ObjectAda Mailing Lists - Unix Compilers - Information

 

The Unix-ObjectAda mailing list is a forum for users of the UNIX-hosted Aonix ObjectAda compiler products.

You can use this forum to discuss usage issues with other users, inquire about features, suggest enhancements you'd like. In short if you have a question or comment about the product, post it to the mailing list.

To subscribe, send an e-mail with the command "subscribe unix-objectada" in the message body. (Note: be sure to send your message in plain text format.)  Subscriptions to the list are moderated by Aonix Customer Support.  Once your request to subscribe has been approved by the list moderator, you will receive an e-mail confirming your subscription to the mailing list.

To unsubscribe, send an e-mail with the command "unsubscribe unix-objectada" in the message body.

What are the rules?

  1. All postings to the list should preferably have the prefix "Unix-OA:" in the subject header since this helps subscribers to see where the mail came from.
  2. Please add your name and contact info at the bottom of your post - this is not a strict requirement but it will help Aonix to follow up if necessary.
  3. Please take the time to edit out unnecessary portions of postings you respond to.
  4. Please try to keep your questions relevant to the subject matter for the list you post to.
  5. Aonix mailing lists are not to be used for advertising.  Aonix reserves the right to advertise its products and services on the Aonix mailing lists, moderate the mailing lists for content, and cancel subscriptions to the mailing lists as required to prevent abuse of the mailing lists.
  6. Bear in mind that while Aonix makes every effort to respond to questions posted to the mailing lists, the mailing lists are not intended as a substitute for Customer Support and a response is not guaranteed.  The mailing lists are intended as an open forum for users to help each other, participate in discussions, etc.

Can I get back issues?

Yes, these are available as text files, one per month and a partial one for the current month. To get the full list of files, send a message with no subject line and a body containing the command "index unix-objectada".
