Unfortunately the people living in the German Democratic Republic will not be able to participate in this discussion, because they are not (yet?) on this network. The list name reflects the most important event in the recent German history, but it can't and shouldn't be seen isolated from what happened, and is now happening, in Poland, the USSR, and Hungary before. And yes, dear Joe Techno, all this will influence even such important things as our networks. To subscribe, send a message to LISTSERV@UTDALLAS (BitNet) or LISTSERV%UTDALLAS.BITNET@VM1.NODAK.EDU (Internet) with the following command in the body (text) of the message: SUB 9NOV89-L your_full_name where "your_full_name" is your real name, not your login Id.

Mail archives are kept on host WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL as TOPS20 mail files named yymm.n-TXT, where n starts with one and increments by one into another file as each file reached 150 disk pages. To conserve disk space, all the mail files in the archive, except for the current year, are individually compressed. The compressed files have the suffix -Z as part of the filetype field; they should be renamed to have the suffix .Z (uppercase Z) when transfered to a Unix system so the uncompress program will find them. The current month's mail is still kept in ADA-SW-ARCHIV.TXT. The archives are stored in directory: PD2: Archive files are available via ANONYMOUS FTP from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL for those with TCP/IP access to the Internet.

Moderator: LIN@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU ARPANET-BBOARDS@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU ARPANET-BBOARDS@LCS.MIT.EDU Redistribution address for all known BBoards on the ARPANET. The guidelines for postings are somewhat loose. The ostensible purpose of the list is to distribute: (a) emergency notices ("Southern California just slid into the Pacific, machines at ISI and UCSD will be down for a few days"), and (b) notices of "academic interest", such as seminar and symposium announcements. Advertisements and for-profit notices are not appropriate (the DoD would get upset, among other considerations). A touchy borderline case is job offerings. The practice has been to accept postings from universities (the research community) and the research oriented military installations (the people paying for our hardware) but to refuse postings from private companies. The (shaky) rationale behind this is that university and military job offerings are "research opportunities" as opposed to for-profit advertisements (ie, joining the army or a university is not the way to get rich). Anyone is welcome to redistribute Arpanet-BBoards; it takes some of the (considerable) load off of MC's mailer. But please don't do it without sending a message to the -Request address first. There are Archive copies of every message ever sent to the list but no guarantee is made that they will be online or available at any particular time. The current archive file, such as it is, can be found as "COMAIL;BBOARD ARCHIV" on MC.LCS.MIT.EDU. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to the Coordinators.

There is an initial programming goal that the managers of this list wish to accomplish: We are inviting all users to assist in the coding of projects. For instance, our first task will be a Resident Program Manager. We will use Turbo Assembler or MacroAssembler to develop the applications. A second project will be an AV package to viruses, we already have programs for Jerusalem and Brain, these could be help for it. The users of this list will receive mail with code contributions and discussions, and eventually the program source listing finished with the help of the participants. Then, the list will propose a new project to work on. Any and all code contributions, ideas, and anything else that will help in achieving this opening goal will be appreciated, discussed, reported and acknowledged for the list.

Coordinator: Mike Urban ETHICS-L%MARIST.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU Discussions of ethics in computing usually generate more heat than light. This list could do a lot toward generating more light if we do more than trade war stories and opinions of the "I'm right and you're NOT" variety. Of course we can't get any work done without some war stories, since they furnish food for thought. But we shouldn't stop there. Given our experiences, we ought to be able to delineate the basic issues and hot areas in computer ethics. Some current ones have to do with: - ownership of information (both data and program files) - what happens when systems programs fail? Is anyone responsible for damage done? Or is the responsibility only for the necessary fix? - responsibility for program failures (Is the company responsible? the programmer? the lead programmer? the project manager?) Who's responsible for the "fix"? - how much privacy is reasonable (there are all kinds of levels here; data bases, systems, LANs, networks, etc.) BitNet users can add themselves to the list by issuing the following command to LISTSERV@MARIST.BITNET: SUBSCRIBE ETHICS-L your_full_name where your_full_name is your real name (not your userid).

