                               ANNOUCEMENT
=================================================================
Cooperative Extension Service of The University of California,
Davis is making over eighty-five 4H Project  Manuals in fifteen
different project areas (from bee-keeping to  public-speaking)
available on the Internet.
 
   This is a joint experimental project between University of
California  Cooperative Extension and the Tennessee State 4-H
Program to test the limits of electronic technology in
disseminating research information to the public.
California is converting the 4-H printed materials to electronic
format, coordinating editing and updating of the material, and
providing the technical services necessary to make the material
accessible on the Internet. Tennessee is providing the educational
materials for global dissemination.  Tennessee and California
subject-matter Specialists are volunteering their time and
knowledge to assist young people in learning basic agriculture &
family resource information.  Additional 4-H projects will be added
as the pilot project progresses.
 
Please direct any comments or problem areas to:

     If the WordPerfect self extracting files are requested via the
almanac, they will be sent to you via e-mail in "uuencoded" format.
 
If your e-mail program does not have the capability to
automatically convert ("uudecode") the e-mail message back to the
WordPerfect 5.1 self extracting file, you can use an MSDOS program
called uudecode.exe.  uudecode.exe is public domain and is widely
available via FTP over the internet (contact your local internet
support staff).
 
     After the WordPerfect self extracting file is received, enter
<filename>.exe at MSDOS prompt to convert file to the
<filename>.wpf WordPerfect 5.1 file.  The fonts used in the
WordPerfect files are Times 12 and 14.
