> (*Please pay particular attention to the three "notes" at the
> bottom of this announcement*)
>
> ROADMAP96 is a 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
>
> LISTSERV@LISTS.INTERNIC.NET
>
> 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.
>
> NOTES:
>
> 1) I am *still* working on a Web workshop (called "Atlas")
> that I hope to introduce this Fall. I just want y'all 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>.