This is not a list for learning how to play arcade games or to duplicate the discussions of usenet news groups, but rather, this is a list to learn and discuss some methods on how to design games. This list is being provided as an alternative source of discussion to the news group rec.games.* and others like it. A parallel facet of this is that this list is available for those who do not have access to usenet news or those who use compuserve, genie, mci mail, bitnet, etc. If you can get mail to xanth.cs.odu.edu and xanth.cs.odu.edu can get mail back to you, then if this subject interests you and you are willing to receive lots of mail :) please feel free to subscribe as described below. There are no restrictions on subject material other than it should connected with games in some manner with stress on designing games. The mail should also be in accordance with the general atmosphere of the Internet (No flame wars, no advertising, no source code... etc) Topics likely to be discussed in the mailing list are: RPG Dice FRPG Rules Shareware Strategies Philosophy Board Games Artificial Intelligence General Game Design Techniques Random Numbers and their creation. Basic Creator and Game Player Psychology. Creating new games from ``materials'' provided. Computer Games, Methods, Styles and Programming. The list is administrated by: Scott D. Yelich .

For those of you who don't know, Bucky is the person who invented the Geodesic Dome, which is what we all played on as children in the playground (the domes with all the triangles, remember?). Another example of geodesic architecture is the giant white sphere at Disney World's "Epcot Center". Of course, Bucky did a LOT more than just invent the Geodesic Dome! He invented other means of housing people cheaply, efficiently, COMFORTABLY, and basically anywhere in the world! (Yes, even ON the oceans!) So if you're interested in discussing Bucky, learning more about him, or finding out about 8500 ft. high pyramidal cities that float in the ocean and house 1,000,000 people comfortably (2000 sq ft. apartments with 1000 sq ft. extra patio/garden space), or 1+ mile diameter spherical cities that FLOAT IN THE AIR *WITHOUT POWER*, then sign up on the list!

The list is sponsored by Saint Michael's College in Winooski, Vermont. The list is intended to serve as a discussion point for GO-related topics, and as a meeting place for EMAIL games between list members. In contrast to the majority of BITNET lists, this one is supported by a DEC uVAX 3400 running the MAILSERV program for VAX/VMS. Consequently, commands used to access the list are slightly different than those used by LISTSERV. MAILSERV supports the following commands, among others: HELP - Ask for the HELP file. SUBSCRIBE - Subscribe to a list. LISTS - List all mailing lists for a MAILSERVer. MAILSERV accepts only mail messages; not interactive SENDs or TELLs. Be sure to send only a mail message with your commands in the body of the message. Don't type any other text into the message; it won't work! As an example, to subscribe to the GO-L list, send a mail message to MAILSERV%SMCVAX.BITNET@VM1.NODAK.EDU and in the body of the message just put the command SUBSCRIBE GO-L Notice that you don't need to give a subscription name; MAILSERV gets it From your address.

Coordinator: Jeff Carpenter HUMAN-NETS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU Mailing list originally consisting of the combined memberships of INFO-PCNET, HOME-SAT, and TELETEXT mailing lists. Human-Nets has discussed many topics, all of them related in some way to the theme of a world-wide computer and telecommunications network usually called WorldNet. The topics have ranged very widely, from something like tutorials, to state of the art discussions, to rampant speculation about technology and its impact. The list is extremely large, making it necessary to batch messages sent to the list and distributing them once each day during off peak periods to avoid overloading the system. The permanent archives contain all of the material distributed to the list. Due to size, this archive is broken down into several different files, stored in reverse temporal order. The files are currently stored on ARPANet host RU-BLUE in files RHYTHM:HUMNET.* (where "*" is a wild-card). All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@ARAMIS.RUTGERS.EDU. Moderator: Charles McGrew HUMANIST%UTOREPAS.BITNET@CORNELLC.CCS.CORNELL.EDU HUMANIST is an international electronic discussion group for computing Humanists and for those who support the application of computers to scholarship in the humanities.

Andrew, a joint project of Carnegie Mellon University & IBM, is a prototype computing environment for academic and research use under the UNIX operating system. There are four main parts to Andrew: - The Andrew File System (AFS), a large-scale distributed central file system. - The Andrew Toolkit (ATK), a toolkit for building complex graphical user interface programs in a window-manager independent way (currently runs on X11 and the old Andrew window manager) - The Andrew Message System (AMS), a multi-media mail and bulletin board system compatible with non-multi-media systems - The Andrew application programs, a suite of programs that use the ATK to provide various useful features. Topics can include (but are not limited to): - hints about using/building Andrew - discussions about desired features, changes, etc. - comments about the Andrew distribution (e.g., "it stinks", "it's great") - questions about the availability/existence of other parts of Andrew The mailing list is available in both Andrew multi-media format (if you have the AMS up and running) and plain-text format. By default you will be sent plain-text versions of the posts, but you can request a change in which version you receive by sending mail to the -Request address. When sending a message to this list, you should feel free to include any multi-media images (rasters, animations, etc.) which might help to express you question, comment, etc. Such images will automatically be stripped out and replaced by "A picture appeared here" before being redistributed to the plain-text recipients. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Info-Andrew-Request@ANDREW.CMU.EDU. NOTE: All subscription requests will also be added to the Info-Andrew-Bugs distribution list unless specifically requested not to.

