1. Address Changes Around the Corner...
As MTO heads toward the end of its third year, some slight
changes in our addresses are about to take effect.
Tom Heft, Unix System Programmer at Harvard, whose technical
expertise brought SMT Networking on-line, will move to
Brown University on August 1st. He has been working with me
to prepare for the transfer to boethius of all software and
datafiles now on the HUSC and FAS machines at Harvard. The
bulk of the transfer will take place over the next few weeks.
MTO subscribers will receive a notice about address changes.
In brief, the changes are as follows:
a. New listproc address: listproc@smt.ucsb.edu
for subscribing to MTO and mto-talk, for changing addresses,
passwords, postponing mail, etc.
b. New mto-serv address: mto-serv@smt.ucsb.edu
for retrieving MTO items and searching the MTO database
with our FileServer
c. New anonymous FTP address: smt.ucsb.edu
for retrieving MTO items through anonymous FTP. The
directory structure, as outlined in the current (though
soon outdated) MTO Guide will remain nearly the same:
pub/mto/docs (documentation and information files)
pub/mto/issues (containing subdirectories for all back issues of MTO)
pub/mto/software (MTO software)
[NOTE: the old directory paths included 'smt' after 'pub'. The
new directory paths omit 'smt'.]
d. WWW addresses
The URLs for MTO remain the same since our WWW server has always
been on boethius:
MTO page: http://smt.ucsb.edu/mto/index.html
Boethius page: http://smt.ucsb.edu/boethius.html
SMT Help Desk: http://smt.ucsb.edu/help/smt-help.html
(see below regarding the new WWW edition of SMT Help Desk)
A revised edition of the MTO Guide will be announced once the
transfer is complete and all administrative software has been
tested. Please bear with us if some glitches remain after testing.
Do not begin to use the new addresses yet. A notice will be
broadcast once they take effect. In case of problems,
please contact me or the MTO Manager, Robert Judd:
MTO General Editor: mto-editor@smt.ucsb.edu
MTO Manager: mto-manager@smt.ucsb.edu
2. WWW Edition of the SMT Help Desk
Recently, Patrick Shove, the SMT Help Desk Manager, prepared a Web
page with links to short documents on various procedures that are
important for MTO subscribers, e.g. how to change an address,
change a password, postpone and restart MTO mail delivery, etc.
The page also has a link for sending email to Shove in case of
problems. Take a look at the new Help Desk page at the URL
http://smt.ucsb.edu/help/smt-help.html. Send queries
and suggestions to Shove at: smt-help@smt.ucsb.edu.
3. WWW Essay in MTO 1.4
MTO 1.3 contained a commentary, by William Rothstein, formatted
with HTML. Rothstein provided ASCII text and I added some
basic HTML tags as a way of showing how an MTO essay might
look if formatted with HTML and viewed in a Web browser. MTO 1.4
includes an essay formatted with HTML by the author, David Loberg
Code ("Listening for Schubert's 'Doppelgaengers'"). Those who
have not yet tried out the Web should take this opportunity to
do so. Robert Judd prepared a guide to WWW tools and to the
necessary steps for gaining access to the Web. The document is
named www-tools.txt and is available in the MTO archive, in the
docs subdirectory. (An HTML version is also available, at
http://smt.ucsb.edu/mto/docs/www-tools.html.) At the fall
meeting of SMT in New York, MTO Co-editor, Ann McNamee, and mto-talk
Manager, Claire Boge, will give "live" demonstrations of multi-
media essays, integrating text, graphics and audio, as samples of
how future MTO articles may look, *and* sound! Those who
plan to attend the New York meeting should make time to be at
the special session devoted to networking in order to see
those demonstrations, and to get information and advice on
getting Web access.
4. mto-talk
In comparison to past months, traffic on mto-talk has been sparse
since the release of issue 1.3. Hopefully, the two essays in 1.4
will stimulate dialog and reactivate mto-talk, which is an important
component of MTO. One of the significant benefits of electronic
publishing, and one which differentiates it from traditional
publishing, is the speed of distribution, which allows immediate,
interactive discussion among readers and authors. mto-talk was
established for just that purpose. Claire Boge, mto-talk Manager,
and I encourage subscribers to initiate and participate in
discussions about the current and future articles.
All new MTO subscribers automatically become subscribers to
mto-talk, and remain so unless they cancel their subscriptions.
Those who have cancelled, but would now like to resubscribe,
should send a message to the Harvard listproc address
(listproc@husc.harvard.edu) with the following text in the body of
the message:
subscribe mto-talk YourFristName YourLastName [fill in your names]
After August 1, send the message to the new, boethius listproc
address (listproc@smt.ucsb.edu). We look forward to
seeing your contributions to mto-talk!

Overview:
1. Retrieving MTO Items (with mto-serv, FTP, and through WWW)
2. Subscribing to MTO
3. Retrieving MTO Documentation
4. Queries and Communications
1. RETRIEVING MTO ITEMS
MTO FileServer
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).
FTP
MTO items may also be retrieved through anonymous FTP. The site is:
fas.harvard.edu). 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.
WWW
MTO also has a World-Wide Web page. The URL is:
http://smt.ucsb.edu/mto/index.html
Follow the links to the current or past issues.
2. SUBSCRIBING TO MTO
To subscribe to MTO, send an email message to one of the following
"listproc" addresses:
listproc@husc.harvard.edu (Internet)
listproc@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 "listproc" 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
"listproc" addresses (not to mto-serv!): unsubscribe mto-list
[NOTE: Do not send email to the "listproc" 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 "listproc")
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 "listproc" 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:
