Reply-to: dawson@Atex.Kodak.COM
[28may91] Here are three lists:
- (L) the names and net addresses of those who maintain and publish to
alt.tv.twin-peaks various compilations and lists of TP factoids,
# useful to the truly obsessed, the gifted, and the damned
- (R) a guide to other TP goodies, available outside this newsgroup, the
existence of which has been posted here
- (S) the addresses of ABC, the Twin Peaks production company, and others
# to whom you can write in a probably vain effort to save (or resurrect)
TP
Changes and new listings are marked by #. Please send me any corrections
or additions.
There is an anonymous FTP site for much of the material in list (L), and
some of the material in list (R), thanks to Peter Asenstorfer at the
University of South Australia (peter@audrey.sait.edu.au). The site is:
audrey.sait.edu.au [130.220.16.88] directory /pub/twin-peaks
Items currently in this archive are marked below by "ftp" in the margin.
# In response to lots of questions, I include below a pocket tutorial on
# how to use anonymous FTP:
#
# Start up FTP and at its prompt ("ftp>") say "open 130.220.16.88" . If you
# connect successfully you'll be asked for name and password. For name say
# "anonymous" and for password use your net address, e.g. I would type
# "dawson@Atex.Kodak.COM" .
#
# Now, say "cd /pub/twin-peaks" . FTP has help (for most implementations you
# type "?" or "h"), but the commands you need are these:
#
# ls brief listing
# ls -l long listing
# cd change directory on the remote machine
# lcd change directory on your local machine
# get copy a remote file to the current directory on
# your local disk
# binary need to say this for other than text files (FTP responds,
# mysteriously, "Mode set to I")
# quit close connection and exit
#
# That's it, enjoy. The large world of anonymous FTP is now open to you.

Save TP Resources
==================
The following addresses, phone numbers, and other resources will prove useful
to those who want to write letters or otherwise express their opinions on
the hiatus / cancellation of TP, or to attempt to find a new home for the
show.
During the hiatus Lynch and Frost encouraged a letter-writing campaign to
Robert Iger (see S1). Now that the show has been cancelled I don't know what
#the creators intend to do (or want us to do).
See item S7 below, the COOP campaign headquarters, for access to letterhead
and so forth. COOP periodically posts notices of "direct action" of various
sorts, such as campaigns of leverage on particular sponsors.

From harlan@copper.ucs.indiana.edu (Pete Harlan):
I just called the number and got someone's answering machine, and it
wasn't Mr. Chernin's. I don't have a correct phone number, but this
one apparently isn't it.
I did call Fox Broadcasting, and the woman was unable to give me a
number to call. She did inform me that Twin Peaks isn't a Fox show. :-)
