ANNOUNCING A NEW WAY TO FIND OUT WHAT'S NEW FOR OS/2:

I've created a new mailing list service that delivers a list of all the
new OS/2 files to your email box every day or once a week.

There are two different forms of the email messages and two different
time periods for updates.  I'm offering the email messages in both text
and HTML formats.  If you're using an email program that can display
HTML such as Netscape Navigator, the HTML format is both more visually
appealing and more convenient then the ascii text counterpart.

Both types of mailings include the list of all the new files posted here
plus the full URLs of the files, file size, and complete file
description.  With Netscape, subscribers simply click on the URL in your
mailer and the file is sent to you.  With other mailers that have URL
support you can similarly download the file almost immediately.  With
MR/2 ICE for instance, you click the URL then right-click and select
"web browser".

I'm offering the file lists I generate here daily including the daily
update and the new files posted over the last week.  Weekly updates will
be mailed every Saturday.  Daily updates are mailed usually between
10:00 AM and 12:00 noon.

To subscribe to any of the lists, send an email message to:

   lyris@bbs.os2bbs.com

The message subject will be ignored and can simply be left blank.

In the MESSAGE BODY, place the command:

   subscribe "list-name"

where "list-name" is one of the following:

   os2new-1day-html
   os2new-1day-text
   os2new-1week-html
   os2new-1week-text

Unsubscribing works exactly the same way but you say "unsubscribe" in
place of "subscribe"

The service obviously has the greatest utility for BBS subscribers but
it is valuable just the same to everyone.  Please feel free to use the
email announcements to help you choose whether you want to call the BBS
that day via telnet or via the dialup network.  All the files on the BBS
are available to anyone.  There is no subscription requirement, and no
upload/download ratios.

Feedback on the new service is welcome.  Please send email to
pnorloff@os2bbs.com or leave a message on the BBS.

Thanks very much.
