EASUG How-tos (11/25/93)

EASUG (=East Asian Software Users' Group) is an electronic list
created to provide a forum for scholarly discussion, mentoring
support, announcements and planning for events of interest to the
subscribers.

The idea for EASUG came out of the 1993 East Asian Software
Symposium, pre-session to the Georgetown University Round Table on
Language and Linguistics, where it was suggested that a discussion
list be created for the purposes of bringing together researchers
interested in software which implements any language of Northeast
or Southeast Asia, i.e. programs for machine translation,
computer-assisted language learning, natural language processing,
and word processing.

EASUG is similar to other electronic discussion groups that you may
already be familar with. Our list of subscribers is automatically
maintained by MAILSERV software on the Georgetown VAX, and all
administrative requests (such as subscriptions; see below) must be
sent to the MAILSERV address. Messages sent to EASUG itself are
automatically distributed to all subscribers.

If you have any questions or problems, send mail to Patricia
O'Neill-Brown at:
 oneillpguvax.georgetown.edu (Internet)
 oneillpguvax.bitnet (Bitnet)
