What other informational files are available?

One of the distinctive features of MathMagic is that the whole project is available to people who have only e-mail capabilities. Any of the files/directories accessed via ftp/gopher can also be found via e-mail.

To receive more information on MathMagic and the files available, send E-MAIL (no "Subject:" needed) to:

        mail-server@mathforum.org
        send index

Once the automated mailer responds, you can request any of the files by replacing the index of the command above with an exact filename from the list generated by INDEX (see below for a list of files that can be requested).

FTP: (File Transfer Protocol - ask your System Manager for specs)

Lynx or browser users: ftp://mathforum.org/mathmagic

All other users can also ftp the MathMagic information files using the ftp// format as the URL. GOPHER access is also available:(ask your system manager for your specs)

Some of the files that can be requested are:

  INDEX
  after-registration
  getting-information
  mathmagic-carriers
  mathmagic-faq (THIS FILE)
  network-providers
  problem-submissions
  registration-form
  sponsors-guide

Are previous posts/challenges available?

If you are interested in looking at some of the earlier postings, after gophering in as indicated above choose:

   2. Forum's Archive
        7. Monthly Digests
        (From here you can choose the /mm-list and /month):
         example: 22.mathmagic.7.9/archive.Jul.94

The e-mail equivalent to procure previous posts is to send e-mail (without subject) to:

        mail-server@mathforum.org

with the command:

send monthly.digests/mathmagic.k-3/archive.January.94
                     ----(1)----           ----(2)--

You can replace -(1)- with any of the other lists (mathmagic.4-6; mathmagic.7-9; mathmagic.10-12 or mathmagic-general) and/or replace -(2)- with any other month February.94; March.94, etc. PLEASE notice the dots between the words.
