It has come to our attention that the instructions for accessing the ALCTS
Network News (AN2) that appeared in a message on 14 May 91 may be causing
some difficulties for those people who want to subscribe.  The instructions
said that you should send your request to:

         net%"LISTSERV@UICVM.BITNET"

The prefix NET% is actually used by only some computer systems.  For example,
that prefix is used in some VAX-based systems, but not others.  The instruction
   should have indicated that you should use the normal method
for your system to send a message to:

        LISTSERV@UICVM.BITNET

The message you send should be

        SUBSCRIBE ALCTS [your name]

I hope this clears up any confusion.  If you have further questions,
please contact the ALCTS Offices (Alex Bloss, Bitnet address: u47209@uicvm).
