-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I just posted the following from stanford.edu; it probably won't be approved and propagated in time, though. By the way, alt.internet.media-coverage, to which someone pointed me, is explicitly *not* for press releases. I do not plan to utter the string "cypherpunks@toad.com" because I think there's enough noise here already (some from me). Apologies to sameer for being presumptuous, but I did say "hope," and I also think tomorrow would be a really good time to document the .PWL file bugs... - -rich - ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 06 Dec 1995 14:39:23 -0800 From: Rich Graves <w95netbugs@aol.com> Newgroups: misc.news.internet.announce, misc.news.internet.discuss Subject: Info on Microsoft Internet Announcements Thursday, December 7, 1995 Please reply, if necessary, to the address in the current FAQ, because I very seldom actually log on to America "On Line." Before forwarding this along, please check whether this has already been done; and let me know after the fact. As has already been announced in the print press, Bill Gates, who works at a large software company, will hold a press conference tomorrow, December 7th (a date with some historical significance), to announce Microsoft's Internet strategy. For information on Microsoft-sponsored marketing events in your area, please see http://www.microsoft.com/events/ Approximately fifteen minutes after Mr. Gates begins speaking (anyone have the exact schedule? please phone me), we hope to release very significant updates to the following Internet sites: http://www.c2.org/hackmsoft/ [information on a few security problems with Microsoft products] http://www-leland.stanford.edu/~llurch/win95netbugs/faq.html [canon URL; multiple DNS-load-balancing SPARCServers] http://www-dccs.stanford.edu/NetConsult/Win95Net/faq.html [use this mirror of the above if you have an old DNS server that barfs on the www-leland lbnamed tricks] news.answers, comp.answers, comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc, and several higher-traffic groups will receive a text rendering of the above. This will be the first approved and rtfm-archived posting; the news-answers folks got back to me last week. gopher://quixote.stanford.edu/1m/win95netbugs will get a text rendering of the above, and contains relevant messages from an email discussion list. An email autoresponder to be named later (finger llurch@elaine.stanford.edu in the morning). The various archives on http://www.hks.net/ have additional information for the technically minded. A PGP-signed copy of this announcement is available on request, but I don't want to confuse the unwashed masses unnecessarily. - -rich "A day that will live in infamy" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMMYaz43DXUbM57SdAQEeDQP/a8ZccX4fpMbKCNa6Cllii0qWI6A8oUKH 30fdoGl1HvlgWVhsB0paVLsQS8tQGsVt/MzKJLasTsnKuYVJCmdgmXcj9nEE9YIY SxBEDn6yGno2ey7G1lXJSkeVAjB8o/fX+kZXGNKfOGKgNqjIl12jHbW7NX1bsIKi wQl/s4uikQs= =6Z1M -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
