While we try hard to keep useful information on this site, no one site can do it all. You may find the following sites and sources of information very helpful as well. We are proud to be part of the Authorware Web Ring! Thanks to Ix Multimedia Software of the Netherlands for making this possible.



Subscribing to the Authorware List

The Authorware list is an automated e-mail service.  You can post questions about Authorware to the list and every other member of the list will receive the message and may choose to respond to it.  In turn, you can view and respond to messages posted by others. There are currently several hundred active members on the list. 

You can expect from 50 - 100 messages a day in your e-mail box from the list every weekday and a couple of dozen on the weekend. 

To subscribe to the list, send the following message 

   SUBSCRIBE AWARE YourFirstName YourLastName

to the following e-mail address (which you can click now): LISTSERV@CC1.KULEUVEN.AC.BE 

For instance, when I subscribed to the list, I sent the message 

   SUBSCRIBE AWARE Joseph Ganci

The owners of the list, Danny Engelman and Peter Arien, also provide several features through the list, including the ability to receive all messages in digest form, get a list of other members of the list, and receive copies of list archives. 

One of the most useful features provided is the ability to query the list databases for information contained in previous posts.  To do this, send the following lines: 

   // JOB ECHO=NO 
   DATABASE SEARCH DD=RULES 
   //RULES DD * 
   SEARCH Target1 OR Target2 IN AWARE SINCE 01-JAN-94 
   INDEX 
   PRINT 

to the same e-mail address: LISTSERV@CC1.KULEUVEN.AC.BE 

To ask for copies of messages that contain the targets "AVI" or "Quicktime" that were posted after July 1, 1998, you can set line 4 above to the following: 

   SEARCH AVI OR Quicktime IN AWARE SINCE 01-JUL-98 
  
The results will be sent back to you as an e-mail message.