Topics include: - problems discovered in building the distribution - problems discovered in running parts of the distribution - questions about difficulties encountered (even if you're not sure they're bugs) When sending a message to this list, you should feel free to include any multi-media images (rasters, animations, etc.), that might help to clarify a bug report. Such images will automatically be stripped out and replaced by "A picture appeared here" before being redistributed to the plain-text recipients. The list will be moderated, so that all bugs can be tracked and referenced with patch files. We expect that posts will go out to the subscribers about once a week, summarizing those reports which have been fixed and those still being looked into. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Info-Andrew-Bugs-Request@ANDREW.CMU.EDU.

Coordinator: karen@pemrac.space.swri.edu (Karen Birkelbach) INFO-CPM@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL Information and discussion on both 8 and 16-bit versions of the CP/M microcomputer operating system. Mail archives are kept on host WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL as TOPS20 mail files named yymm.n-TXT, where n starts with one and increments by one into another file as each file reached 150 disk pages. To conserve disk space, all the mail files in the archive, except for the current year, are individually compressed. The compressed files have the suffix -Z as part of the filetype field; they should be renamed to have the suffix .Z (uppercase Z) when transfered to a Unix system so the uncompress program will find them. The current month's mail is still kept in CPM-ARCHIV.TXT. The archives are stored in directory: PD2: Archive files are available via ANONYMOUS FTP FROM WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL for those with TCP/IP access to the Internet. Over 80 megabytes of public domain software (most of it CP/M) are kept in five program archives. For a description of these archives, request a copy of the "archive blurb" from INFO-CPM-REQUEST@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL.

DSEE elegantly and efficiently solves many common problems -- how to work on multiple versions of a program at a time, how to tell when someone has made a change you need to know about, how to develop software for multiple target machines, how to KNOW the right version of each source file was used, etc. If all this sounds like hype, join the mailing list, and listen to users. At least initially, the list will not be moderated or digested; if the volume is sufficient, this may change. Mail to the list will be archived in some public place that will be announced at a later date. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to info-dsee-request@apollo.com.

Moderator: Dan Burrows info-frame@AEROSPACE.AERO.ORG Mailing list for System Frameworks. This group is designed to provide information for software tool developers that are responsible for integrating heterogenous software products. This can include in-house and vendor supplied. Usually, the integration of the products is designed to provide an environment that makes using the tools easier. The basic issue is to build a `framework' around the tools that provides a common and consistent view of the system. The framework is not limited to homogeneous environments, but also can span heterogeneous systems. Companies like EDA and government sponsored projects like EIS are trying to tackle this problem. This group can be viewed as a forum for users and developers to voice their opinions on this subject. Frameworks are common in the area of CAD/CAE, CASE and office automation; but they are not limited to only these areas. Topics open for discussion are: Tool encapsulation Data Management Network Computing User Interface Data Transfer Languages Tool Portability Process Control/Flow Object Programming Anything Else All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to info-frame-request@AEROSPACE.AERO.ORG. Moderator: Louis McDonald INFO-FUTURES@ENCORE.COM ...{bu-cs,decvax,necntc,talcott}!encore!info-futures (UUCP) Digest to provide a speculative forum for analyzing current and likely events in technology as they will affect our near future in computing and related areas. In broad terms, topics of interest include developments in both computing research and industry which are likely to affect our decision making, particularly decisions we are probably grappling with right this minute. Technologies can change so rapidly that simply forecasting for needs within any organization one or two years in advance can be extremely difficult, frequently we are forced to provide foundations that effectively lock us into a technology for longer periods of time. It is hoped the information this list provides can help both the practitioner and researcher determine where best to expend resources. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-FUTURES-REQUEST@ENCORE.COM.
