Subject: office space & standards?
Hello;
Is anybody aware of a website where I can find infos about working space
and standards? I need something for office work, public sector, any
country. From my searches so far it seems that only industrial work is
regulated...
Thanks in advance

Most of the systems that do not allow it have a thin, or already
overtaxed, pipe to the internet. It is that resource that these tend to
overload.

Gerry - this is my reply to your off-list message to me. I'm sending it to the
list as it keeps getting bounced back from your autoresponder, though I put
nothing in the subject line (anything I put there is automatically changed bo
upper case by my mailer).

I never got the first message, but the second seems to have solved the mystery.

Subject: Re: Truncated Digests
Accmailers,
This is a test to prove whether or not a period in column 1 truncates
the digest.
The next line has the period in column 1.

Glad to have been of help! I'm no computer buff, but I do like looking into
details when things go wrong.

I'm sure you'll find a way ... and we can all look forward to getting full
digests again. :-)
Thanks for your help.

Subject: WWW4 servers - problem with some characters
While requesting pages via [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED], I encountered the following error:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----

----- Transcript of session follows -----

It is probably because these mail robots consider '+' as a special
character. Has anyone encountered the same problem? Is there a way by which
we can overcome this?

I think we should all give a great vote of thanks to Gerry for all his hard and
dedicated work on our behalf. I for one appreciate him immensely - indeed all
the snippets of expert information I have gleaned from Gerry's advice on Accmail
are sitting in a special directory in my system, helping to increase my
knowledge and understanding of many aspects of computing. Without such selfless
and dedicated individuals to help and advise us, where would we all be?
Please let us all give three cheers for Gerry and try to be as helpful as
cooperative as we can.

ISO International Standard 9241, "Ergonomic Requirements for Office
Work with VDTs."
I don't have a link for this.
Some 1991 OSHA Proposed Standards can be found on this page:
http://www.ergoweb.com/Pub/Info/Std/oshaopts.html
More links on this page
Ergonomics Standards and Guidelines
Ergonomics Compliance with OSHA
Ergonomics Concepts
Reference Materials Professional
Organizations in Ergonomics
Proceeding from "Managing Ergonomics in the 1990's"
http://www.ergoweb.com/Pub/Info/infoopts.shtml
The UK Ergonomics Society has a HUGE (too many to list) links page at:
http://www.ergonomics.org.uk/links.htm
You might use a search and search on "ergonomics" or "human factors" as
most office space rules have to do with computer keyboard placement,
desk heights, distance from the PC monitor, exercising in place,
radiation, etc.

First, the next time you post, please turn off you CAPSLOCK key. Typing
a message in all uppercase is considered to be bad nettiquette and
implies you are shouting.

Not using the built in features. Though I guess I could create another
juno account JUST for this list, and any future lists, that require[s]
that the dot be avoided.
I may take it out of my sig, then manually insert it for the other two
lists.

Your english is better than some on this list.
To oversimplify: These are the two common protocols (methods) used for
computers to communicate via modem to their ISP (Internet Service
Provider) for access to the internet. PPP is usually faster, and thus
preferred.

A possibility is to replace a hard-coded "+" with its hexadecimal
equivalent, that is, %2B

If you know your Russian history, in 1932, Aleksey Grigoriyevich
Stakhanov, the legendary Soviet model coal miner whose use of
innovative working methods to greatly increase his personal
productivity became the basis for the Stakhanovite movement in the
Soviet Union.
The Italians are a little more up on this than Americans... I think it
