Paleo. E-mail List

Rex Doescher writes that he's swamped with requests for his e-mail list and
asks me to remind all of you that his list is available in the PaleoNet
anonymous ftp site.  Moreover, Rex's list is a bit large and sending it to
you via e-mail might cause problems with e-mail programs that impose a
limit on the size of e-mail messages (that is to say the vast majority of
extant e-mail software).  So, to save Rex the trouble of responding to each
of your requests individually (and allow him the time he needs to update
his list and do his "other job" at the Smithsonian) both he and I encourage
you to use the publically available copy in the PaleoNet ftp site.  That's
what it's there for.

The best way to download the list is via the NCSA program Telnet (available
for both Mac & DOS platforms) or with a dedicated ftp program like Fetch or
Xferit (both Mac).  Consult your local network administrator for use of
these programs or, if you're having problems, post them to PaleoNet.  There
are lots of people out there who can help you out online.
