Additions and Corrections

We are trying out an enhancement which should simplify email submission of addresses and corrections to the list maintainers. If you don't receive email confirmation from one of us, please resend your message to one of the list maintainers in the usual way. You must have a Web browser that supports HTML forms in order to use the next item. If you do not see text editing areas below then your browser does not support forms.

Enter your message in the areas provided below. Be sure to fill out all of the fields and please, please specify your preferred versions of your name and email address in the message body since return addresses can be hard to decipher.

Search the address book

This menu offers searchable Web and WAIS access to the list of email addresses in geometry and topology maintained by Andrew Nicas and others. Other methods of obtaining the address book and a list of maintainers appear below.

WAIS remarks

Your WWW client program (lynx, mosaic, etc.) must understand WAIS (Wide Area Information Servers) protocols to use the WAIS search mechanism in the menu above. If you are having trouble with this feature then you might need a software upgrade or recompilation. (Many of these clients, such as lynx and mosaic, need to have an option for WAIS searches set at compile time.) Try the ``simple search,'' which is based on the Unix grep utility, if you can't get the WAIS search to work.

The WAIS server in the menu above is capable of crude Boolean searches and has some other features. For more information, see the menu item below.

Enhanced searches

FTP and mail service

The address book and a number of other files are available for anonymous ftp at
ftp.math.ufl.edu
and a mail server for the address book is at
majordomo@math.ufl.edu.

(To obtain the current version of the address book by electronic mail, send email to majordomo@math.ufl.edu with this text in the body of the message:

get geotop abook
The subject line of the message may be left blank.)

Mass mailings

The list maintainers are sometimes asked for advice about mass mailings to the people listed in the address book. We don't run a mail reflector for these addresses ourselves, but it is not hard to strip the addresses out of the file and set up a mass mailing, at least with Unix-style text tools. We can offer a file of basic advice on this mailing chore (you can also find it through the mail server or FTP server listed above).
