[HECnet] HECnet .HLP library for OpenVMS

[Sampsa Laine]

Since I have some spare time on my hands, I've decided to create a .HLP file that describes service / nodes on HECnet.

If you want an entry, basically just email me some text to sampsa at mac.com and I'll compile a HECNET help library out of the entries.

So if you're offering some cool service, guest accounts, allow registration of user accounts, are running on unusual hardware (I know there's a couple of TOPS-20 systems out there, I really want to learn that OS) then let me know.

I'll release a new .HLP file (over both FAL and HTTP) along with instructions on how to import it into your system's HELP library whenever there's new material or material is changed / removed..

See the text below for an example, but please start your numbering at heading level 2:

2 Mail

Mail can be sent to HECnet users directly using the <NODE>::<USER>
syntax I'm sure you are all familiar with.

To send mail to the internet, route it via the CHIMPYMAIL gateway,
using this syntax:

	CHIMPY::smtp%"joe.user at example.com"

Please note that some providers (notably Apple and Hotmail/Windows Live)
do not accept this as a valid address. Gmail does however.

Your inbound address is:

	KUHAVX::<username>@chimpymail.com

For information on how to forward your mail, see the Forwarding
subsection.

See KAHUNA$:[INFO]ACCOUNTS.TXT for the most active accounts, usually
admins who can help you.
