is being done manually, so there is no set format for specifying things; just use English. [...] If you wish to unsubscribe, or change your email address, please make sure that you mention what your previous address was to facilitate list manipula- tions. [...] All mail sent to DIBUG will be archived at and is accessible via Internet (see below).
