Monthly posting of the guidelines for participation in the
LINUX5250
Mailing List.
Answers to common questions, including installation issues
for FreeBSD,
Linux and Windows are included in the documentation in the
README file
in the source tarball, the manual included with the Windows
installer,
and the other documentation found on our web site at
http://tn5250.sourcefor
ge.net
Answers to other questions which may have already been asked
are available in
the linux5250 email list archive, which is available at
http://archive
.midrange.com/linux5250/
Keep to the subject. The topic of the list is the Linux
Tn5250
Emulation project. (Though, the name "Linux"
is a misnomer, since
the software will work in Microsoft Windows and any modern
Unix or
Unix-like operating system)
When quoting messages, do not quote the entire message.
Just quote the
parts that are needed to make the appropriate references.
Flames are absolutely prohibited. If you disagree with
someone, feel
free to argue the facts, but no personal attacks will be
tolerated.
The official language of the LINUX5250 Mailing List is
English.
Do not post personal messages. Please use direct E-Mail.
This list is
international in scope and personal messages just end up
costing money.
Please do not use HTML to format messages ... not everyone
has a HTML
enabled message reader and the extra text can (and does)
cause some
mail readers to truncate messages.
While the participants of this list are happy to answer
questions and
help solve problems, it is greatly appreciated if you do
some of your
own research beforehand. Before posting a question for the
first time,
please take a moment to review Eric Raymonds excellent FAQ
"How to Ask
Questions the Smart Way" (ht
tp://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html).
Advertising products, repeated postings, etc, are strictly
prohibited.
Also, if you have a solution that will specificly help
another
participant, feel free to tell that person. And finally, if
you are a
vendor, please identify yourself as such... do not try to
pass yourself
off as a user of your own products (even if you are).
