From October to December of 1994, Patrick Douglas Crispen ran this Internet workshop by e-mail. With his permission, MUUG is making it available on the WWW, so that those who missed the original e-mail workshop can still learn the lessons he taught. The original workshop ran for 6 weeks. By browsing through it on the Web, you can do it at your own pace.
We have kept the original content of these lessons unchanged. All we've done is to add this hypertext index to the lessons. Even though the e-mail workshop is over, please bear in mind that the author still receives more e-mail than he can handle regarding this workshop. Please continue to respect his wishes, and don't e-mail him unnecessarily.
Also note that it is MUUG, and not the author, who maintains this hypertext index page. Any comments, corrections or complaints about its content should be addressed to the MUUG WWW Administrator (www@muug.mb.ca).
Those who subscribed by e-mail received a few preliminary mailings before the lessons began. These were an acceptance message and a syllabus describing the lesson schedule. After this, the lessons were mailed daily.

The workshop ended with a few final mailings. These were a "Thank you" message and a brief story about the "Good Times" virus hoax. If you decide to send away to the LISTSERV for copies of the lessons (which you shouldn't need to as they're all here) please follow the instructions in the "Thank you" message, and not the acceptance message, as the procedure has changed.
