SUPPORT INFORMATION

CLIPS executables, documentation, and source code are available for download from http://www.ghg.net/clips/download/.

Questions regarding CLIPS can be sent via electronic mail to clips@ghg.net.

An electronic conferencing facility, sponsored by Distributed Computing Systems (http://www.discomsys.com), is also available to CLIPS users. Subscribers to this facility may send questions, observations, answers, editorials, etc., in the form of electronic mail to the conference. All subscribers will have a copy of these messages reflected back to them at their respective electronic mail addresses. To subscribe, send a single line message to clips-request@discomsys.com containing the word "subscribe". The subject field is ignored but the address found in the ‘Reply:‚, ‘Reply to:‚, or ‘From:‚ field will be entered in the distribution list. Upon subscription you will receive a mail message instructing you how to participate in the conference from that point forward. Save this mail message. You may need the instructions later if you wish to unsubscribe from the list server.

To send your own messages to members of the conference you need simply address your mail to clips@discomsys.com. Your message will be reflected to all other members of the conference.

If you wish to remove yourself from the conference and discontinue receiving mail simply send a message to clips-request@discomsys.com with "unsubscribe" as the message text. If you want to unsubscribe using another email account than the one you subscribed with, then append the original subscribing email account to the text of the message. For example: "unsubscribe john.doe@account.net". Do not send unsubscribe messages to clips@discomsys.com! This sends a mail message to every member of the list. If you need to get in contact with the list administrator (for trouble unsubscribing or other questions about the list), send email to clips-owner @discomsys.com.
