   The on-line documentation will be maintained as (userguides.
   journal-netsub,).  Hard copies are available from Marcia Keeney.

   The first implementation of a Network Journal Submission and Delivery
   system is now experimentally up.  This system allows use of the NIC's
   NLS Journal System without entering NLS.  Network users may submit
   text files written on their host systems using their mail subsystems
   (e.g. SNDMSG, FTP, TELNET).  The mail will then be converted at SRI-
   ARC into NLS files, journalized, and sent to the specified recipients
   according to their preset Journal delivery options.  A newly added
   option permits the user to receive automatic Journal delivery (of
   citations to journalized documents) at his host via the Network mail
   protocol.

Overview

   Network mail sent to SRI-ARC (NIC) will be entered into the NIC
   Journal system if a slash appears in the user-name.  To get the mail
   to the NIC, you may use either the FTP, TELNET, or mail subsystem
   provided by your local system.

   The author's NIC Ident(s) are assumed to appear before the slash; the
   recipients' NIC Ident(s) after it.  Idents should be separated by
   spaces.  (See scenarios in branch 3)
   (e.g. jew / mdk dhc)
