- \chapter {Maintaining {\REDUCE}}
- {\REDUCE} continues to evolve both in terms of the number of facilities
- available, and the power of the individual facilities. Corrections are
- made as bugs are discovered, and awkward features simplified. In order to
- provide users with easy access to such enhancements, a {\em {\REDUCE}
- network library\/} has been established from which material can be extracted
- by anyone with electronic mail access to the Internet computer network.
- In addition to miscellaneous documents, source and utility files, the
- library includes a bibliography of papers referencing {\REDUCE} which
- contains over 800 entries. Instructions on using this library are sent to
- all registered {\REDUCE} users who provide a network address. If you
- would like a more complete list of the contents of the library, send to
- {\em reduce-netlib@rand.org\/} the single line message {\em send index\/} or
- {\em help}. The current {\REDUCE} information
- package can be obtained from the network library by including on a
- separate line {\em send info-package\/} and a demonstration file by
- including the line {\em send demonstration}. If you prefer, hard copies
- of the information package and the bibliography are available from the
- {\REDUCE} secretary at RAND, 1700 Main Street, P.O. Box 2138, Santa
- Monica, CA 90407-2138 ({\em reduce@rand.org}). Copies of the network
- library are also maintained at other addresses. At the time of writing,
- {\em reduce-netlib@can.nl\/} and {\em reduce-netlib@pi.cc.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/}
- may also be used instead of {\em reduce-netlib@rand.org}.
- A World Wide Web {\REDUCE} server with URL
- \begin{verbatim}
- http://www.rrz.uni-koeln.de/REDUCE/
- \end{verbatim}
- is also supported. In addition to general information about {\REDUCE}, this
- server has pointers to the network library, the demonstration versions,
- examples of {\REDUCE} programming, a set of manuals, and the {\REDUCE} online
- help system.
- Finally, there is a {\REDUCE} electronic forum accessible from the same
- networks. This enables {\REDUCE} users to raise questions and discuss
- ideas concerning the use and development of {\REDUCE} with other users.
- Additions and changes to the network library and new releases of {\REDUCE}
- are also announced in this forum. Any user with appropriate electronic
- mail access is encouraged to register for membership in this forum. To do
- so, send a message requesting inclusion to \\
- {\em reduce-forum-request@rand.org}.
