The Listserve:

I have created a listserve called dstruct for use by my Data Structures classes. You are all strongly encouraged to subscribe.

A listserve is a mailing list that uses specialized software. Members "join" or subscribe to the list (think about subscribing to a magazine). When a message is mailed to the list, each member of the list receives a copy of the message. (this is compared to a magazine being printed and each subscriber receiving a copy of the magazine.) Questions or comments of general interest to the class should be sent to the listserve. Personal questions (for example, questions about your grades) should be sent directly to the instructor.

Subscribing to the Listserve:

To subscribe to the listserve you send an email message to the listserve manager:

Send the mail to listserv@austincc.edu
Be sure you turn your signature off (if you have one)
Be sure the message field of your email reads exactly like the following with your name inserted. You must list a first and a last name.

subscribe dstruct your-first-name your-last-name

EXAMPLE - (use your name instead of Rob Wheeler)

***********************************************************************

TO: listserv@austincc.edu
CC: comer@austincc.edu
SUBJECT: subscribe

subscribe dstruct Rob Wheeler

***********************************************************************

After you send this message, I will add you to the listserve. You will get a confirmation email when the process is completed. If you do not get a confirmation email within about 24 hours, please email me. If you have trouble subscribing, I will subscribe for you, but I want you to try first.

Using the Listserve:

After subscribing to the listserve, you can post mail to the listserve using this address: dstruct@austincc.edu

EXAMPLE

I don't understand how to calculate the girth in programming assignment 4. I did not understand the formula. Can anybody help?
