Undigestifiers are available throughout the Internet, but not from RISKS.
SUBSCRIPTIONS: PLEASE read RISKS as a newsgroup on your system, if possible
and convenient for you. BITNET folks may use a LISTSERV (e.g., LISTSERV@UGA)
with SUBSCRIBE RISKS or UNSUBSCRIBE RISKS as needed. Users on US Military
and Government machines should contact <risks-request@pica.army.mil> (Dennis
Rears). UK subscribers please contact <Lindsay.Marshall@newcastle.ac.uk>.
Local redistribution services are provided at many other sites as well.
Check FIRST with your local system or netnews wizards. If that does not
work, send requests to <risks-request@csl.sri.com> (not automated).
