There is no danger, however some people may undergo slight disorientation. Some people may apparently find themselves in multiple locations at one time. We assure customers that this is not dangerous, and all time lines are in fact continuous, and will straighten themselves out in time. We recommend leaving early for any important appointments. Normal service will be restored tomorrow, yesterday, in three weeks' time, and in three hundred and thirty years. All complaints should be forwarded to: Imports, Exports, and Arms. We thank you for your consideration. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted by: Moriarty (Aaron Humphrey, aaron@space.ualberta.ca) Content: |-------------------------------| | Moriarty Investigations, Inc. | | | | Magic and muscle at your | | service!

I estimate that my archives are missing less than 1 in 100. The archives contain over 4600 chapters (articles) in 20 huge volumes (MB). Currently the archives are only indexed by Subject (Subject line), but my trusty scribes are hard at work attempting to compile a keyword-index by name, place, and "thread". Alas, this task may take a while. There are two methods by which you, the citizens of Generica, can access the archives (and their indexes). Via the Post-Office or by Magic. Via Mail: Send mail to the address below, with your request in the body of the message. I will then search the index(es) for you, and either mail you the matching "chapters" or a list of matches (if there are too many "hits"). Until the keyword index is compiled, I will be very reluctant to search the actual archives for your requests. TO: mrhyde@netcom.com. EXAMPLE: Dear Zenith, Please search your archives for all occurance of "Lancos" or "Zebron". Thanks. Via Magic: I have set aside a portion of my personal library for the Indexes and other materials of interest. If you know the powerful "FTP" spell, you can access the indexes directly. The arcane formula is listed below. This archive is "read-only", you may retrieve anything you like from it, but you can't place anything there. If there is something you'd like placed there for the benefit of all Generican citizens, let me know via mail. Do not forget to use "binary mode" for all not in ".txt" format. The FTP library currently contains: Subject indexes (no.1-no.3999) The Directory of Generica (latest edition) JourneyGarb flyer/catalog APDI FAQs (full and mini) And coming soon: The DragonQuest Saga *note* All ".zip" files are compressed using the latest state-of-the-art compression magic. Older uncompression magic may not work (use "zip19" or "pkzip2.04"). If you have any difficulty with either the transfer of files or decompression, please let me know. ftp netcom.com(192.100.81.100) login: anonymous password: (your e-mail address) cd /pub/mrhyde/APDI Cheers and happy reading ____ / __ __ o _|_ | / |__| | | | | |__ /___ |__ | | | |_/ | | Head Librarian of the Great Library of Generica -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- REMOVED THIS WEEK : none _________________________________________________________________________ ...sage -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Pete Calvert : Department of Commerce: Adelaide University, S.Aust. email : pcalvert@economics.adelaide.edu.au -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- another page from ...sage -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
