                IPNet Information 
------------------------------------------------------------

The IPNet is a network for researchers working the area of 
Inverse and/or Ill-Posed Problems.  The goal is to promote 
communication between scientists working in these areas, to 
provide a newsletter 'IPNet Digest' for notices and scientific 
queries of general interest, and to provide a central database 
of up-to-date e-mail addresses and World Wide Web sites of
members.

The organizer of the IPNet and the current editor of the 
IPNet Digest is Patricia Lamm of Michigan State University.  
The software being used to run the network was written by 
Tzu Hsi Pan of Michigan State University.

These e-mail addresses are used as part of the IPNet, with 
details on usage to follow:

9.  Examples
    --------
a)  An example of how Joe Foobar would subscribe to the IPNet:

        To: address@hidden
        Subject:  anything

        subscribe address@hidden
        lastname Foobar
        firstname Joe
        institution University of Southern California
        department Mathematics
        url http://www.math.usc.edu/~foobar
        interests I work in numerical methods for inverse problems
        with special interest in tomography and medical imaging
        problems.
        end

b) An example of how Joe Foobar would unsubscribe to the IPNet:

        To: address@hidden
        Subject:  anything

        unsubscribe address@hidden
        end

c) Early subscriptions to the IPNet did not include a place to enter the
   URL of a home page, a statement of research, or a department.  Here's
   an example of how Joe Foobar would add (or change) the URL of his WWW
   home page and a statement of his research interests, without changing his
   e-mail address.  In this case, the 'url' and 'interests' fields are
   present in the e-mailed request.  The 'interests' field should always
   be last.   

        To: address@hidden
        Subject:  anything

        change address@hidden
        url http://www.math.usc.edu/~foobar
        interests I work in numerical methods for inverse problems
        with special interest in tomography and medical imaging
        problems.
        end

d) An example of how Joe Foobar would change the statement of his
   research interests (without changing his e-mail address, or anything
   else):   

        To: address@hidden
        Subject:  anything

        change address@hidden
        interests I work in numerical methods for inverse problems
        with special interest in image processing problems.
        end

e) An example of how Joe Foobar would change both his
   e-mail address and institution:

        To: address@hidden
        Subject:  anything

        change address@hidden address@hidden
        institution Stanford University, Math Department
        end

10.  Summary of commands that may be sent to  address@hidden
