Finally, the Restitution Discussion Group is reborn on a server in Oxford. As of your receipt of this message, please use the new addresses for anything to do with this mailing list. The new addresses are as follows: For postings: restitution@maillist.ox.ac.uk For commands: majordomo@maillist.ox.ac.uk This message is arriving via the old server in Edmonton, but I will soon be instructing the systems people there to shut it down, so it is not long for this world. There will be (at least) two small hiccups associated with the changeover. First, the "get" function has changed a little bit. It is actually simpler. To get a file called , you would email to and say, in the body of the message, get restitution You can try it out with the file "contents.txt", which contains a list of all of the files available and a brief description of each. The other hiccup is that some recent subscribers needed to be resubscribed. The new list was set up with the subscriber list from the old list as it was in about August (which was when this was supposed to get done). Anyone added since then has had to be manually subscribed by me. Thus, these people will get a new "welcome to the list" info message as though they were new subscribers. NOTE that if you recently unsubscribed, ie you unsubscribed from the Edmonton list since August, you may find that your subscription has been resurrected through this process. If so, please accept my apologies. You can unsubscribe by emailing to and saying, in the body of the message, unsubscribe restitution In fact, I would recommend that everyone retrieve the new "info" file which goes with the new list. The way to get it is to email to and say, in the body of the message, info restitution This gives you a reference for some of the commands (eg "get") and tells you eg how to unsubscribe. You should keep it, either in a printed form or just floating around in an mailbox. Having got it, you could then trash the old one from the Edmonton list (you did keep that one, right?). I hope the relaunch of the list will see some discussion. Anyone who would like to have something added to the publicly available files should contact me.
