User's Guide for the SSC ADDRESSES Database System: Version 1.0.

摘要

The SSC ADDRESSES database was implemented at the request of the Superconducting Super Collider Design Group for management of mailing lists. However, it is a generalized system that can serve for administration of other mailing lists as well. It allows for domestic and foreign address elements, and electronic mail addresses which could be used by a SPIRES protocol to send CMS mail or files automatically. It has a format to produce adhesive mailing labels, and employs phantom structures in the LISTS subfile to give an immmediate list of addressees on a particular mailing list. There is no practical limit to the number of mailing lists specifiable, nor to the length of the name of a list. The Stanford Public Information Retrieval System (SPIRES) is a product of Leland Stanford Junior University in Palo Alto, CA. The SPIRES database management system at LBL runs on the UC Berkeley Campus IBM 3081-D32 under the VM/CMS operating system. VM SPIRES consists of three components: SPIRES itself (database management system); CMS (the operating system that manages the computer); and SPIRES/CMS interface (maps SPIRES activity onto the CMS environment). Normally, SPRIES users are not and need not be concerned with the subsystems between themselves and SPRIES. The diagram is provided only to demonstrate context. Most of the icons are self-explantory. The purpose of the SERIES/1 is to make the user's ASCII terminal appear as an IBM 3270 terminal to the IBM 3081, and to make the IBM 3081 appear to communicate in ASCII to the user. Section II describes the commands to move along the path from terminal through the gateways into SPIRES. This generally requires less than 10 seconds and becomes routine. (ERA citation 13:052920)
