Here is some more info on Roadmap96.  The list is running at
LISTS.INTERNIC.NET, and new workshops start every two weeks.  (*Please pay
particular attention to the three "notes" at the bottom of this letter*)
 
ROADMAP96 is a FREE, 27-lesson, Internet training workshop designed to
teach new "Net travelers" how to travel around the rapidly expanding (and
often-times confusing) "Information Superhighway" without getting lost.
The original Roadmap workshop, which debuted in the Fall of 1994, rapidly
became the most popular on-line Internet training workshop in history.
ROADMAP96 is a completely revised and updated version of the original
Roadmap workshop.  ROADMAP96's lessons are primarily written for people
with accounts on command-line systems (like UNIX, VAX, and VM), but
EVERYONE is welcome to participate in the workshop!
 
The entire ROADMAP96 workshop will take place on the ROADMAP96 list
(ROADMAP96 is a distribution list, not a discussion list).  ROADMAP96
covers: E-mail; LISTSERVs, Majordomo, Listproc, and other e-mail
distribution systems; Usenet; FTP; Archie; Gopher; Veronica; Address
Searches; the Web; and many other topics.  Since a number of ROADMAP96's
participants only have e-mail access to the Internet, the ROADMAP96
workshop lessons will also teach you how to access many of the Internet's
tools (FTP, Archie, Gopher, etc.) through e-mail!
 
Thanks to the kind folks at the Internet Network Information Center (the
InterNIC), ROADMAP96 now has a permanent home ... and new ROADMAP96
workshop start every two weeks!  All you have to do to participate in one
of the free Roadmap96 workshop sessions is subscribe to the ROADMAP96
e-mail distribution list!
 
To be a part of the next ROADMAP96 workshop session -- new sessions start
every two weeks -- just send an e-mail letter to
 
     [log in to unmask]
 
with the command
 
     SUBSCRIBE ROADMAP96 YOURFIRSTNAME YOURLASTNAME
 
in the body of your e-mail letter, replacing YOURFIRSTNAME and YOURLASTNAME
with your first and last names.
 
Thank you again for your interest in Roadmap96, and I hope that you will
enjoy the workshop!
 
 
   NOTES:
 
        1) I am *still* working on a Web workshop (called "Atlas")
           that I hope to introduce this Fall.  I just want you to
           be aware that Roadmap96 is not "Atlas."
 
        2) You *must* use the command
 
                SUBSCRIBE ROADMAP96 YOURFIRSTNAME YOURLASTNAME
 
           to be able to subscribe to ROADMAP96.  If you leave the
           "96" off of "ROADMAP96" you will receive a letter from the
           LISTSERV telling you that "you are not allowed to
           subscribe."  REMEMBER: SUBSCRIBE TO "ROADMAP96" *NOT* TO
           "ROADMAP!"
 
        3) HTML, ZIP, and SEA versions of all of the Roadmap96 lessons
           will *eventually* be available on the Roadmap homepage at
           <http://www.ua.edu/~crispen/roadmap.html>.
