7. Communications
Since the last issue of MTO was published (0.7)
a discussion about the possibility of making
MTO a multi-media journal, combining text, graphics,
and sound, and making it available through the
so-called World-Wide Web (WWW) took place on the SMT
Email Conference. One smt-list subscriber experimented
with the possibility by announcing a WWW multi-media
document and inviting smt-list subscribers to access it
and report their experiences. A brief exchange of
messages regarding the experiment ensued (a few reports
of difficulties in accessing and viewing/hearing the
file). Additionally, a questionnaire was distributed
to MTO subscribers in order to determine how many use
WWW and, if they do, the extent to which they use it.
To date, ca. 30 questionnaires out of ca. 500 have
been returned (6%), and the responses are split
(roughly 50/50) between those who have and use WWW on
the one hand and, on the other, those who don't have it
or have it and currently don't use it. Further, most
expressed disinterest in, or at least uneasiness about,
learning HTML (Hypertext Mark-Up Language), which
is used to create WWW-suitable, multi-media documents.
These current obstacles--no WWW access, infrequent use
of it, HTML shyness--will no doubt change over time.
MTO and its staff should be ready for WWW technology
when the technology is ready for us. Besides wider
access and use, there remain some snags to be worked
out. Further, since graphics and sound files tend to
be quite large, remote storage sites must be secured.
Additional editorial and management staff will be
required. Convenient HTML authoring tools will be
necessary to ease the way into creating WWW documents.
These technological and administrative concerns will
likely diminish over the next year, during which the MTO
co-editorial staff will consider how best to move the
journal into the WWW, multi-media arena. When WWW
versions of MTO do become a reality, a non-WWW version
will continue to be available for those lacking the
access or inclination to use WWW.
As mentioned above, only about 6% of MTO subscribers
returned the questionnaire. I am including a copy
below for those who have not yet sent one in. If
you have already submitted one, please do *not*
send in another one.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation!

Below is the announced survey regarding MTO subscribers'
use of the World-Wide Web (WWW). Your responses are
important for planning the development of MTO. Before
proceeding with short and long-range plans to create a
multi-media version of the journal, integrating text,
graphics, and sound, it will be useful to compile some
statistics on how widespread the use of WWW is among MTO
subscribers. Please fill in the following questionnaire
and email it to me personally at one of the given
addresses (do not use a 'reply' command to respond!).
Please fill in the "Subject:" line with "MTO Survey."

Overview:
1. Retrieving MTO Items (with mto-serv and FTP)
2. Subscribing to MTO
3. Retrieving MTO Documentation
4. Queries and Communications
1. RETRIEVING MTO ITEMS
Items are retrieved by sending an email message to the MTO FileServer,
mto-serv, or through anonymous FTP (see below). To use the FileServer,
send a message to one of the following two addresses:
mto-serv@husc.harvard.edu (Internet)
mto-serv@husc.bitnet (Bitnet)
Leave the "Subject:" line blank and as the body of the message include
the following lines (no personal letterheads or signatures!):
path YourEmailAddress (Bitnet addresses *must* include .BITNET)
send Item (specify item, as listed below)
send Item (additional "send" lines, if desired)
After the word "path," enter your full email address (Bitnet users
must include .BITNET). Be *sure* to include the word "path"
followed by a valid email address. Without the "path" line, mto-serv
will not know where to deliver requested items. To retrieve items
from the *current* issue of MTO, after the word "send," replace "Item"
with the one of the following options:
articles (= main article[s])
gifs (= musical examples)
reviews (= review[s])
commentaries (= commentaries on past MTO articles)
dissertations (= dissertation listings)
announcements (= announcements)
jobs (= job listings)
package (= all the above items, in a single package)
toc (= current table of contents)
Example:
path john_doe@husc.harvard.edu
send package
**********************************************************************
CAUTIONARY NOTE:
Subscribers with restricted emailbox space should be careful when
using the "package" option. A full issue of MTO, text and musical
examples, can be quite large and may "crash" an emailbox of limited
size. It may be safer to request a few files at a time, and to remove
them from the emailbox before requesting more files.
**********************************************************************
For instructions on retrieving items from back issues, or complete
back issues of MTO, consult the document "mto-guide.txt" (see below,
on retrieving MTO documentation).
MTO items may also be retrieved through anonymous FTP. The site is:
husc4.harvard.edu (NB "husc4," not just "husc"). Use "anonymous" as
loginID and your email address as password. Change to the directory
pub/smt/mto (with the command: cd pub/smt/mto). The file mto.current
contains all items constituting the current issue; toc.current is the
most recent table of contents. The individual items of the current
issue have filenames that begin as follows: mto.yy.v.i, where "yy" is
the last two digits of the current year; "v" is the current volume
number; and "i" is the current issue number (example: mto.94.0.6).
Refer to the MTO Guide for further information.
2. SUBSCRIBING TO MTO
To subscribe to MTO, send an email message to one of the following
"listserver" addresses:
listserver@husc.harvard.edu (Internet)
listserver@husc.bitnet (Bitnet)
Leave the "Subject:" line blank and as the text of the message include
the following single line (no personal letterheads or signatures!):
subscribe mto-list YourFirstName YourLastName
You will receive a message confirming your subscription. Once the
subscription is confirmed, to receive the MTO Guide send a message to
one of the "listserver" addresses shown above, and as the body of the
message include the single line: information mto-list
To cancel a subscription, send the following single line to one of the
"listserver" addresses (not to mto-serv!): unsubscribe mto-list
[NOTE: Do not send email to the "listserver" addresses for anything
other than initiating and terminating subscriptions to MTO. Further,
do not send email to mto-list@husc. mto-list is solely for broadcasting
MTO to its subscribers, *not* for communication among subscribers, nor
for retrieving MTO items (done with mto-serv), nor for communication
with the Editor (address above). Please do not send mail to
mto-list@husc, *nor* use a "reply" command on email distributed through
mto-list.]
3. RETRIEVING MTO DOCUMENTATION
Several MTO explanatory documents are available through mto-serv:
mto-guide.txt (the MTO Guide, also retrievable from "listserver")
Instructions for
a. subscribing to MTO
b. retrieving MTO items (articles, reviews,
commentaries, musical examples, and figures)
c. posting items in MTO (announcements, jobs, dissertations)
d. searching the MTO database
authors.txt
Guidelines for authors
policy.txt
MTO editorial policy
software.txt
List of available software (IBM and Mac) for MTO
subscribers, and instructions for retrieving the
software
mto.index
List of all files in the MTO archive (updated regularly)
To retrieve any of these documents, send an email message to one of
the "mto-serv" addresses (not to the "listserver" addresses!), and use
the format shown above ("path" line with full email address, and one
or more "send" lines specifying the desired document[s]). For example,
to retrieve the document called "software.txt," address a message to
mto-serv and as the body of the message include only the following two
lines (no personal letterheads or signatures!):
path john_doe@husc.harvard.edu (Bitnet addresses must include .BITNET)
send software.txt
send authors.txt (additional "send" lines for more items)
The words "path" (followed by an email address) and "send" (followed
by the desired item) *must* appear.
4. QUERIES AND COMMUNICATIONS

the Editor, etc.) to one of the following addresses:
