Prohaska Stuart Macmillan AI-MEDICINE@VUSE.VANDERBILT.EDU ai-medicine is an unmoderated mailing list serving internet and bitnet domains since Sept. 1990. Current readership consists mainly of computer scientists and engineers with interest in biomedical and clinical research, and of physicians with interest in medical informatics. AI in Medicine is a broad subject area which encompasses almost all research areas in artificial intelligence. For the purposes of this mailing list, AI in Medicine may be defined as "computed-based medical decision support" (or "computer-assisted medical decision making"). This definition may be expanded to include AI-based approaches to computer-assisted medical instruction. According to this definition, topics such as billing systems and hospital/medical office information retrieval systems clearly remain outside the scope of this forum. There are some borderline topics which cannot readily be classified under AI in Medicine, yet have clear connections to both artificial intelligence and medical practice. Processing and interpretation of medical images and signals are among those subject areas, and the current readership of this list contains a substantial number of researchers working in these fields. These borderline subject areas will remain within the scope of the list, as long as the focus lies on the artificial intelligence aspects, and not the detailed engineering principles. Who may join: any individual or organization with internet or bitnet mailing addresses may join.

Therefore, all topics having to do with music are welcome, including but not limited to: composition, performance, recording; research, critique, inquiry, advocacy, instrument design, ethnomusicology, psychacoustics, orchestration, jazz, classical, funk, plainchant, and anything else you can think of. If a topic is running that you have something to say about, or to question, jump in. If you have something entirely different in mind, start up another thread. Music is universal. With the advent of electronic communication, so are we. To be added to or deleted from the list, send mail to the Coordinator.

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 AMETHYST-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.

Scholars interested in the later English Middle Ages and those interested in the early Medieval period throughout Europe are also encouraged to join the list. Members receive a directory of all our members in order to facilitate telecommunications, and a monthly electronic report to which they are encouraged to contribute announcements and information. This report often provides members with new information about the use of computers in some aspect of their disciplines, as well as news of more conventional developments in the field. We also have projects underway to encode databases which members may use in their own work. To this end, we are now working on the details of distributing to the membership a database of all manuscripts written or owned in England before 1100. We would be glad to add your name to our directory and thus to make you a member of ANSAXNET. Membership is free to everyone with access to a BITNET node. Anyone who wants to be a member of ANSAXNET should send e-mail to the Coordinator, including a conventional mailing address and some information about your particular interests in early medieval cultural studies.

(from the header: Ted White ) ARACHNET@acadvm1.uottawa.CA [Last Updated 12-October-1991] A Loose Association of Electronic Discussion Groups and Electronic Journals of Interest to Scholars. There are more than 600 discussion groups, newsletters, digests and electronic journals devoted to topics of scholarly interest. As more scholars come on-line, the size of these groups, the diversity of material they have to offer, and their total number are all bound to increase. These groups could benefit from a loose confederation that would allow them to share resources easily without imposing any kind of restrictions on their manner of operation. Arachnet is such a confederation. Arachnet is a ListServ list, Arachnet@Uottawa.BITNET or ARACHNET@ACADVM1. Uottawa.CA if you are on the Internet. All editors of discussion groups, newsletters, digests and electronic journals are invited to be members. On its file-server, Arachnet will contain a current list of its member groups, descriptions of each group, and lists of files they hold. As well as the current Directory of E-mail Based Conferences and Electronic Journals. Arachnet's fileserver will also hold various information files pertaining to the creation of e-serials. The conversational component will be a means by which editors of new groups can receive help from their colleagues on questions of editorial policy and the social/ethical aspects of electronic conferencing. Arachnet is not intended to replace Lstown-L@INDYCMS which is a discussion list for listowners to discuss technical aspects of Listserv based discussion group management. Arachnet will be an unedited list but will accept postings only from Arachnet subscribers. If you are an editor or owner of an existing or future e-mail based forum, you are cordially invited to join. Please fill out the attached e-form and return it to one of the Editors listed below.

Moderator: GROSS@BCVMS.BITNET 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.

Potential members include artists, art-administrators, writers, theorists, students, teachers. The aim of the list is to encourage contributions from all who have dipped a toe into these waters and found them congenial, but who know not where to turn next. The idea is that alliances will be formed, projects launched, funding gained, technology utilised, ideas launched and wild speculation indulged in. I hope that art projects will be instigated via this list. It is within my desire for the list that it evolves. The list encompasses: *Projects *New work *Events *Collaborations *Funding *Technology *Shows *Jobs *Conferences *Proposals *Organisations *Information *Publications *Education *Wild speculation ARTNET provides a forum for the discussion of ART that is concerned with: network; installation; project; communication; temporary; ad-hoc; transient; mobile; time-based; formless; de- centred. I call this PERIPATETIC art. I define peripatetic art thus: The art or action of creative endeavour with lack of fixed base. There is no fixed centre which claims to have 'the knowledge'. All projects involve some aspect of lack of enclosure; the promotion of action without centre. Peripatetic art tends towards the transient, the time based, the mobile. Peripatetology is as much about receiving the action, the project, as it is about initiating it. I am concerned with improving communication amongst those working in these and related areas. By its nature this kind of work often does not lend itself to easy documentation or definition. The concept mooted here, and encapsulated in the term 'peripatetic', has by its very nature a changeable agenda. I hope that in action we will create new ways of working alongside some very old human desires. To subscribe to ARTNET send the command subscribe artnet in a mail message to MAILBASE@NEWCASTLE.AC.UK To contact the list owner for help, advice, information, send mail to: ARTNET-REQUEST@NEWCASTLE.AC.UK If you need more information about MAILBASE you can send the commands: send mailbase overview ( for a general guide to Mailbase ) send mailbase userhelp ( for a User Guide) as a mail message to MAILBASE@NEWCASTLE.AC.UK (Janet UK.AC.NEWCASTLE) ART-SUPPORT@NEWCASTLE.AC.UK [Last Updated 12-October-1991] Art-Support exists as a forum for the discussion of ART related matters. Potential members include artists, art-administrators, writers, theorists, students, teachers and others with an interest in art. This list provides a general magazine type information exchange and discussion area. As in any specialist magazine there will be much of interest to subscribers and also some irrelevance. Although not in any way subscription/geographically limited, the focus of the list is intended to be the UK art community. It is hoped that the list will stimulate the use of network resources. The idea is that alliances will be formed; projects launched; funding gained; technology utilised; ideas launched and wild speculation indulged in. ART-SUPPORT is about ART, not technology. Any art or art related subject is acceptable.

There are only four general * rules: * * (1) Treat everyone's faith as if it were as sacred as your * own. In fact, to be safe, treat their faiths BETTER * than your own. * * (2) Excessively rude, obnoxious, or abusive posting will * not be tolerated. * * (3) Personal attacks will NOT be tolerated. Take your * fights to e-mail where they belong, NOT in public. * * (4) Due to the varied nature of computer systems, please * take into account that not everyone has the time or * disk space to read several thousand lines of BELIEF-L * mail per day. If you have a large amount of material * to send to the list, please do one or more of the * following: * * [a] Announce that you have something you'd * like to discuss, and solicit opinions from * from the list as to whether it would be o.k. * to bring it up. * * [b] Post in reasonably-sized "chunks" -- by my * definition, in the range of 200 lines, once * or twice a day at the most. * * [c] If you will be reposting or crossposting * material from another source, announce that * you have it, and offer to send copies to * interested parties. * * The first "rule" is really a guideline. Proselytizing is OK, so long * as you remember that you get what you dish out. With respect to the * second rule, please remember that you are a professional, and * professionals don't get abusive to others.

The three new lists, which replace the former BIRD_RBA@ARIZVM1, provide a clearing-house for transcribed birding hotlines for three major areas of the country--East, West, and Central. The new lists are BIRDEAST, BIRDCNTR, and BIRDWEST. Current subscribers to BIRD_RBA will be automatically shifted to all three of the new lists. New subscribers must choose which of the three regional lists best answers their needs. Of course, new subscribers may still subscribe to all three lists for full coverage. Subscribers are invited to submit transcripts from their area of the country if it is not already represented. A current list of hotlines available from the National Birding Hotline Cooperative is appended. Contributions to the lists are always welcome and should be sent in MAIL format to BIRDEAST, or BIRDWEST, or BIRDCNTR, all at ARIZVM1. Please note that these are not intended to be general chat lists. Contributions should either be transcripts of birding hotlines or, if a local hotline recording is not available to you, concise statements of species seen and the location of the sighting, along with any relevant information such as 'out of range,' 'out of normal time frame,' etc. If you are confused about which of the three lists to send your material to, contact either of the list owners first. Their Bitnet/Internet addresses are listed below. You may subscribe to The National Birding Hotline Cooperative by sending an interactive SUBSCRIBE command or by including a SUBSCRIBE command as the ONLY line of a MAIL message to LISTSERV@ARIZVM1, as follows: Interactive example from CMS: TELL LISTSERV AT ARIZVM1 SUB BIRDEAST or BIRDCNTR or BIRDWEST MAIL example: SUB BIRDEAST or BIRDCNTR or BIRDWEST To cancel your subscription, issue the SIGNOFF command to LISTSERV@ARIZVM1: SIGNOFF BIRDEAST or BIRDCNTR or BIRDWEST Do NOT send SIGNOFF or other LISTSERV commands to BIRDEAST, BIRDCNTR, or BIRDWEST. If you are on the Internet network, subscription messages should be sent to LISTSERV@ARIZVM1.BITNET and hotline transcripts should be mailed to BIRDEAST@ARIZVM1.BITNET (or CNTR or WEST, as the case may be). In some cases, Internet mailer programs will not know how to get to a local Internet/Bitnet gateway. If this appears to be a problem for you, send subscription messages to: LISTSERV%ARIZVM1.BITNET@CORNELLC.CIT.CORNELL.EDU and hotline transcripts to: BIRDEAST%ARIZVM1.BITNET@CORNELLC.CIT.CORNELL.EDU or BIRDCNTR or BIRDWEST The following states are currently represented with transcribed hotlines on the three regional lists: BIRDEAST BIRDCNTR BIRDWEST ======== ======== ======== Maine Ohio New Mexico New Jersey Indiana Arizona Pennsylvania Michigan California Delaware Texas Maryland District of Columbia Virginia If you have any questions, problems, or suggestions please send a note to us at one of the addresses listed below: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles B.

BUDDHA-L on LISTSERV@ULKYVM.LOUISVILLE.EDU or LISTSERV@ULKYVM.BITNET [Last Updated 28-January-1992] An electronic discussion group called BUDDHA-L has recently been formed towards the end of providing a means for those interested in Buddhist Studies to exchange information and views. It is hoped that the group will function as an open forum for scholarly discussion of topics relating to the history, literature and languages, fine arts, philosophy, and institutions of all forms of Buddhism. It may also serve as a forum for discussion of issues connected to the teaching of Buddhist studies at the university level, and as a place for posting notices of employment opportunities. The primary purpose of this list is to provide a forum for serious academic discussion. It is open to all persons inside and outside the academic context who wish to engage in substantial discussion of topics relating to Buddhism and Buddhist studies. BUDDHA-L is not to be used for proselytizing for or against Buddhism in general, any particular form of Buddhism, or any other religion or philosophy, nor is it to be used as a forum for making unsubstantiable confessions of personal conviction. The discussion on the list is to be moderated, not in order to suppress or censor controversies on any topic, but rather to limit irrelevant discussions and idle chatter, and to redirect or return messages sent to the list by accident. Content or style will never be altered by the moderator, whose only responsibility will be to forward all appropriate postings to the list. If you wish to subscribe to BUDDHA-L, send an e-mail message to LISTSERV@ULKYVM.LOUISVILLE.EDU, or BITNET nodes can send to LISTSERV@ULKYVM.

Coordinator: Tony Olekshy C+Health on LISTSERV@IUBVM Computing and Health or LISTSERV@IUBVM.UCS.INDIANA.EDU [Last Updated 12-October-1991] C+Health is intended to promote sharing of information, experiences, concerns, and advice about computers and health. Anecdotal evidence, media reports, and some formal studies suggest that computer users are at risk from misuse and overuse of computers. Eyestrain, headache, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other apparently computer-related maladies are increasing. And, it would appear that colleges, universities, and other institutions have been slow to respond with education, training, office and lab design, furniture purchasing, and other programs that could make computing more healthful -- and productive. We welcome questions and answers; article and book reviews; hardware, software, and furniture evaluations; approaches to influencing institutional policy; speculation; and humor. Medical, legal, technical, financial, aesthetic, and administrative viewpoints are encouraged. We hope that this forum will be of interest to end users, computing managers, epidemiologists, and policymakers. Subscribers to this list may also wish to participate in EDUCOM's Project EASI: Equal Access to Software for Instruction, "dedicated to assisting higher education in developing computer support services for people with disabilities." EASI provides information and guidance on campus applications of adaptive computer technology. For information on EASI, contact Carmela Castorina, CSMICLC@UCLAMVS.BITNET. In general, C+Health will focus on individual and institutional measures for "keeping healthy people healthy" as well as remedies for restoring temporarily disabled people to health. We suggest that computing issues related to those with permanent disabilities be referred to our dedicated colleagues at EASI. Although this distinction will not always be "easy," one goal of C+Health is to minimize the number of casualties in our increasingly computer-intensive campuses, offices, and homes. This list will not be moderated, at least initially, so we encourage contributors to be succinct, to include relevant parts of messages to which they are responding, and to append their names, titles, and institutions to contributions. New users are welcome to send to the list a brief statement of their experiences and interests in this topic. Unless stated otherwise, it will be assumed that contributions represent individual opinion rather than institutional policy.

About messages posted in Chinese. ------------------------------------- A number of coding schemes have been developed for using Chinese on computers. The two most common are GuoBiao (developed in mainland China) and Big5 (developed in Taiwan). Complicating matters further, there are different varieties of Big5 codes, the most common being ET Big5 (the code used by the Taiwanese program ETen, pronounced Yi3tian1) and HKU Big5 (the code used for programs developed at Hong Kong University). There is a preference for GuoBiao (often abbreviated to GB) among CHPOEM-L subscribers, though files using other codes are welcome. Utilities are available for converting between GuoBiao and Big5, and between ET Big5 and HKU Big5; see below. Chinese files sent to the list should be uuencoded. The uuencode command is included on most Unix-based systems; type "man uuencode" for instructions on its use, or ask your system administrator. PC versions of uuencode and uudecode are available via anonymous ftp from ahkcus.org [192.55.187.25] as uuduue20.zip in the src/pc directory. (Ask your system administrator for help using FTP.) For information about uuencode and the Mac, see the Mac help file mentioned below. Note: Sometimes you may get an error message when uudecoding a file, indicating some kind of "short file" problem; garbage may then show up at the end of the decoded file. This is be- cause the mail system removes blank spaces from otherwise blank lines. When you uuencode a file, the next to last line is often just one blank space, which then disappears when you mail the file. When you try to uudecode the file, uudecode detects the missing space and announces the "short file" error. There are two ways to avoid this problem: (1) Before mailing a uuencoded file, replace all spaces with an open-single-quote (`) mark. (As far as uudecode is concerned, the ` mark and space are exactly equivalent.) If you receive a uuencoded file in the mail, but the sender neglected this step, simply type the ` mark in on the blank line above the "end" line, then uudecode the file. (2) Ask your system administrator to install a more recent version of uuencode that uses ` instead of space. Source code for this is available via anonymous ftp from ahkcus.org in the src/unix directory. To read a file written in Chinese, you will need a program that can interpret the Chinese code used in that file. Different programs are available for different hardware platforms. PC users can get information about GuoBiao editors by sending email to LISTSERV@UGA.BITNET with the message GET PC HELP. HKU Big5 files can be viewed with shownews.exe or readnews.exe, available via anonymous ftp at ahkcus.org [192.55.187.25] in the src/pc/hku directory. (You will also need the chinese.16 font file from the same directory.) ET Big5 files must be read with the ETen operating system, which is commercial software selling for about US$80. However there is a utility, et2hku, to convert ET Big5 files to HKU Big5 files, which can then be read with shownews. (See below.) Mac users can get information about both GuoBiao and Big5 software by sending email to LISTSERV@UGA.BITNET with the message GET MAC HELP. X Windows users can use either cxterm or xhzview for both GuoBiao or Big5 files. For information about cxterm, send email to LISTSERV@UGA.BITNET with the message GET CXTERM HELP. For infor- mation about xhzview, send email to LISTSERV@UGA.BITNET with the message GET XHZVIEW HELP. Note: Users may run into problems because different systems indicate line endings differently. Unix-based systems use linefeed (ASCII 10, ^J) to end a line, the Mac uses carriage return (ASCII 13, ^M), and PC systems use carriage-return/linefeed. This usually can be solved by using an editor or automatically fixed though transferring process. If NOT, you can use the following methods: + MAC to UNIX convertion: At unix prompt type, tr '\015' '\012' < Mac_file > Unix_file + MSDOS to UNIX conversion: FTP folding.c from ahkcus.org:./src/unix. Folding removes carriage-returns and, if desired, adds linefeeds according to a specified linewidth. Simply compile the source code and excute it for `how to use' message. [ ...... this section is not complete ] ------------------------- 3. Conversion Utilities. ------------------------- To convert between GuoBiao and Big5 (et or hku) files, use hc ("Hanzi Converter"), available via anonymous ftp from ahkcus.org [192.55.187.25] in the src/unix directory. (There is another conversion utility available called b2g, but it seems to miss a large number of characters.) Since Big5 covers about 5,000 more characters than GuoBiao, it's likely there will be a few missing characters in Big5 to GuoBiao conversions. To convert between ET Big5 and HKU Big5, use et2hku, available via anonymous ftp from cs.purdue.edu [128.10.2.1] in the pub/ygz/utils directory. ---------------------------- 4. File naming conventions. ---------------------------- The names of files containing poems should indicate the poet and, if a non-GuoBiao Chinese file, the coding standard used (et, hku, etc.). Since one goal of the list is to assemble a database of Chinese poems, there is a preference for using one uuencoded file per poem, and to number a poet's poems sequentially as they are posted to the list. For example, the first person to post a poem by Li Bai might name the file libai.001 (or, if an ET Big5 file, libai.001.et). The next person would call his or her file libai.002, and so forth. Of course latecomers or those with short memories will not know how many poems by a given poet have already been posted to the list. In that case, add your name or id after the poet's name and start your own numbering system. For example, if your computer id were nw1, and you wanted to post a Li Bai poem but didn't know the number of the last Li Bai poem posted, you should name yours libai_nw1.001. Indexes of poems previously sent to the list will be distributed periodically. If you want to post a large number of files at once (say, more than three or four poems), we suggest you use the tar file archiving program. Unix users can get instructions for tar by typing "man tar" at their system prompt, or by consulting their system administrators. There is a PC version of tar available via anonymous ftp at procyon.cis.ksu.edu [129.130.10.80] in the pub/PC/UnixLike directory. Try to use as reliable a source as possible when typing poems, and identify it in your message. As a general rule, try to use the following format: line 1: AUTHOR TITLE ; (Poet's name, a space, then title of poem) line 2: ; (Leave a blank line before starting text) line 3: ...text... ; (Text of poem) ... .... Add your name and/or email id at the end, if you wish. ------------------- 5. Still confused? ------------------- If you have any questions, can't get software working, or whatever, try sending mail to the list. Someone is likely to know the answer, or at least offer sympathy.

Any teacher who has ever taught a creative writing course (poetry or fiction) and any student who has ever taken such a course should feel welcome to participate. The list is open and unmoderated, so discussion can range as far and wide as members want, from ethereal theory to classroom strategies and anything remotely tangential to either. However, this list is not intended to be a place for sharing creative work. Not that such sharing is in any way forbidden, but there are other lists designed for that purpose.

Sincerely przemek DOROTHYL on LISTSERV@KENTVM or LISTSERV@KENTVM.KENT.EDU [Last Updated 12-October-1991] DOROTHYL is a discussion and idea list for lovers of the mystery genre. It was concocted by a group of women librarians at a July 1991 Washington, D.C. meeting of the Association of Research Libraries and named in in honor of one of the great women mystery writers of the century. Agatha Christie and Josephine Tey were strong contenders, but Dorothy L. Sayers had a LISTSERV-blessed middle initial. Although there was serious discussion about limiting DOROTHY to women particpants and it would be entertaining to identify impostors (no doubt men would sneak on with anonymous ID@node, to join in DOROTHY's energizing discussion), the organizers opted for the widest possible number of serious participants. Tenets of DOROTHYL: -Everyone is welcome. -Those who wish to adopt the name of a mystery character, may use that name in postings. -The participants WILL have fun. Some suitable subjects for posting are: -Announcements of forthcoming books and previews. -Reviews, criticisms, comments, and appreciations of mysteries (books, plays, films). -Great mystery bookshops. -Awards. It can take a long time to learn which are the annual prizewinners. DOROTHYL may consider posting these as files. -Mysterious events. Mystery travels, mystery walks in cities, mysteries of life. -Ideas for happenings, perhaps an evening of mystery readings at ALA or ARL or MLA? -An electronic mystery, with clues (apples, perhaps red ones of the Macintosh variety?), villains (the mailer-Daemon?), red herrings (byte-marks?), heroines, detectives -- the potential is as unlimited as the world of networking. At the outset, the list will be un-moderated (self-monitored). Everyone who joins ought to consider contacting her (his) favorite mystery author and inviting her (him) to join this list. Since many mystery writers are academics, this could be a very fruitful and exciting chase.

DTP-L on LISTSERV@YALEVM.BITNET Desktop Publishing Digest Many users throughout internet, bitnet & elsewhere have expressed an interest in starting a digest to exchange information on desktop publishing in general, and on the subtleties and complexities of specific programs, including, but not limited to, Quark Xpress, Aldus PageMaker and FreeHand, Adobe Illustrator, Ventura Publisher, Framemaker, Interleaf, and Fontographer. Please note that these would not be system level discussions; they would deal more at the user-level. Also, technical discussions of PostScript for its own sake (and not how it related to these programs) would be covered in the PostScript forums and digests. Caveats aside, every user of these and other programs has discovered some excellent work-arounds, irritating problems, or elegant solutions. These could be shared for the benefit of all. I have also set up contacts with Quark, and I'm receiving quick shipment of Zappers and other software to be available to list members and the net_community at large. Hopefully similiar agreements can be made with other publishers. Some emphasis will be placed on use of service bureaus and medium- to high-resolution output devices (Linotronics, Agfas, Varitypers, etc.) without becoming overly technical. The list organizers (myself and Jeff Wasilko of RIT) also have conventional typesetting backgrounds, and we manage service bureaus at our schools. The list is called DTP-L. To subscribe, execute the CMS command: tell listserv@yalevm subscribe DTP-L firstname middleinit lastname Or send a mail to listserv@yalevm (or listserv@yalevm.ycc.yale.edu) which contains as its first & only line (substitute your name for firstname, etc.): subscribe dtp-l firstname middleinit lastname Because this is a digest, items of interest should NOT be sent to the listserver for efficiency's sake. Send submissions to: glenn_fleishman@yccatsmtp.ycc.yale.edu or to jjwcmp@ultb.isc.rit.edu These submissions will be edited & compiled. When collected items reach 30K they will be distributed through the listserver mechanism to all subscribers. If you cannot subscribe through conventional means, please contact Glenn Fleishman at the above address. Put "subscription" in the subject field of the memo.

Its purpose is to help these countries in their transition to market economies. It will link business persons in Western Europe-Asia-North America with those in Eastern Europe. E-EUROPE allows transmission of electronic mail and files worldwide (via Bitnet, Internet, Junet, Compuserve, MCI Mail, etc.). Subscription is free and open to anyone who can access a BITNET or INTERNET electronic address. While the E-EUROPE is located on a mainframe computer, anyone with a personal computer and modem may gain access. E-EUROPE provides information exchange via e-mail and also provides document/file transfers between E-EUROPE subscribers. A subscriber is anyone who has requested an E-EUROPE subscription by sending a message to the communications management software (called LISTSERV) located on the mainframe computer at North Carolina State University, USA. A subscriber also has the option of concealing their name and node address from public scrutiny. A. Present Activities of E-EUROPE 1. E-mail Once a user subscribes to E-EUROPE, (s)he may send mail to the list for distribution to all its members. All members of the mailing list will receive a copy of each piece of mail sent to the list. All of the mail that is received and redistributed by the list is cataloged and stored in a database that can be searched or retrieved by individuals with access to E-EUROPE. In order to prevent "rapid-fire" random e-mail transmissions, all messages are relayed to the E-EUROPE editor for a once-daily (maximum) batch mail release. In addition, each subscriber may disable the automatic E-EUROPE e-mail transmission to their site and download logfiles of each month's traffic. 2. E-EUROPE Filelist Datafiles will be available for downloading to subscribers. The objective is to develop a clearinghouse of information on doing business with Eastern European countries. 3. Potential/Future Activities a) electronic business newsletter b) electronic user directories c) bibliographies of current business research d) seeking interested parties for business activities (exports, imports, or direct investment) e) job bank B. Subscription and File Downloads: To subscribe to E-EUROPE send E-mail to LISTSERV@NCSUVM or LISTSERV@NCSUVM.CC.NCSU.EDU with the body containing the command SUB E-EUROPE yourfirstname yourlastname To download a file, send E-mail to the LISTSERV using the GET command.

The newsletter is the successor to the print publication, "Hebrew Users Group Newsletter" which was edited by Jack Love, and emanated from the Berkeley Hillel Foundation through 1989. This incarnation is electronic-only, and is mandated, like the original, to cover all things relating to use of Hebrew, Yiddish, Judesmo, and Aramaic on computers. It is released as time permits and information demands, currently every 1-2 weeks. This newsletter is dedicated to the proposition that computers, to be useful, must be usable to people working in all languages, at the convenience of those users. In that spirit, we print all questions pertaining to use of the Hebrew alphabet on computers and answer all those that we can. We encourage discussion on all levels of computer facility--from new users looking for software or Hebrew-related resources (educational, graphic, or otherwise), to discussions by developers on how the software should work (when it works :-)). We also do our best to report on new software (or updates) of interest and to serve as a general news source to the field. The list is maintained via LISTSERV and subscription may be obtained by the usual mechanism of sending the command SUB E-HUG yourfirstname yourlastname to LISTSERV@DARTCMS1. Questions may be directed to the list owner, Ari Davidow . Archives may be obtained from LISTSERV@DARTCMS1 using the SEND command and currently consist of E-HUG 91-00001 to E-HUG 91-00011.

Statistical literacy has become a social imperative if we are to share a responsible, thoughtful citizenry. As people involved or interested in the instruction of statistics, we have a precious asset in our collective knowledge. This list exists because WE CAN LEARN FROM EACH OTHER: What techniques are we using in statistical instruction? What strategies should we use to prepare our students for the future? What part do/should computers play in instruction? (are computers a new tool or a new subject for students?) What assets can we share among ourselves? (public-domain software programs, datasets, etc.) There are many individuals working in these areas, each with knowledge valuable to the others. This list attempts to bring together every teacher, student, researcher, and specialist interested in improving statistical instruction. You are encouraged to: * Submit summaries of or commentary on published articles and books which address problems or solutions in teaching statistics * Share the results of your experiments with teaching statistics * Ask thought-provoking questions about the future of statistics education and the environments in which it takes place. * Recruit interested parties to this list, regardless of their status in education, industry or government.

"CALL FOR STANDARDIZATION OF GREEK TeX AND CREATION OF A GREEK TeX GROUP") has been opened, at ELLHNIKA@DHDURZ1 You can subscribe by sending the usual SUBSCRIBE ELLHNIKA yourfirstname yourlastname to LISTSERV@DHDURZ1. Please note that messages to the list should be send to the list adress ELLHNIKA@DHDURZ1 and not to the LISTSERV. Languages of the list are English and Greek (Modern please!!) It would be appreciated if you use Silvio Levy's transliteration for Greek, as long as no other transliteration has been fixed. If you have to use a different one, please precise the corres- pondences at top of the message. The list is intended for linguists of any origin having to typeset ancient Greek, as well as for people using Greek as their everyday's language. It is quite a dilemma for me to encourage - the former to participate in English and discuss the TeXnical problems of ancient Greek - the latter to participate in Greek and in this way get used to the transliterated expression of the language; as I said in the "CALL", a certain effort must be taken to bypass the handicap of having a different alphabet, this list should serve as a starting point inside the TeX world. So there are two languages and two directions to take. Let's find a compromise based on the spirit of cooperation! (and if a scholar decides to learn Modern Greek for breaking this Gordian knot, I guarantee him that he won't be dissapointed!).

The list is intended to provide the opportunity for software engineers and those interested in software engineering to discuss ethical concerns of the discipline. As the discipline is rapidly advancing new ethical issues arise in the practice of software engineering. The group might be expected to discuss things like the move by some state governments toward licensing software engineers, establishing a code of ethics, or articulating a set of principles which guide professional practice. The list can also be used as a place to announce conferences, and publications and issue call for papers.

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).

The discussions are intended to include latest trends, regulatory actions, and, of course, a lively exchange of ideas and concerns. The explicit purpose of FedTax-L is to provide quick and timely interchange between subscribers, to provide a forum where support may be available for interesting questions which may not be addressed locally (or may desire a "second opinion"), and to discuss current and potential taxation issues. It is also the hope of the owner of the list to develop databases of at least late breaking tax matters for access to all subscribers. Archives of FedTax-L postings will be available for reference. As is the case on all unmoderated lists, the discussion and topics are only limited by the participation and interest of its subscribers. Subscribers are welcome to take an active role by posting to FedTax-L or an inactive role by monitoring the list. This group is now gatewayed to the usenet group misc.taxes.

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.

Kovacs Green on ListServ@IndyCMS (BITNET/CREN) Green movements study list or ListServ@IndyCMS.IUPUI.Edu (Internet) Green is dedicated to the study of Green movements worldwide and their influence on public opinion and public policy. The scope of the list's discussion is global: all Green movements, at every level, are of interest to this list. Of special interest to the list is the emerging Green movement in the US -- how it is being organized by various competing elements, how it is being influenced by other Green movements worldwide (especially European), how it is interacting with those movements, and how it is influencing American public opinion and public policy on the local, state, regional and national level. It is emphasized that the purpose of Green is the *study* of Green movements. Green is *not* a tool for organizing or promoting those movements. In keeping with policies defining the appropriate use of academic networks (which often include prohibitions on explicit political activism), adherence to the stated purpose of this list is strictly monitored and enforced. Green is open to all persons interested in the study of Green movements worldwide.

Being on the list will provide this service. 2) to create of a catalog of accessable catalogs (using Art St. George's Library catalog catalog as a model) to facilitate electronic access to graduate school information. I will gather information here unless there is another volunteer out there. 3) to identify useful and/or neccessary information that would be used in a graduate school information database with an eye toward network standard tags and a single engine queriable distributed database of graduate school information (probably SQL for example) that would allow students and advisors to search several catalogs maintained at different universities. Point three is very blue sky for the moment, but if we keep it in mind, the technology exists and the end is actually achievable. Other points will, I'm sure, arise.

This list is being run out of the Open Computing Facility at UC Berkeley. This is a cluster of 18 Apollo Domain DN3500 workstations run by a completely student staff. This cluster is not the most stable one in the world but mail here generally is. (Note: I said GENERALLY.) From time to time this cluster might disappear off of the net and your submission might not make it through. But these occurrences should be even less frequent now with the addition of another network gateway. So if your submission to the list bounce, try again later and the list should be back up. Archives: ============ From time to time there will be informational postings from Pete or other developers about their products related to the GS/DSP, these messages will be archived and if you want send a message to the list coordinator and he will forward to you the requested file. Archive Listing: ==================== This will be listing which files are availble.

Patton HELPNET%NDSUVM1.BITNET@VM1.NODAK.EDU HELPNET is intended as a working list for those interested in the roles global computer networks might play in times of disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, etc. Archives are kept for this list. Send LISTSERV the commands INDEX HELPNET and INFO DATABASE for more information (Note: The commands are sent to LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 (BitNet) or LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU and NOT to the list). They are also available via ANONYMOUS FTP to VM1.NODAK.EDU (134.129.111.1). Enter CD HELPNET after connecting. Anyone may subscribe to the HELPNET list; however, the list is set up so that only subscribers may send mail to the list (to avoid accidental SUBSCRIBE commands). You may subscribe to HELPNET by sending mail to LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 (BitNet) or LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU with the body/text of the message containing the command: SUB HELPNET your_full_name where "your_full_name" is your real name, not your loginid. If BitNet users wish to be able to send messages to the list but read it through some other means (eg. GRAND), then ALSO include the command: SET HELPNET NOMAIL which will allow you to contribute but not send you redundant mail. Coordinator: Marty Hoag HELP-NET on LISTSERV@TEMPLEVM.Bitnet HELPSERV has evolved. Helpserv and all its component files have been integrated (finally!) into LISTSERV at TEMPLEVM. In addition, there has been the addition of a mailing list, and a NAME CHANGE. Introducing HELP-NET at TEMPLEVM. Help-Net is a discussion list for the purposes of solving user problems with utilities and software related to the Internet and Bitnet networks. In addition, LISTSERV at TEMPLEVM maintains a set of low-level help files intended to help the beginning user acclimatize himself to the network systems. Both novice and experienced users are encouraged to join the discussion list, either to ask questions, or to answer them. Questions on almost any network topic are encouraged, however there are a few ground rules we ask that you observe. 1. Please do not post where can I find this game, or that specific gif file, etc. There are several lists that deal specifically with those topics. The question, Where would I find a list that could tell me where to get ??? on the other hand is quite acceptable. 2. Please do not post any messages that relate to the illegal traffic of copyrighted material. 3. Feel free to redistribute the help files freely. We do ask that you identify the source of any materials. 4. We gratefully accept both topics for additional Help sheets, and submissions to be placed on the server. For more information about submitting, get the file SUBMIT INFO from the server. See below for instructions. Below are some brief instructions on how to access the HELP-NET list. 1. Signing on to the list. Send the following command to LISTSERV at TEMPLEVM, as either an interactive message or the body of a mail message: SUB HELP-NET (Your Name) 2. Getting a file from the list. Send the following command to LISTSERV at TEMPLEVM: GET HELP-NET FILELIST Choose which files you want and send a get command for each of those files. If you have a problem, ask the list. It's what we are here for. Please note that you must be a list subscriber to access files. 3. Posting a message on the list. - Send your mail message to HELP-NET at TEMPLEVM. Your mail will be forwarded to all list members, and you will be replied to. I thank everyone for their support and interest and hope that I and the HELP-NET will continue to be of service to everyone in the network community. If you have any questions regarding Help-Net, please direct them to V4078 at TEMPLEVM. Again, thank you for your support.

It is also intended as a forum for the HL-7 Working Group members who are participating in the specification of the interface protocol. Health Level Seven is an application protocol for electronic data exchange in health care environments. It is called level seven because the protocol assumes the underlying network support of levels one through six of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) network model of the International Standards Organization (ISO). The HL-7 standard is specified at the seventh level, which is the application level. This HL-7 (Health Level Seven) Conference is *not* an offical part of the HL-7 Working Group and Executive Committee. Official inquiries concerning HL-7 (Health Level Seven) should be sent directly to: Health Level Seven, P.O. Box 66111, Chicago, IL 60666-9998, fax: (708) 616-9099. In accordance with current CREN regulations, commercial activity (such as the selling of software) will be prohibited. Subscription to this conference is open to *anyone* interested. You may subscribe by sending an e-mail message to: HL-7-REQUEST@VIRGINIA.EDU if your account is on the internet, with the following request as the text of the message. SUB HL-7 YourFirstname YourLastname This, the 'SUB ...,' must be part of the message; the subject line will be ignored. Remember two simple rules-of-thumb: If it's a request (SUBscribe, UNSUBscribe), send it to the list requester (HL-7-REQUEST@VIRGINIA.EDU). If it's a message for general distribution to the members of the list, send it to the list (HL-7@VIRGINIA.EDU). The list is supported by the University of Virginia Medical Center Computing.

The HOCKEY-L list is for the discussion of collegiate ice hockey, including scores, team info, schedules, etc. allowing fans to become more involved and knowledgeable about the game. The list resides at the University of Maine System MAINE.MAINE.EDU cpu. When the owner posts a digest to the list, LISTSERV distributes a copy to everyone subscribed. An archive of the digest is also created on a disk of LISTSERV. Each digest posting is a separate file on that disk. HOCKEY-D does not accept postings; it merely distributes a periodic collection of postings from another list, HOCKEY-L. Subscription information for HOCKEY-D or HOCKEY-L may be requested from Wayne Smith at WTS@MAINE.MAINE.EDU. Send a request to sign off the list or ask for an archived file to LISTSERV@MAINE.MAINE.EDU as described below.

For those interested in finding a host when they are traveling in difference countries, this new database will satisfy this interest. I encourage everyone to subscribe to HOSPEX now. To subscribe just send a mailpiece stating that you want to join to HOSPEX@PLEARN. This will be automatically forwarded to one of the owners. Of course issuing standard 'SUB HOSPEX your full name' to LISTSERV@PLEARN will do as well. You'll be sent a "fill in" form to be filled and returned. This subsribtion procedure is manual, so it may take few days sometimes. We are looking for lots of users outside the U.S. to subscribe (and U.S. users too, but now there is many more U.S. users than an other nation). Eventually, those who subscribe will be asked to send us a form which describes something about yourself, the type of accommodations you have, languages you speak, restrictions you want, etc. When a file exists with this information on you, those traveling can look through all the files for the countries in which they will be traveling to find a host that seems interesting them. So, this information you must eventually send to one of HOSPEX owners is important. HSPNET-L on LISTSERV@ALBNYDH2 Hospital Computer Network Discussion Group and Data Base HSPNET-L provides consultation, a monthly digest, and a data base of hospital networks. It emphasizes restoration and extension of consulting for rural hospitals by connection to major medical centers. All aspects (hardware, software, staff training, confidentiality of patient data, etc) will be covered. Particular attention will be paid to existing networks both in USA and abroad. Transmission of both text and medical image data will be considered via both land- lines and satellite. The cost-effectiveness of such distance-consulting will be reviewed in the light of declining rural hospital acute-care capabilities, and the economic benefits of keeping the patient in the rural area.

From: JP2@nihcu.bitnet Jane Peterson National Center for Human Genome Research 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. It currently consists of nearly 300 members in 13 countries in North America, Europe, and the Near East. Relevant topics are technical questions about hardware and software, specific problems in humanistic scholarship, and both the administrative difficulties and philosophical issues arising from the application of computing to the humanities; calls for papers, bibliographies, and reports of lasting interest are also welcome. Interested individuals should send a note together with a brief biography to the Coordinator in the following format: *Family-name, Given-names Title, mailing address(es), telephone number(s). Body of biography. This should not be a c.v. and need not be very detailed but should cover the full range of your professional activities and interests, both present and past.

In a broad sense, this includes virtually anything dealing with medicine in relation to diving and HyperBaric Medicine. The explicit purpose of HYPBAR-L is to provide timely interchange between subscribers, to provide a forum where interesting questions can be addressed within the context of interactive exchange between many individuals, to discuss the evolution and application of HyperBaric and Diving Medicine, to announce professional meetings, calls for papers, and any additional information that would be of interest. As is the case on all unmoderated lists, the discussion and topics are only limited by the participation and interest of its subscribers. Subscribers are welcome to take an active role by posting and/or an inactive role by monitoring the list. Although not necessary for participation, it shall be assumed that all subscribers are basically familiar with the medical jargon that is used on this list. To subscribe to HYPBAR-L, please send mail or file to LISTSERV@TECHNION or listserv@technion.technion.ac.il and place in the body of the text the line SUB HYPBAR-L .

We will be glad if you decide to join us. Some information of the list: Artificial Intelligence list of ITESM. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is a very powerful tool, and still very new. Some Thoughts about this topic are very dissapointed, the reason of it, it is that AI is a unknown area for most of the people, or it seems to them that ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is more theorical than practical. The PURPOSE of this list is to present to the people, there is a practical use for this science, and its technics are very useful for the understanding of the knowledge. Letting knowing to the people how we are developing this area in Mexico, and other countries. This will be done in the following way: 1) Answering questions (doubts about a topic from a class, project,etc) 2) Presenting and discussion of interviews from experts 3) Presenting and discussion projects around the world 4) Sending out a periodical general information about a topic 5) Sending out information about simposiums, meetings, bibliography, etc. This project is administrated by the AI Invetigation Center in Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM) in Monterrey, N.L. The people who are interesting about subscribing this list must fill these requirements: 1: Be a student, investigator, profesor who are interesting and have some knowledge of this area 2: Must fill the registration form, please ask for it to owners. To Be Added to the List Please Contact one of the Owners: PL500368@TECMTYVM.BITNET (Juana Maria Gomez Puertos) PL157961@TECMTYVM.BITNET (Fernando Careaga Sanchez) Note: There is an old "Arpanet" to BITNET redistribution list called AILIST at our site. However, it has been dormant for several years and would not emphasize work in Latin America as this list would.

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, etc., should be sent to info-alliant-request@MCS.ANL.GOV Coordinator: Gene Rackow Info-Andrew@ANDREW.CMU.EDU An informal mailing list intended for general discussion by recipients of the Andrew distribution (and implementors of Andrew). 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. Coordinator: Adam Stoller Info-Andrew-Bugs@ANDREW.CMU.EDU Mailing list for reporting bugs/problems with the Andrew distribution. (See Info-Andrew entry for more detailed description on what "Andrew" is). Official responses to queries and bug reports will be posted to this mailing list. 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. NOTE: All subscription requests will also be added to the Info-Andrew distribution list unless specifically requested not to.

It is for the discussion of most topics, including hardware, systems and applications programming, networking, and connectivity. IBM and third-party solutions may be discussed. The list is primarily aimed at system administrators, managers, and programmers. Because this is an Internet/BITNET list, the use of AS/400 systems in research and education, and in the context of cooperative interational networks, is certain to be of interest. It is hoped that beginners will turn to the list for answers to their questions, and that more experienced participants will provide gentle answers. These topics should be avoided, as they will get in the way of our discussions of how to solve real problems with the systems we have: (1) the merits of IBM AS/400 products relative to their competitors, (2) product announcements, and (3) IBM bashing. (Other topics may be added to this list in the future.) Owner: Info-AS400-Request@Joiner.COM (IBM AS/400 Discussion Coordinator) Arnold@Joiner.COM (Stephen L. Arnold) Notebooks: No Notes: 1. This list is unmoderated. Submissions to Info-AS400@Joiner (Info-AS400@Joiner.COM) are immediately forwarded to the list. 2. This is not a LISTSERV list and requests for list changes are handled manually by the coordinator. Send requests to update the list to Info-AS400-Request@Joiner.COM. The list is a PMDF distribution list hosted on a VAX system running VMS. 3. Contributions sent to this list are manually archived. Requests for old postings will be answered by the coordinator. Send such requests to Info-AS400-Request@Joiner.COM. If there is sufficient demand for auto- matic subscription and archive service, I'll explore ways to provide it.

Coordinator: Keith Petersen info-databasix@blx-a.prime.com [Last Updated 28-January-1992] Info-databasix is an unmoderated mailing list for the discussion of all software products from Databasix Information Systems. Applications like: - ADLIB database (not the music pc card) - ADCIRC public library application - OPAC database application Topics can include (but are not limited to): - Hints about using and designing applications - Discussions about desired features, changes etc. - Problems, bugs etc. - Questions about all related subjects To subscribe to the list send a mail message to: listserver@blx-a.prime.com The message should contain one line with: sub info-databasix "your full name" Contributions to the list should be sent to: info-databasix@blx-a.prime.com Archives are not available yet. Coordinator: Ronald van der Meer INFO-DEC-MICRO@ANDREW.CMU.EDU A forum for users to ask questions and share answers about various topics concerning DEC Microcomputers (i.e. Rainbow 100, MicroVax, Professional 350/380). All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Info-DEC-Micro-Request@ANDREW.CMU.EDU. Coordinator: Rob Locke INFO-DSEE@APOLLO.COM Discussion of DSEE, a software engineering environment from Apollo in wide-spread use by tens of thousands of programmers, on projects up to 5,000,000 lines of code. 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. Coordinator: David Lubkin INFO-ENCORE@UB.D.UMN.EDU Mailing list for users of the Encore MultiMax computers and Encore Annex terminal servers. All requests to be added or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-ENCORE-REQUEST@UB.D.UMN.EDU. 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. Moderator: Barry Shein INFO-GCG%UTORONTO.BITNET@VM1.NODAK.EDU Mailing list covering topics in computer aided molecular biology and of particular interest to users and managers of the "Genetics Computer Group" software from the University of Wisconsin. BitNet users can subscribe by sending the following command to LISTSERV@ UTORONTO: SUBscribe INFO-GCG your_full_name where your_full_name is your real name, not your loginid. Non-BitNet users can subscribe by sending the above command in the body of a message to LISTSERV%UTORONTO.BITNET@VM1.NODAK.EDU. Coordinator: John Cargill info-gnu-msdos@wugate.wustl.edu -- The GNUISH MsDos Development Group The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is not directly interested in integrating or maintaining ports of GNU software to MS-DOS, because of limited resources. These activities take time away from finishing a complete standalone GNU, which FSF and many in the GNU Project considers much more important. There is a mailing list to discuss these MsDos ports of GNU software. It is called info-gnu-msdos@wugate.wustl.edu. It is managed by an experimental Unix-based listserv program. Send the command: add info-gnu-msdos to: listserv@wugate.wustl.edu to become subscribed to the list. Send a message containing only 'help' to get more information about the listserv. Do not send these commands to info-gnu-msdos. They should go to the listserv address. The list is not moderated, not digestified, and open to subscription by anyone. Problems with the mailing list should be directed to: info-gnu-msdos-request@wugate.wustl.edu To get more information about the GNUISH project, look at the file on wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) in the mirrors/msdos/gnuish directory called '00msdos.gnu'. david@wubios.wustl.edu ^ Mr. David J.

INFO-GRAPHICS@ADS.COM Discussion of Graphics hardware, software, and any topic related to graphics. Basically a free-wheeling exchange of information, much like INFO-CPM. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-GRAPHICS-REQUEST@ADS.COM. Coordinator: Andy Cromarty INFO-HAMS@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL A mailing list for Amateur Radio (not CB) operators. INFO-HAMS is gatewayed to/from Usenet's rec.ham-radio so Usenet people will get it there. 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 HAMS-ARCHIV.TXT. The archives are stored in directory: PD2: Archive files are available via ANONYMOUS FTP for those with TCP/IP access to the Internet. Phil Howard KA9WGN also archives the INFO-HAMS mailing list on BITNET node UIUCVMD using the LISTSERV mailing list server (subscriptions disabled for this). Users on BITNET may request files to be sent to them by sending commands, either by interactive message or in the message body by mail, to the address LISTSERV@UIUCVMD. The command to see the current online list of files is: INDEX INFOHAMS (Note there is no dash "-"). To obtain volume 88 issue 73, send the command: GET INFOHAMS 88-00073 INFO-HAMS is a digested mailing list, and each digest is available separately from LISTSERV@UIUCVMD. All ARPANet/MilNet requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-HAMS-REQUEST@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL. Coordinator: Keith Petersen INFO-HIGH-AUDIO@CSD4.csd.uwm.edu This list is for the exchange of subjective comments about high end audio equipment and modifications performed to high end pieces. Techniques used to modify equipment especially, but not limited to, vacuum tube electronics are exchanged. Some comments may be subjective or intuitive and may not yet have a measurable basis. Other topics of discussion include turntables, arms and cartridges; preamplifiers, headamps and cartridge matching; speakers, amplifiers and matching; placement of speakers, and room treatments. Any comments that prevent an open exchange of ideas and techniques are not encouraged. Archives of projects will be maintained on CSD4.csd.uwm.edu and available via anonymous FTP. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-HIGH-AUDIO-REQUEST@CSD4.csd.uwm.edu Cordinator: Thomas Krueger INFO-HZ100@TOPS20.RADC.AF.MIL INFO-HZ100 is a forum for discussion concerning topics related to the Zenith Z-100 (Heath H-100) family of professional desktop computers.

To make contributions to the list, BitNet subscribers should send mail to the ARPANet list name, NOT to the BITNET list name. Coordinator: Gern Info-IBMPC@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL Info-IBMPC is a forum for technical discussion of the IBM Personal Computer and compatible micro-computers, providing a way for interested members of the Internet community to compare notes, ask questions, and share insights of a technical nature about these machines. While it is not primarily a consumer's guide to the IBM PC, the digest may also be useful for that purpose. Messages are collected, edited into digests and distributed as the volume of mail dictates (generally twice a week). All messages regarding hardware for IBM PCs, PC and compatibles and software are welcomed; messages on other topics will not be run. In addition, two topics are taboo and are routinely edited out: (1) self promotion of products for sale, and (2) anything about copy protection. An archive of back issues and a program library are available to those with FTP access (essentially anyone on the Internet). Digests are archived at WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL in PD2: in format. Digests from September 1982 through the current issue are available by ANONYMOUS FTP login. A library of free software in binary and source code form is maintained at SIMTEL20 in directory PD1: and PD2:. A list of all MS-DOS programs available from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL is contained in PD1:FILES.IDX. Donations of source code are welcomed. Donated programs must be truly free and public domain, with no fee or contribution required or requested, and no license agreement. To donate a program to the library, send a description of the program along with a copy of the source code to INFO-IBMPC-REQUEST@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL. Files may be FTP'ed by logging in to the SIMTEL20 FTP server with username ANONYMOUS, password GUEST. (Although GUEST is a perfectly good password, a password of is preferred.)

Coordinator: Chuck Kennedy INFO-KERMIT@WATSUN.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU Kermit is a file transfer protocol developed at Columbia University in New York City, USA, for use primarily between micros and mainframes over asynchronous serial connections, dialed or direct, over public data networks, etc. Kermit programs that implement this protocol can transfer textual as well as binary files over both 7-bit and 8-bit communication links, singly or in groups. As of this writing (May 1989), Kermit programs are available for nearly 350 different computers and operating systems. The Info-Kermit mailing list is a digest intended for people who maintain or install Kermit at their sites, or who are (thinking about) working on a new implementation, or who have bugs and/or fixes to report, or who are interested in discussing the protocol, and also for Kermit users. The digest is available on Internet, CSNET, MAILNET, BITNET, EARN, USENET, CCNET, DEC EASYNET, and any other network gatewayed to the Internet. Info-Kermit archives are collected in kermit/e/imail.*, one file (paginaged and indexed) per volume, generally 2 volumes per year. Other Kermit files are also available via both Internet and BitNet/EARN and by mail order. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Info-Kermit-Request@WATSON.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU or to KERMIT@CUVMA.BITNET.

Moderator: Christine M. Gianone KERMIT@CUVMA.BITNET info-labview@pica.army.mil Info-LabVIEW is an internet mailing list for the discussion of the use of National Instruments' LabVIEW package for the Apple Macintosh. ===================== LabVIEW is a graphical software system for developing high-performance scientific and engineering applications. LabVIEW acquires data from IEEE-488 (GPIB), RS-232/422 and modular (VXI or CAMAC) instruments and plug-in data acquisition boards. LabVIEW programs, called "virtual instruments" (VIs), are created using icons, instead of conventional, text-based code. A VI consists of a front panel and a block diagram. The front panel (with knobs, switches, graphs, and so on) is the user interface. The block diagram, which is the executable code, consists of icons that operate on data connected by wires that pass data between them. [I swiped this description from National Instruments' promotional blurbs] ===================== The list is being run as a simple redistribution of all submitted messages. To post to the list, send your mail to . All administrative issues should go to . FTP archives are on caesar.pica.army.mil [129.139.160.200], /pub/labview.

Coordinator: Mike Muuss INFO-M2%DB0TUI11.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU INFO-M2%UCF1VM.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU A discussion list for the Modula-2 programming language. Modula-2 is a language by Niklaus Wirth which extends the Pascal foundation by providing an updated statement syntax (generalized LOOP, EXIT, RETURN, no GOTO), separate compilation with a module (compilation unit) broken into specification and implementation parts with importing and exporting of objects, controlled machine level access, and concurrent programming and coroutines. Modula-2 has most of the power of Ada but is small enough that excellent full implementations exist for CP/M 80. Contributions may be sent to INFO-M2@ucf1vm.Bitnet (from the US) or to INFO-M2@db0tui11.Bitnet (from Europe); these are both entry points for the same list. Currrent messages are archived on host WSMR.SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL in file MODULA-2-ARCHIV.TXT Older messages are in file MODULA-2.ARCHIV.ymmdd SIMTEL20 supports ANONYMOUS login for those with FTP access to the Internet.

Coordinators: Jim Ennis Thomas Habernoll INFO-MAC@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU Network interest group for the Apple Macintosh computer. This list is SUMEX's contribution to the community of research and instructional developers and users of the Macintosh; all submissions of messages and programs in this spirit are welcome. For those sites with FTP access to SUMEX-AIM, archives for INFO-MAC are kept under {SUMEX-AIM}/info-mac/digest/infomacvM-NNN, where M is the volume number and NNN is the digest number. These numbers have little to no bearing on reality. Programs submitted to the bulletin board, along with documentation files and other references are also stored in the info-mac directory. With FTP access as user "anonymous" and any password, you can bring these files over to your host and download them to your Macintosh. "Usenet" and some of the other networks that copy info-mac will see sources redistributed at the time they are mentioned in the digest distributions. Messages to INFO-MAC@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU are scanned to filter out any list requests, questions previously answered, pure speculation or opinion, or message obviously not in line with the stated purpose of the list. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-MAC-REQUEST@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU. Due to the size of this list, INFO-MAC only sends to relays, i.e. addresses such as INFOMAC@yoursite.whatever which then distribute it locally. Please check with your local gurus to gain access your local relay. Moderators: Bill Lipa Jon Pugh INFO-MACH@CS.CMU.EDU This mailing list exists for the purpose of discussing issues related to the Mach operating system. Mach is a UNIX BSD4.3 compatible operating system based on a message passing architecture that incorporates such features as multiprocessor support, lightweight tasking, external pagers, and a machine independent vm system. Mach is being developed at Carnegie Mellon University. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-MACH-REQUEST@CS.CMU.EDU. Coordinator: Doug Orr INFO-MICRO@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL Information/discussion list on the general interest topic of microcomputers. Questions/discussions on a particular Operating System, such as CP/M, should be addressed to the specific list if one already exists (such as INFO-CPM@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL for this example). 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 INFO-MICRO-ARCHIV.TXT. The archives are stored in directory: PD2: Archive files are available via ANONYMOUS FTP for those with TCP/IP access to the Internet. Many megabytes of public domain software are kept in the program archives. For a description of these archives, request a copy of the "archive blurb" from INFO-MICRO-REQUEST@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL.

The list is gatewayed to the BitNet list MINIX-L@NDSUVM1 and the USENET newsgroup comp.os.minix. Currently, all list distribution is handled from the BitNet listserver, which is also on the Internet as VM1.NODAK.EDU. Archives are kept on VM1.NODAK.EDU in the directory "listserv" in files: MINIX-L.LOGyymmw where "yy" is the year, "mm" is the numeric month and "w" is an alphabetic character from A to E indicating what week of the month. Several months of log files are kept online, the number depending on available disk space. Archives are also available from a number of other sources, including a mail server. You can obtain information on these sites by sending mail to LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU with text/body: GET MINIX INFO MINIX and you will be sent the "Minix Information Sheet", which also contains other general information on MINIX, such as what versions exist and how to order them from Prentice-Hall and a list of machines it is known to work with. To subscribe to the list, send the following command to LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU in the text/body of a message: SIGNUP MINIX-L Your_Full_Name where "Your_Full_Name" is your real name, not your login Id.

Coordinator: Glen Overby Info-MM@COLUMBIA.EDU BUG-MM@COLUMBIA.EDU The Info-MM/Bug-MM mailing lists are a way for Columbia-MM maintainers and sites running MM to communicate, distribute patches, get bug reports, send comments, suggestions, enhancements, etc. Columbia-MM is a UNIX mail manager program based on the TOPS-20 MM program running on Digital Equipment Corporation DEC20 systems. Columbia-MM is written in C using the CCMD (TOPS-20 COMND Jsys in C) package developed at Columbia University, and thus has command/keyword/filename completion (on ESC or TAB), context sensitive help on "?", command history and command line editing. MM is compatible with various other mail programs, and has hooks for adding more in the future. MM has support for several mail file formats: "mtxt" which is the MM-20 format on DEC20's, "mbox" used by UNIX mail(1), and "babyl" the format of Gnuemacs rmail mode. Support for mh(1), pop (post office protocol), and usenet news are planned for the future. Sources are available via ANONYMOUS FTP from CUNIXF.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU [128.59.40.130] in the mm directory.

Coordinator: Keith Petersen INFO-NETS@THINK.COM Mailing list for general discussion of networks, focusing on inter-network connectivity. Questions about connections to particular sites are very common, as are discussions of new networks in the US and abroad. New archives are maintained on THINK.COM, and can be accessed via anonymous ftp as mail/info-nets.archives*. Archives cannot be mailed, but they are available on BITNIC for Bitnet users. Old archives are not currently available, but if demand warrants it may be possible to retrieve them. All non-BitNet requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-NETS-REQUEST@THINK.COM. Multiple users at a given site should create a local distribution list and request that the local alias be added to the list, in order to reduce the load on the THINK.COM mailer.

Coordinator: Jon Solomon info-prograph@grove.iup.edu [Last Updated 12-October-1991] Users of the Macintosh programming language Prograph now have their own Internet list! To subscribe to this new list, send an Email message to info-prograph-request@grove.iup.edu We aren't using any automated subscription process, so no special syntax is required. Just say you want to subscribe, and I'll add your name to the list. Prograph, for those who have not seen it before, is an icon-based object-oriented programming language, published by TGS Systems, Halifax, Nova Scotia. My only connection with TGS is that I own Prograph, and am beta-testing the 2.5 version, and that they have subscribed to the list. Prograph includes an application "shell", which makes it easy to quickly generate prototypes of your application. Unlike other application generators, such as Serius Developer or AppMaker, Prograph is a complete and self-contained programming language, with full access to the Mac Toolbox (including System 7 calls). The versatile Interpreter lets you quickly test and debug your code, actually allowing you to add new code *while your app is running*! Once you have your application debugged, the Compiler lets you turn it into a standalone, double-clickable Mac application, which you are free to distribute as you see fit (no licensing fees are required).

Users of TMODEM send bug reports and feature requests to BUG-TMODEM@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL. TMODEM is a new TOPS-20 implementation of the Christensen Protocol, with all the latest features, such as: o wildcard file transfers in the style of MODEM7 (YMODEM batch is coming) o the YMODEM implementation of the K option with a new algorithm to return to K mode after falling back to "normal" mode o extensive built-in HELP for all commands and options. TMODEM is an amalgamation of the old TOPS-20 MODEM program, originally written by Bill Westfield while he was at SRI and now at Stanford, major pieces of the TOPS-20 TELNET program, currently maintained by Mark Crispin, and some pieces of code stolen from TTLINK and KERMIT-20 by Frank da Cruz at Columbia University. The archives for replaced mailing list INFO-MODEMXX are frozen 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.

Coordinator: Jan Snoek INGRAFX on LISTSERV@PSUVM CARTOGRAPHY, INFO GRAPHICS, SCI-VIZ, AND RELATED AREAS Hello! INGRAFX is a new listserv devoted to the interdisciplinary areas of cartography, information graphics and scientific visualization. As owner of the list, I would like to invite all those who have an interest in the broad range of images known as "graphics" (maps, photographs, drawings and information or quantitative graphics) to consider signing up. Please do not take these requirements too formally! Ideally, the discussion will be uninhibited and free-flowing. Candidate topics for discussion might be; the relation of maps to graphics as a whole (are they different kinds of representation?); the philosophy of graphic representation (what theories are there of graphic representations, and how does a graphic "represent" segments of the world); how can we use graphics in education; to what extent does "graphicacy" matter in today's world; what is the relationship between academic or scientific graphics, and graphics in the popular media; can we or should we accrue rules for "good" graphics; are there graphic variables or elements that are basic to all graphics, and can these be used in animation? In general our aim is for an *informal* discussion which is cross-disciplinary, and about graphics. ***How to Join in*** Curious to see what's going on so far? Why not sign up now? Sign up in the usual way for LISTSERVs, i.e., send mail to LISTSERV@PSUVM on BITNET or LISTSERV@PSUVM.PSU.EDU on Internet with the following command in the TEXT: SUB INGRAFX your firstname and last name Once you are a subscriber you can retrieve any files that have been archived on the listserv, including the monthly discussion logs, and other files of interest. To see what is there, either TELL or send a email note to LISTSERV AT PSUVM or LISTSERV AT PSUVM.PSU.EDU with the command INDEX INGRAFX . Once you have decided on a file you can retrieve it by using the GET command. E.g., TELL LISTSERV AT PSUVM GET 'File name', or GET 'Another file'. Post by sending email to ingrafx@psuvm. Owner: "Jeremy Crampton" or --------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Future Discussions on the List*** As a geographer/cartographer, I am particularly interested in getting fellow cartographers to join in the debate. Especially students. However, one of the goals of the list is to broaden cartographic debate to include consideration of the many forms and roles of graphics in today's highly visual world. To this end, the list will be interdisciplinary. It will seek to include people from the worlds of information graphics (see the work by Edward Tufte for one position on this), scientific visualization, and the media (_USA Today_ style graphics?...) To my knowledge there does not yet exist such an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of graphics as a whole. I would also like to have people share their graphics. This can be done by compressing and converting a file to binary form. I do not encourage posting of these files to the list, but those people interested in swapping graphics should describe what they have, and what they'd like to see, on the INGRAFX list. Transactions could then take place over private email, with a list of available graphics being held in our archives. Reviews, either of software, books or articles on graphics, are also especially encouraged. If you have been asked to write one and can't wait to see it in "print," send it to INGRAFX (retaining your copyright). We aim to create an informal environment for the discussion of all issues related to graphics. This might also include discussion of ideas you are working on for future articles, or research projects announcements of job openings, interesting graphics you have discovered, or just general commentary with a graphic flavor. -- "...all we are saying, jeremy.. is give Peaks a chance" ele@psuvm.psu.edu INT-LAW on LISTSERV@UMINN1.BITNET or LISTSERV@VM1.SPCS.UMN.EDU [Last Updated 28-January-1992] INT-LAW (Foreign and International Law Librarians) is a list on BITNET for librarians and others interested in exchanging information related to foreign, comparative and international legal materials and issues.

The list began as an informal discussion of two papers by Robert A. Kraft (Pennsylvania) but quickly blossomed into an international forum, with participants in North America, Europe, Australia, and The Middle East. The Philonic and Josephan corpora are extensive enough that they invite all sorts of analysis -- from literary, historical, and philosophical perspectives, to name a few. There is also considerable interest, among participants, in the social realities that lie behind these texts. Prospective members are warmly welcomed.

Certainly, any material relating to ACM SIGIR (the Special Interest Group on Information Retrieval of the Association for Computing Machinery) is of interest. The field has close ties to artificial intelligence, database management, information and library science, linguistics, etc. A partial list of suitable topics is: Information Management/Processing/Science/Technology AI Applications to IR Hardware aids for IR Abstracting Hypertext and Hypermedia CD-ROM/CD-I/... Indexing/Classification Citations Information Display/Presentation Cognitive Psychology Information Retrieval Applications Communications Networks Information Theory Computational Linguistics Knowledge Representation Computer Science Language Understanding Cybernetics Library Science Data Abstraction Message Handling Dictionary analysis Natural Languages, NL Processing Document Representations Optical disc technology and applications Electronic Books Pattern Recognition, Matching Evidential Reasoning Probabilistic Techniques Expert Systems in IR Speech Analysis Expert Systems use of IR Statistical Techniques Full-Text Retrieval Thesaurus construction Fuzzy Set Theory Contributions may be anything from tutorials to rampant speculation. In particular, the following are sought: Abstracts of Papers, Reports, Dissertations Address Changes Bibliographies Conference Reports Descriptions of Projects/Laboratories Half-Baked Ideas Humorous, Enlightening Anecdotes Histories Questions Requests Seminar Announcements/Summaries Research Overviews Work Planned or in Progress The only real boundaries to the discussion are defined by the topics of other mailing lists. Please do not send communications to both this list and AIList or the Prolog list, except in special cases. The Moderator tries not to overlap much with NL-KR, except when both lists receive materials from contributors or from some bulletin board or researchers. There is no objection to distributing material that is destined for conference proceedings or any other publication. The Coordinator is involved in SIGIR Forum and, unless submittors request otherwise, may include submissions in whole or in part in future paper versions of the FORUM. Indeed, this is one form of solicitation for FORUM contributions! Both IRList and the FORUM are unrefereed, and opinions are always those of the author and not of any organization unless there are other indications. Copies of list items should credit the original author, not necessarily the IRList. The IRLIST Archives will be set up for anonymous FTP, and the address will be announced in future issues. To subscribe send the following command to LISTSERV@UCCVMA.BITNET: SUB IR-L your_full_name where "your_full_name" is your real name, not your login Id.

ISO10646%JHUVM.BITNET@VM1.NODAK.EDU ISO10646 on LISTSERV@JHUVM Purpose: To serve as a clearing house for information on and discussion of multi-byte coded-character-set issues. The ISO 10646 draft and Unicode draft standards represent two different approaches to encoding the world's characters into a multi-byte code. Background: People are looking at multi-byte codes as a way to solve many of the problems we are experiencing with single-byte, 7-bit and 8-bit codes. Although most of us do not need all 191 of the characters in the ISO 8859-1 character set (repertoire), we frequently need characters outside of this set; for example, bullets or nice quotation marks for professional looking documents, symbols for mathematics and science, etc. The reason for developing multi-byte codes is that processing ONE multi-byte code appears easier than several single-byte codes. As of March, 1990, two coding schemes have emerged. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Subcommittee 2, Working Group 2 (SC2/WG2) has developed the ISO 10646 Multi-Octet Code. It is now a "draft proposed" standard (two levels removed from being an international standard). The ISO working group has been working on this project for the last 6 years and it has been subject to unusually wide review for a proposed standard. The other draft standard is the result of the work of a consortium of U.S. companies, mostly from the west coast. It is called Unicode. Both of these draft standards enable the worlds communication (newspapers and magazines) and business characters, ideographs, and symbols to be encoded for storage and communication between computers. However, each uses a different approach to making the inevitable tradeoffs.

This language has been recently completed after 35 years work, and is spoken by a few people, and growing steadily. Its original purpose was as a tool in testing the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis of linguistics. Other applications, including language education, machine translation, artificial intelligence, an international language, etc. have surfaced and gained adherents. For information about Lojban, send a snail address to: -- lojbab = Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 lojbab@snark.thyrsus.com since there is little on-line published material yet.

While LANWatch has its roots in the MIT Netwatch program, it is different and the list is intended to focus on LANWatch. To subscribe, send the following command to LISTSERV@vm1.nodak.edu or LISTSERV@NDSUVM1.Bitnet in the BODY or TEXT of mail: SUB LWUSERS your_full_name where "your_full_name" is your name. For example: SUB LWUSERS Im A. Packet Subscription is open to anyone, but list contributions are set up as "Private" which means that a user address MUST be on the list of subscribers in order to contribute. This is ONLY done to cut down on stray "noise". Anyone may subscribe to the list. If you read the list on some other medium or want to contribute from a different mail address you may still do so. Just subscribe as usual then send the command "set lwusers nomail" to LISTSERV to prevent it from sending you mail at that address. Once subscribed you may send contributions to LWUSERS@vm1.nodak.edu or LWUSERS@NDSUVM1 on BITNET. You should use the address corresponding to the LISTSERV address you used to subscribe. Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can obtain a list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX LWUSERS" to LISTSERV@vm1.nodak.edu or LISTSERV@NDSUVM1.Bitnet. You may also access these archives via anonymous FTP on the Internet from host VM1.NoDak.EDU (CD LISTARCH and DIR LWUSERS.*). Owner: Marty Hoag MACPROG@WUVMD.WUSTL.EDU [Last Updated 12-October-1991] Hosted by Washington University, the MACPROG list is the Internet answer to the excellent Usenet programming forum. Hopefully the easier access of an Internet-based list will promote even better communication between Macintosh developers of commercial, in-house, and shareware software. In addition, this list will move some of the more technical topics out from lists devoted to user-oriented issues. I will be moderating the list remotely from Wayne State University. I'm not a Mac programming expert per se. But I am one of those sadistic indiviuals who, convinced life alone wasn't handing me enough problems, decided to take up Mac programming for the sheer fun of it. Luckily I found a job where they'd pay me to have fun (actually I'm a System's Analyst but they give me in-house programming time for good behavior). The list will be moderated in a digest format (Info-mac style). I'll collect submissions into one digest and crank one out every day or two as traffic dictates. If the initial membership is any indication, this list should have heavy traffic. 30 people have subscribed already, with 40 more inquiries, without even having officially announced the list. The focus of MacProg will be to discuss mainstream language coding techniques. What's a mainstream language? C & Pascal principally, although other languages like LISP, Prologue, Fortran, Basic, HyperTalk, and application scripting are certainly welcome. Besides Q&A, I'd like to have other features running. For example, I'd like participants to report errors in documentation from Apple or other sources. There's been times when I've felt like terminating execution of my program with a 16lb., chrome-plated sledge hammer, simply because of an error I was getting caused by errant specifications from Apple. Also I'd like participants to offer quick reviews on books they've read, seminars they've attended, or interactive courses they've used which have been particularly good or bad. Since no one can ever know everything about Mac programming, and since system compatibility is a constantly moving target, sources of programming information are important for beginners and experts alike. So, if you think you'd like to use this informative service for Macintosh developers send mail to LISTSERV@WUVMD.WUSTL.EDU or LISTSERV@WUVMD.BITNET with the following command in the BODY of the mail: SUBSCRIBE MACPROG your name Special thanks to Eric Oberle of Washington University for setting this all up on his mainframe. But what do you mean when you say I have to pay the electric bill? Owner and Moderator: Bill Brandt mac-security@eclectic.com MacIntosh Security I have established a mailing list for people interested in Macintosh security. This can be used to: * Discuss existing security problems in various Macintosh applications. * Discuss security applications, hardware, and solutions. * Discuss potential problems and their solutions. * Announcements of new Macintosh viruses and virus control software. (Discussion of viruses in depth should be carried out on virus specific mailing lists.) * Just about anything else related to Macintosh security and access control. With the arrival of System 7.0 and it's wealth of information sharing facilities, Macintosh security has entered a new era. Originally you only had to worry about someone getting into your Macintosh via the keyboard, or stealing it outright. Now it's much easier to browse through information on someone else's Macintosh over the network. If you're interested in joining the list, please send a message to: mac-security-request@eclectic.com Contributions to the list should go to: mac-security@eclectic.com At present, the list is unmoderated and will immediately distribute any incoming messages to the list. If conditions change, the list will change to a moderated list, a digest, or some other form. Also, we can look into making it a newsgroup at some point but I'd like to start it in this form and see what develops. Owner: David C.

The name of the new list is MEDSTU-L and initially, the list will be unmoderated with subscriptions open. Due to a present limitation on disk storage, notebooks will be kept for a period of 30 days. The impetus for this list was mail I sent out several weeks ago soliciting medical students with e-mail accounts to exchange mail with medical students here. As a result of that solicitation, I found that while there are many medical students with e-mail accounts, most of them are unaware of others with e-mail accounts. Thus, this list. While it is an open list and therefore there is no way of verifying the subscription request, the two list owners respectfully request that the list be limited to students in medical schools. To subscribe to the list send e-mail to LISTSERV@UNMVM and in the body of the message say SUB MEDSTU-L your_first_name your_last_name If you have any questions, please let us know.

Owner: john chadwick chadwick@unmb (bitnet) chadwick@bootes.unm.edu (internet) music-research%prg.oxford.ac.uk@NSS.CS.UCL.AC.UK The Music-Research electronic mail redistribution list was established after a suggestion made at a meeting in Oxford in July 1986, to provide an effective and fast means of bringing together musicologists, music analysts, computer scientists, and others working on applications of computers in music research. Initially, the list was established for people whose chief interests concern computers and their applications to - music representation systems - information retrieval systems for musical scores - music printing - music analysis - musicology and ethnomusicology - tertiary music education - databases of musical information The following areas are NOT the principal concern of this list, although overlapping subjects may well be interesting: - primary and secondary education - sound generation techniques - composition This group is gatewayed to the USENET group "comp.music", but postings to comp.music are not included in the digest. On-line archives are not yet available, but copies will be mailed on request by Brad Rubenstein . All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to music-research-request%prg.oxford.ac.uk@NSS.CS.UCL.AC.UK or UUCP ...!ukc!ox-prg!music-research-request.

NetMonth NetMonth is a network service publication distributed free of charge to students and professionals in BITNET and other networks. This magazine and it's companion file, BITNET SERVERS, are the work of the Yale Computer Center BITNET Services Library (BITLIB) staff. The BITLIB is a local online help facility designed to inform Yale network users about what services are available to them through BITNET, and provide instructions and utilities for their proper use. In publishing NetMonth the BITLIB staff members hope to share the fruits of their labor with institutions outside of Yale in order to promote a productive and enjoyable networking environment for everyone. The BITLIB system is now distributed to more than thirty educational institutions worldwide. BITNET SERVERS is BITNET's most complete and up-to-date list of servers and services.

Moderator: Peter Marvit NEWEDU-L on LISTSERV@USCVM.BITNET New Paradigms in Education List or LISTSERV@VM.USC.EDU [Last Updated 12-October-1991] This list is dedicated to experimenting with and exploring the way we educate. We ask: what are the new paradigms in education and how can they be implemented. For instance: * How is technology changing the way we view education? * What effects will cooperative/collaborative strategies have on teaching and learning? * Does the so-called "information age" change the way we view our responsibilities as educators? * Artificial intelligence research is changing our view of how we know things. How does this affect education? * How can we reduce dependency in education and foster independent learning? There are many individuals working in these areas, each with a conviction that education will change. This list attempts to bring together every teacher, student, researcher, librarian, multimedia expert and information specialist interested in educational change -- Kindergarten through post-graduate. You are encouraged to: * Submit summaries of or commentary on published articles and books which explore the frontiers of teaching and learning. * Submit in-progress papers or abstracts of those papers for comment. * Share the results of your experiments with teaching and learning. * Ask thought-provoking questions about the future of education and the environments in which it takes place. * Recruit interested parties to this listserv, regardless of their status in education, industry or government.

In addition, "NEW-LIST" might be used as a final verification before establishing a list (to check for existing lists on the same topic, etc.). However, be sure to check sources such as the Internet List-of-Lists (SIGLIST or INTEREST-GROUPS list), LISTSERV GROUPS, Usenet News newusers lists, and the LISTS database on the major LISTSERVs (we have the LISTS database on NDSUVM1). It is not our intent to replace the various lists of lists that are available. We want to provide a clearinghouse to feed list announcements to all those maintaining the lists and others who are interested. You may subscribe to the NEW-LIST list by sending RFC822 Mail to LISTSERV@VM1.NoDak.EDU on Internet or LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 on BitNet. In the BODY (text) of your mail include the command: SUB NEW-LIST firstname lastname eg. sub new-list Jane Doe The LISTSERV server will take your address from the "From:" address of your mail. If you are on BITNET/EARN/NetNorth and can send interactive messages (eg. TELL on CMS or SEND on VMS with JNET) then you can send the SUB command as shown to LISTSERV at NDSUVM1 interactively. If you prefer, you may send mail to the Coordinator to be asked to be added to the list. However you subscribe, you should receive return mail with a confirmation and additional information.

Its primary purpose is to provide the NeXT manager with a quick source of information for system management problems that are of a time-critical nature. Its secondary purpose is to disseminate time-critical or security- related information. To be added to the list send mail to the owner (below). Owner: next-managers-request@stolaf.edu ----- CUT HERE FOR NEXT-MANAGERS POLICY ----- EVERYONE WHO RECEIVES THIS MESSAGE: READ IT THOROUGHLY. This message is a summary of the next-managers charter and rules. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in severe chastisement by the list maintainer and other list participants or your being removed from the next-managers mailing list. 1: This list is NOT moderated! Every message that is sent to the list next-managers@stolaf.edu will be passed on to every member of the list 2: Requests to have addresses added or removed from the list should NOT be sent to the entire list. Instead, they should be mailed to: next-managers-request@stolaf.edu 3: This list is intended to be a quick-turnaround trouble shooting aid for those who administer and manage NeXT systems. Its primary purpose is to provide the NeXT manager with a quick source of information for system management problems that are of a time-critical nature. Its secondary purpose is to disseminate time-critical or security- related information. 4: Answers to questions are to be mailed back to the questioner and are NOT to be sent to the entire list. The person who originally asked the question has the responsibility of summarizing the answers and sending the entire summary back to the list. If everyone follows this, one problem will only generate two or possibly three messages on the list. The summary message should contain the keyword "SUMMARY" in the subject line. 5: Corrections to compiled answers should be addressed only to the person who first asked the question; this person (the writer of the original question) is then responsible for distributing the corrected information to the list. 6: Discussions on ANY topic are very strongly discouraged. 7: If it is not specifically related to NeXT system management, then it does NOT belong on this list. 8: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...Think before you send a message! Ask yourself is this really appropriate? have you checked in the reference manuals? have you checked NextAnswers? have you checked the Digital Librarian? have you checked in the online man pages? have you checked the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list? have you checked the next-managers archive? before mailing to the next-managers list. There are enough other newsgroups, mailing lists and other resources around to cover the marginal topics. 9: Do NOT send message from "root" or from "me"; send them from your own personal account. 10: Do not send messages with NeXT attachments; please use straight-text only. 11: next-managers is currently archived on "ftp.stolaf.edu" in ~ftp/pub/next-managers.

The primary concentration of this list should be NL and KR, that is, natural language (be it understanding, generation, recognition, parsing, semantics, pragmatics, etc.) and how we should represent knowledge (aquisition, access, completeness, etc. are all valid issues). Topics deemed to be outside the general scope of this list will be forwarded to AIList (or other more appropriate list) or rejected.

The explicit purpose of Pol-Econ is to provide timely interchange between subscribers, to provide a forum where interesting questions can be addressed within the context of interactive exchange between many individuals, to discuss the evolution and application of Political Economy, to announce professional meetings, calls for papers, etc., and to provide partial tables of contents for current periodicals. As is the case on all unmoderated lists, the discussion and topics are only limited by the participation and interest of its subscribers. Subscribers are welcome to take an active role by posting to Pol-Econ or an inactive role by monitoring the list. Although not necessary for participation, it shall be assumed that subscribers are basically familiar with technical economic jargon. To subscribe to Pol-Econ, please send a MAIL message to: LISTSERV@SHSU.BITNET ---- The body of this MAIL message should be one line and contain the words: SUBSCRIBE Pol-Econ ******Please note****** LISTSERV@SHSU.BITNET is not supported by the conventional interactive VM-based LISTSERV, but is instead entirely MAIL oriented. List owner: George D. Greenwade POLAND-L%UBVMS.BITNET@VM1.NODAK.EDU Mailing list devoted to the discussion of Polish culture and events. We are interested in all subjects related to Poland, Polish Americans and Eastern Europe (related to Poland). POLAND-L is archived weekly. To obtain a list of available files send the following command to LISTSERV@UBVM through e-mail: INDEX POLAND-L To subscribe to POLAND-L, send the following command to LISTSERV@UBVM via e-mail text: SUBSCRIBE POLAND-L Your_full_name where "Your_full_name" is your real name, not your login Id. We discourage using SEND or similar means, since this sometimes introduces different paths than e-mail and may result in bouncing e-mail. Non-BitNet users can join by sending the above command as the only line in the text/body of a message to LISTSERV%UBVM.BITNET@VM1.NODAK.EDU. Coordinator: Jerzy Pawlowski POLI-SCI@RUTGERS.EDU POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly after the November 1980 election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact that electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity, the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull session). Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in: mail.txt and other files in the directory All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to POLI-SCI-REQUEST@RUTGERS.EDU.

Coordinator: Jan Scheutjens POPULATION-BIOLOGY Population Biology is a synthesis of population ecology and population genetics, pursuing a unified theory to explain the structure, functioning and evolution of populations of living beings. Such populations are very complex systems, exhibiting a variety of phenomena that we stil do not master. Just to quote a famous example, multiannual density cycles (e.g. in lemmings) have not received a satisfactory expalnation, despite of decades of debated studies and speculations. Population Biology is a very active field, encompassing such diverse approaches as tenacious, harsh field work to track long term demographic and genetic fluctuations, or sophisticated conversations with a computer about strange attractors possibly causing chaos in the density fluctuations. Topics that can be discussed include: ecology, population genetics, systematics, evolution, morphometry, interspecific competition, sociobiology, mathematical modelling, population regulation, pest control, speciation, chromosomal evolution, social behaviour, statistical methodology in population study, population management of endangered species, applications of molecular biology techniques, etc., and, last but not least, your own topic. There is no restriction on the species: viruses, protokaryotes, plants, animals (including man), mythic or extinct species, computer- simulated species... Technical problems, book reviews, meeting annoucements and so on are also welcome.

The list is for the discussion and exchange of information and software for Psion computers. This list is for Psion Organiser handheld computers, and Psion laptops (including the MS-DOS models). Non-Psion portable and handheld computer discussion is welcome. Although this list originates at an Internet site, there are gateways to many other networks and mail systems. Fidonet, Compuserve, MCI and many other systems can also receive this mailing list. Contact the moderator for more information. There is an archive of Psion software and other information at csd4.csd.uwm.edu in the Psion directory. For users that can't ftp, files can be requested via mail. The archive already contains over 500K, mostly obtained from the PIG (Psion Interest Group) Pen BBS (703-765-6290). The BBS has recently changed formats and will no longer be exclusively Psion oriented but the files and message system will be retained.

Coordinator: Peter Flynn UCC PSRT-L on LISTSERV@UMCVMB Political Science Research and Teaching PSRT-L@UMCVMB is a moderated discussion list on Bitnet which deals with issues of interest to professional political scientists, both researchers and teachers. Submissions from all sub-fields of political science as well as related disciplines are encouraged. The list is not intended to serve as a public forum for debate over current issues in politics, as other lists already fill that niche. Rather it is intended to provide an opportunity for political scientists to present their ideas and ongoing research for discussion, to consider the directions in which the discipline is advancing, and to encourage the dissemination of new concepts in research and teaching. In addition to ongoing discussions, the list editors would like to post announcements of job openings and upcoming conferences. To subscribe to PSRT-L send mail to LISTSERV@UMCVMB on BITNET with the TEXT or BODY of the mail containing the one line: SUB PSRT-L yourfirstname yourlastname Editors of PSRT-L: Michael Malaby Bill Ball PSYCGRAD@ACADVM1.UOTTAWA.CA [Last Updated 12-October-1991] Psychology Graduate Students Discussion Group List Now graduate students of psychology can communicate among each other efficiently and free of charge because, there is a new list on the Listserv called PSYCGRAD (Psychology Graduate Students Discussion Group List). Its main purpose is to provide a medium through which graduate students in the field of psychology can communicate. If you are a student studying in a graduate-level psychology program, you are invited to join this list. It is asked that conversation topics be relevant to being a graduate student in psychology. As you probably can see, this is a very open category and not too rigorously defined. Virtually, anything goes except junk-mail advertisements. The list will not be moderated and subscriptions are open. (Junk mail has been a terrible problem for many users in the past). Corporations, businesses, agencies, publishers, etc. are not invited to the list. There are a few ways to subscribe to this list. 1. If your system is part of Bitnet and a VM system, you may do this by using the interactive command by typing at the R; (prompt)- TELL LISTSERV AT UOTTAWA SUB PSYCGRAD Yourfirstname Yourlastname (Don't forget to capitalize and lower case Yourfirstname and Yourlastname). 2. If your system is part of Bitnet and a VAX system, you may do this by using the interactive command by typing this comand. SEND LISTSERV@ACADVM1.UOTTAWA.CA SUB PSYCGRAD Yourfirstname Yourlastname (Don't forget to capitalize and lower case Yourfirstname and Yourlastname). 3. Or, you may mail one single solitary command to Listserv by mailing to LISTSERV AT UOTTAWA, and then make your only line read as follows... SUB PSYCGRAD Yourfirstname Yourlastname. 4.

If you have any questions or corrections about this message, please send them to "sysnmc@chron.com". pubnet@chinacat.unicom.com A new mailing list has been formed to discuss public access UNIX systems. It's primarily focus is upon starting and administering such a system, but users are certainly welcome to join in. The backbone of the "pubnet" hierarchy no longer exists, and along with it went the main purpose for these newsgroups. Even though pubnet is no longer needed, it still serves two important functions. First, it is the home for Phil Eschallier's "nixpub" list of public access systems. Second, it offers a forum for the administrators of public access systems. Nixpub won't be lost in the changes. It is already cross-posted into comp.misc, and I expect Phil will make that its new home. The second function, however, will be lost when pubnet goes away. I floated a trial balloon to see if there was interest in creating a single newsgroup (I suggested "comp.org.pubnet") to replace the pubnet hierarchy. The response I received was favorable, but not enough to support creating a group. Thus - I propose a "pubnet" mailing list to fill in this gap. If you want to join, send a request to "pubnet-request@chinacat.unicom.com". Why do I care that pubnet survives? Neither me nor my equipment has anything to do with public access systems. Call it a debt of gratitude. Four years ago, when I moved from California to Texas, my USENET and email access was lost. Thanks to folks like Wayne Ross (then of warble, and previous keeper of the nixpub) and Charlie Boykin (then of killer) I was able to get access and eventually bootstap a USENET site. Public access UNIX provides some good services, and it's a worthwhile thing to keep around.

While the list began as a list for Purdue only, it became so popular that it has been opened up for general subscriptions. Previous topics taken up by the group have included: - the relationship between social construction and ethnographic research in composition. - the disciplinary relationships between rhetoric, literary criticism, and linguistics. - the debate between agonistic and rogerian approaches to composition. - the impact of cultural studies on composition pedagogy and research. - and the antagonism between post-structuralist and cognitivist approaches to historical, theoretical, and empirical research methods. Members are encouraged to submit works in progress, reviews of recent publications, reports or announcements of conferences, bibliographies, or questions for group discussion. Subscription to the list is by listowners. Messages sent to the list are archived and may be retrieved by list members. Also, a filelist containing help files, bibliographies, and papers of interest is available to list members.

With the growth in complexity of computer networks, mapping is becoming more important as a visualisation technique and for finding anomalies. There are numerous commericial and public domain tools available but many have serious limitations and are often specific to a single group of protocols. RIPE (Reseau IP Europeen) has set up a working group for studying the problem, this mailing list is intended as a forum for wider discussions. To join, send mail to to contribute send mail to archives on mcsun.eu.net:~ftp/ripe/archives/ripe-map Some of the issues for discussion are listed here, Auto-discovery, automatically discovering the topology of computer networks. How can this be done, what standards need changing to do this efficiently. Automatic Layout, Automatically laying out (or untangling) maps so that they look good on in a window or on a piece of paper. Features, which feaures of existing tools are the best what else is wanted. Formats, in what format should maps be stored and how should they be distributed. Model, What database model should be used. Should it be concerned purely with the graphic represention or should it try to model the underlying networks. Different types of map suitable for different purposes, what are the catagories. Other Tools and Standards, how can existing tools and protocols be tied in with a mapping database. Symbols, Standard symbols for representing network entities. How should the status of such entities be drawn. Right_Use_of_Will@kether.webo.dg.com or will@kether.webo.dg.com [Last Updated 12-October-1991] This mailing list is for people interested in discussing topics related to the series of books by Ceanne DeRohan, the first of which is called The Right Use of Will, Healing and Evolving the Emotional Body. These are not ordinary self-help books that show you how to change your life; these books can help you save it. The understandings given in these four books were received from God in the first person. They are are first so startling, so unlike anything you would expect to hear, that you are apt to become very angry, or flatly incredulous. These understandings have to do with the split that has occurred in each of us between Spirit (male intellect), and Will (female feelings): how this split occurred, and why it has to be healed now, and to go about it. These are not easy books to read, or to fully understand at first reading. But they are very worth your while. When you have completed the series, you will have some understanding of how the Cosmos came into being, who the four parts of the One God are, who Lucifer is, who the created spirits are and how, why, and when they emerged, where you emerged, what went wrong from the very beginning, the roles played by denial, blame, and guilt, why we and the entire creation, including God, are in peril, and whether you want to heal and remain within God, or not. Individuals interested in the concepts of Will, emotional healing, Earth's and Creation's current evolutionary track, and the healing of the Divine Feminine and Masculine (within and without) are encouraged to read the books and join in on the discussion. The service address, to which questions about the list itself and requests to be added to or deleted from it should be directed, are as follows: Will-Request@kether.webo.dg.com You can send mail to the entire list via one of these addresses: Right_Use_of_Will@kether.webo.dg.com Will@kether.webo.dg.com RISKS@CSL.SRI.COM "RISKS" is a distribution list for discussion of issues related to risks to the public in the use of computer systems.

Mossberg SGANET%VTVM1.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU SGANET on LISTSERV@VTVM1 SGANet: An International Mailing Network for Student Government Associations SGANet, developed and implemented at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, is an international mailing network for Student Government Associations, student representative councils, student parliaments, etc. to use in discussing issues faced by such organizations worldwide. SGANet can be reached through InterNet, an international electronic mail network which links universities and corporations throughout the world. Internet is easy to use and in many cases free of cost. Our operating costs for this network are minimal as should be yours. SGANet is easy to use and will be the host of many interesting discussions which will be of great interest to your organization. SGANet is open to any student government association at any university worldwide. SGANet is an automated mailing list located at Virginia Tech. Let's say, for example, that a student government association from a university in Australia wants to share some of the issues it is working on. They would simply write their article and send it via mail to one of the addresses above SGANet then receives their mail and sends copies of it to every organization on the list. There is no limit to mail usage, and any one on the list can submit an article for distribution. It's that simple and it's very low in cost, in many cases FREE. To become a member of SGANet: Send the following message to LISTSERV%VTMV1.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU: subscribe SGANet (Your organization's full name) {You will receive acknolwedgement and instructions upon receipt of your subscription} Send articles, comments, anecdotes, etc. to SGANet@VTVM1.BITNET They will be automatically sent to everyone on the list. This allows for really good interactive discussions. SHAKER@UKCC.UKY.EDU Mailing list for those interested in the history, culture, artifacts, and beliefs of the Shakers (The United Society of Believers).

I would like to take this opportunity to describe some of the changes in SHAKSPER, and to invite those who might have missed the initial announcement to join us. SHAKSPER is a scholarly BITNET seminar modelled on HUMANIST, currently involving more than ninety Shakespearean researchers, instructors, students, and interested amateurs from seven countries. A number of national and international Shakespeare organizations have expressed an interest in formal involvement, and a number of traditional journals have announced it to their readership. The SHAKSPER Fileserver offers conference papers and abstracts, an Index to Scholarly Works in Progress, an International Directory of Shakespeare Institutes, a Directory of Shakespearean Conferences and Calls for Papers, biographies of conference members, and reference files on a wide variety of subjects. Members of a number of seminars at the upcoming SAA Conference in Vancouver will find their colleagues ready to share papers, comments, and strategies in advance. SHAKSPEReans also gain indirect access to the SHAKSPER Quarto/Folio Textbase, a 17-megabyte textbase of all 55 authoritative quarto and folio texts of the 38 plays. The daily SHAKSPER digests offer an opportunity for informal discussion, eavesdropping, peer review, and a fresh sense of worldwide community. Conference announcements, Shakespeare Association bulletins, member notes and queries, book and theatre reviews, textual debate, discussion of lecture strategies -- SHAKSPER has already logged all this and much more. No academic qualifications are required for membership in SHAKSPER, and anyone interested in English Literature, the Renaissance, or Drama is welcome to join us. Write to the editor, Ken Steele , or send the command SUB SHAKSPER firstname lastname to LISTSERV@UTORONTO in the body of mail or via an interactive message such as TELL LISTSERV AT UTORONTO SUB SHAKSPER firstname lastname and you will receive a more detailed information file with further instructions for becoming a SHAKSPERean. (SHAKSPER is not open to automatic subscription, but no one is refused.) Editor: Ken Steele (Please consider forwarding this announcement to colleagues who might be interested, whether or not they are currently using Bitnet, or posting a paper copy in your English or Drama department.) SHOGI-L%TECHNION.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU SHOGI-L on LISTSERV@TECHNION SHOGI-L, the Shogi Discussion List, is a new mailing list started on May 6, 1990 about the strategic board game of Shogi. The list is intended to serve as a discussion point for Shogi-related topics and as a source of information about Shogi tactics and Shogi events. It also offers to Shogi players the possibility to engage in e-mail games in a friendly ladder competition. Shogi is much like 'western' chess, but has some very interesting differences. One is that almost all pieces can promote to stronger pieces once they reach the opposite side of the board. The second very important difference is that when a piece is captured, it becomes a piece for the capturing side, and can be dropped back onto the board ! This makes for a very exciting game, with an extremely low percentage of draws. Many strong Chess players, such as International Master Larry Kaufman in the US (who is the strongest non-Japanese player outside Japan), have found Shogi to be a great game to play. Although played by millions in Japan, so far it isn't well known outside Japan. But surely, there are some net-people out there who would like to play or get to know more about it. For Apple Macintosh owners we also have a Hypercard Shogi Stack available, which contains valuable information for every Shogi novice. We would also like to get source or executable code for a program that plays Shogi.

Cross-platform compatibility issues related to software and hardware, with an emphasis placed on software, are also included in this forum. The relevance, intentions, and uses of various software product categories, such as * Personal Information Managers (PIMs) * Connectivity (communications) * Utilities * Shells and "Front Ends" * Graphics (formats, design packages) * Object-oriented Software * Optical Character Recognition (OCR) * Programming Language Environments * Multimedia products * Integrated Packages * Desktop Publishing (DTP) * The three "basics"--Databases, Spreadsheets and Text Managers are also included. Multimedia-based integration of various application categories, discussed from a software perspective, is also encouraged. Software Products include new software packages as well as the latest upgrades/updates to existing software products/packages. Members are encouraged to share knowledge of existing software packages in addition to that of new features being incorporated into upgrades of these products. Members are also encouraged to share knowledge (such as the uses, applications, and features) of recently introduced software products. Therefore, members of the list are encouraged to act as "consultants" and "enquirers" where appropriate. In accordance with current CREN regulations, commercial activity (such as the selling of software) will be prohibited. SCOPE: SOFTREVU is intended to cover all microcomputer platforms; such as the Apple Macintosh line, Amigas, IBM PS/2 line, PC compatibles, the NeXT machines, Sun and SPARC workstations, and the like. Within the scope of these computing platforms, a wide range of software products exist. Any and all of these products are viable discussion topics. SOFTREVU does not exist as a topic for issues of ethics in computing - see the ETHICS-L list. However, the merits of software packages, such as their user interface, compatibility across disparate computing platforms, and the like, are acceptable topics. List subscribers are encouraged to ask questions about software, and to offer up their opinions. In keeping with current CREN (Corporation for Research and Educational Networking) and InterNET policies, subscribers are prohibited from attempting to sell software over the network. However, the list moderators cannot be held responsible for the actions of list subscribers. SOFTREVU does not exist as a forum for the discussion of hardware or programming issues except where the relevance to existing or forthcoming software is explicit. Hardware issues should be directed to the PCTECH-L and PCSUPT-L lists, which are geared toward discussions of that nature. Programming and/or technical issues should be brought up in any of the various lists and special interest groups which are designed for this purpose. Only extremely limited concerns in customization of existing software are included, such as writing simple macros, scripts, and other modest routines. With respect to programming languages, the merits of the environment package - not the actual language - are appropriate for discussion. MEMBERSHIP: Any person who wishes to share knowledge, answer questions and/or desires to learn and ask questions is welcome. Potential members include users, consultants, programmers, managers, and the like. This list is intended to bring together people from all backgrounds to share information. GUIDELINES: SOFTREVU is a moderated list. The atmosphere of this list is one of mutual support to all members and advocates cooperation. Members are expected to engage in constructive criticism only. Subscribers are requested to keep personal vendettas off the list. This is not a forum for political or ethical discussions in any capacity; it is a forum for the discussion of software. Problems or complaints should be addressed to the list moderators. Anyone who does not maintain this policy, or is generally disruptive to the harmony of this list, will be removed. MODERATORS: Jamie Donnelly IV, ENCSADM1@UCONNVM.BITNET Elaine Brennan, ELAINE@BrownVM.Brown.EDU David B. O'Donnell, EL406006@BrownVM.Brown.EDU ARCHIVING: The list will maintain monthly archives of discussions. These archives will be purged periodically, removing outdated material, and to save system space and overhead. Announcements will be made prior to major purges, but subscribers should expect purges every few months. If necessary, either local or remote filespace may be set aside for the storage of documents of relevance to the list. ACCESSING THE LIST: To subscribe to SOFTREVU send the command, SUBSCRIBE SOFTREVU to LISTSERV@BROWNVM (LISTSERV@BrownVM.Brown.EDU). DO NOT SEND LIST COMMANDS TO THE LIST.

There are two main purposes for this list. 1) To discuss the Star Trek Role-playing game and the enhancements that FASA puts out for it 2) to play a game of Star Trek : The Role-playing game. Some of the topics that could be discussed (besides the playing of the game) could include reviews of new products by FASA, distributing new Starships and different ways to build them, "linking together" the original and the next generation and trying to fill in the history in between the two and lots of other things. This mailing list is NOT for discussing the Star Trek TV series or movies or talking about rumors and stuff except where they pertain to the Role-playing game.

The Neon Sign Stat League (NSSL) is a head-to-head rotisserie league which pits fan against fan in the goal of assembling the best baseball team from among ML players. Weekly performance is determined based upon player performance and wins-losses are determined by comparing two teams which 'play' each other each week. Two or three NSSL seasons are played during each ML season. Choosing lineups and trading players requires strategy and a lot of luck. Users interested in Rotisserie League Baseball are invited to subscribe. To subscribe to the list send mail (or message) to LISTSERV@SBCCVM with a text of: SUB STATLG-L firstname lastname (in body of mail).

Coordinator: Woody Starkweather STUXCH-L@PSUVM.PSU.EDU Student Exchanges [Last Updated 12-October-1991] STUXCH-L@PSUVM is a list for students in art, architecture, and both visual and basic design. If you are interested in making a student exchange in one of these areas then post your interest to this list. While initially established for Pennsylvania State University the list is open to students in these fields at any institution. To subscribe to the list send e-mail to LISTSERV@PSUVM.BITNET (or LISTSERV@PSUVM.PSU.EDU on the Internet) with the following command in the body of the mail: SUB STUXCH-L yourfirstname yourlastname To obtain a list of files available send the following command to LISTSERV@PSUVM: INDEX STUXCH-L Owner: Harold Ray Lawrence HRL@PSUARCH.BITNET SUEARN-L on LISTSERV@UBVM (aka LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU) The SUEARN-L consists of news items, articles, and how-to questions about the ongoing work on connecting the U.S.S.R. to international computer networks (the internet) contributed by its readers, cross-posted from other mailing lists, and retyped (usually without permission) from the "real" press. Topics often discussed include directions on reaching Soviet sites by e-mail, discussions of how modems and other equipment work over Soviet phone lines, technology export restrictions, and prospects for connecting more sites to the net. Submissions for the digest should be mailed to SUEARN-L@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU. They will be automatically forwarded by the LISTSERV to the editor, who puts together the digest and mails one out every week or so. Questions of the type "Is Soviet site S reachable by e-mail?" may be answered by private e-mail if the editor knows the answer. The digest is distributed by a LISTSERV mailing list. As with other such lists, one subscribes by sending a NJE interactive message or mail saying in its body SUB SUEARN-L Your name to LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU (or any other LISTSERV). If you try this and fail, ask one of the list owners to help you with your subscription. Many sites channel SUEARN-L digests into NOTES, NEWS, RN, or similar systems that let many users read a single copy of the digest. If you're at such a site, you can save some network bandwidth by reading such a "public" copy, instead of having your personal copy e-mailed to you. List Editor/Owner: Mike Meystel MEYSTMA@DUVM.BITNET List Owner: Dimitri Vulis DLV@CUNYVMS1.BITNET Additional Information: Like most good things on Internet, SUEARN-L free, unless you use a commercial e-mail system, gatewayed to Internet, that charges you for incoming mail. The digest is sent out about once a week, and is typically several hundred lines long. Please note that the Baltic states aren't considered to be part of USSR by the editors of this digest, and the discussion of e-mail connection to these countires should be sent to BALT-L, not to SUEARN-L; but the discussion of computer network situation in Eastern and Central Europe as a whole (including, but not limited to the USSR) have been posted in the past. HISTORY: SUEARN-L was split off RusTeX-L in the summer of 1990. (RusTeX-L dealt originally with both quietions of Cyrillic (Russian and other) text processing and Soviet e-mail (the people interested in one are usually interested in the other)). By that time, RusTeX-L traffic dealing with e-mail increased sufficiently to annoy those RusTeX-L readers not interested in the technical aspects of exchanging e-mail with the USSR, so SUEARN-L was born (leaving RusTeX-L for Cyrillic text processing discussions only), and reached its present form (a moderated weekly digest) after months of trial and error.

Initially, the distribution will include TeXhax Digest, UKTeX, and TeXMaG. The intent of TeX-Pubs is to allow users a single site for delivery of electronic form periodicals, such as TeXhax, UKTeX, and TeXMaG, as well as any others which may be brought to my attention (possibly also including the periodic "frequently asked questions" posts from USENET's comp.text.tex). This list is offerred in lieu of directly posting these documents to INFO-TeX. The decision to create a support list is in an effort to provide this information to interested readers, but not replicate it for those who wish to retain their current subscription(s) and not be bothered by extraneous material on INFO-TeX. There will be no direct archives for TeX-Pubs. Instead, each of the included periodicals will have its own directory available for retrieval at FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET. If you would like to subscribe to TeX-Pubs, please MAIL the command: SUBSCRIBE TeX-Pubs ==== in the body of a message to LISTSERV@SHSU.BITNET.

Intellectual is stressed as opposed to the "personal", the inspirational, or evangelistic. This does not mean one cannot evangelize, but rather that participants should persuade rather than brow-beat or attack those they disagree with. Arguments are inevitable, but they ultimately should resolve into mutual understanding or at least a truce. What are the fit subjects? - the Cosmos is the limit; some might be: World Religions - Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism especially inter-religious dialogue. Apologetics - How should a religious perspective operate in relation to critical questioning? For example, can you prove God exists if evil also does? Conversion - By what means or methods should one faith seek to increase its members? Or is this out-of-bounds in a pluralistic society? Dogma - What are the basic tenets of a world religion? Are they coherent? Should they be? What do they derive from, revelation or something else? Ethics - Should religious beliefs and values seek to get involved in politics? Should an individual religious person seek to promote their morals apart from their own religious communities?

University of Arkansas serves as host to the listserver. TOOLB-L is a new list to provide an unmoderated environment where issues, questions, comments, ideas, and uses of Asymetrix's ToolBook and it's OpenScript language can be freely discussed. The explicit purpose of TOOLB-L is to provide timely interchange between subscribers, to provide a forum where interesting questions can be addressed within the context of interactive exchange between many individuals, and to discuss the evolution of ToolBook applications. The discussions of TOOLB-L will be archived and available for reference. In the future it is hoped this list will lead to the establishment of public domain toolbook archives. These archives would be very similar to the currently existing archives of hypercard stacks. As is the case on all unmoderated lists, the discussion and topics are only limited by the participation and interest of its subscribers. Subscribers are welcome to take an active role by posting to TOOLB-L or an inactive role by monitoring the list.

The list is also a good place to ask questions of general interest; stimulating discussion on recent results or publications; and to provide an easy and cheap way to forward general announcements, such as congresses, new journals, administration, relevant news, etc. This is the job of the list moderators. However, anyone who wishes to use the list for announcing interesting scientific events or meetings is invited to do so, or to send the information to the moderators, allowing calls for papers, bibliographies, and reports of lasting interest; obtaining, if possible, the contents pages in electronic format of relevant journals (such as J Thermal Biol, Am J Physiol, J Appl Physiol, Eur J Appl Physiol, etc.) for publication in THPHYSIO. A side-effect of the list will be that any user can easily access the E-Mail address of colleagues. This may be useful for organizing joint research projects, or for asking advice concerning specific technical problems.

Related topics on human-computer interaction for spatial information, on spatial cognition related to GIS use, and on the use of geographic information in general, also are welcome. It was established as part of Research Initiative 13 ("User Interfaces for Geographic Information Systems") of the US National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis. Archives of UIGIS-L and related files are stored in the UIGIS-L FILELIST. To receive a list of files send the command INDEX UIGIS-L to LISTSERV@UBVM or LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU as the first line in the body of a mail message (NOT the Subject: line). To subscribe to UIGIS-L, send the command SUB UIGIS-L your name to LISTSERV@UBVM or LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU via a mail message (again, as the first line in the body of the mail, not the Subject: line). For example: SUB UIGIS-L William Morris Davis Owner: David M. Mark ultimate-list@doe.carleton.ca The purpose of this mailing list is to discuss the sport of ultimate. Details copied from the CFD of a usenet group along the same lines. If succesfull the usenet group will be gatewayed to the mailing list. BACKGROUND: Ultimate is a team sport based on the use of a flying disc (eg. a Frisbee (R)). This sport has existed for 30 years and has gained tremendous popularity within the last ten years. The majority of the players have been cultivated at the collegiate level but as those people move on they continue to play the sport and grow the player base. This has resulted in the formation of club teams, summer leagues, corporate leagues and the like. Ultimate is also played at the international level. Ultimate has a governing body, the Ultimate Players Association (UPA), which publishes and maintains the rules of the sport, organizes tournaments, and pulblishes a monthly magazine. CHARTER: Ultimate is still a very young sport and requires as many avenues of communication as possible to foster it's growth and visibility. Since many Ultimate players have found professions in the hi-tech industry, ie. there are hi-tech corporate Ultimate leagues throughout the US, a newsgroup would provide an excellent forum for o announcing leagues and other Ultimate happenings o disseminating information about tournaments o sport related discussions (ie. newly proposed rules) o providing players with a means to find teams in other parts of the country MODERATION STATUS: unmoderated List distribution address ultimate-list@doe.carleton.ca List administration, subscribe, unsubscribe ultimate-list-request@doe.carleton.ca ultimate-request@doe.carleton.ca List owner owner-ultimate-list@doe.carleton.ca This mailing list is automated, and unmoderated. Anything you mail to ultimate-list@doe.carleton.ca will be mailed to everyone on the list. Bounced mail is returned to you. Please forward any error messages related to the list to owner-ultimate-list@doe.carleton.ca. This will minimize problems all around. To subscribe or unsubscribe an appropriate message should be mailed to ultimate-request@doe.carleton.ca. If possible your message will be handeled automatically. If the software can't figure out what you want in your message I handle it personnally. You will get a reply if the software handles your subscription request. I may or may not reply to a request even when I act on it. If you have problems send mail to owner-ultimate-list@doe.carleton.ca. This helps me to keep everything straight. Please pass this information on if you are telling someone about the list. ULTRALITE-LIST@CSD.MOT.COM An unmoderated list for users of the original NEC UltraLite PC1701 and PC1702 computers (the V30-based notebook computer with a 1MB or 2MB silicon hard disk, not the newer 286- and 386-based models). Topics include general information, tips, techniques, applications, experiences, and sources for hardware, software, accessories, and information. New subscribers will automatically receive digests of all previous messages from the List, at least until such time that it becomes unwieldy to do so. To subscribe or unsubscribe to the ultralite-list, send mail to ultralite-list-request@csd.mot.com. At present, requests are handled by a human operator. No particular format for request is required, but please make sure that your full name is included somewhere in the message or header.

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Unix-Emacs-Request@VM.TCS.TULANE.EDU. Coordinator: John Voigt UNIX-SOURCES@BRL.MIL ARPANET/MilNet gateway for distribution of the "UUCP net" Unix net.sources newslist. Only ONE person at a site should subscribe, since articles tend to be rather long. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to UNIX-SOURCES-REQUEST@BRL.MIL. Contributors who wish never to see error messages from the mailer should specify this address as the return-path of their messages. There is a BITNet/Netnorth/EARN sub-distribution list, UNIX-SRC@NDSUVM1; BNEnet subscribers can join by sending the SUB command with your name. For example, SEND LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 SUB UNIX-SRC Jon Doe To be removed from the list, SEND LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 SIGNOFF. To make contributions to the list, BITNet subscribers should send mail to the ARPANet list name, NOT to the BITNet list name. Coordinator: Chuck Kennedy UNIX-SW@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL UNIX-SW is a vehicle for announcing the availablity of new major packages of UNIX/'C' language software on the WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL repository. This list will also be used to mail periodic updates of the list of all UNIX software held at WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL (probably monthly). UNIX-SW is not a forum for discussion of this software. Such discussions are more appropriately held with the authors, or in other groups. Rather, we are attempting to make known to the widest possible audience the contents of this large repository of public-domain software. SIMTEL20 is a DEC-20 machine running the TOPS20 operating system, located at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. The machine is a host on the Defense Data Network (DDN), and as such, gives users located on other hosts the capability of directly transferring this software via the FTP (file transfer process) command. 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 UNIX-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. The repository has recently (Feb. '88) been completely reorganized by the new coordinator. The software is now stored in the directory PD2: (it used to be stored in PD2:; this directory no longer exists). All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to UNIX-SW-REQUEST@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL. Coordinator: Dave Curry UNIX-TeX@MIMSY.UMD.EDU Discussion of matters involved in porting TeX82 to Unix. Messages sent to the list are directly redistributed without human intervention. Archives are kept on MIMSY.UMD.EDU in the file: PS:UNIX-TEX.ARC All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to UNIX-TeX-REQUEST@MIMSY.UMD.EDU. Coordinator: Richard Furuta UNIX-WIZARDS@BRL.MIL Distribution list for people maintaining machines running the Unix operating system. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to UNIX-WIZARDS-REQUEST@BRL.MIL. There is a BITNET/Netnorth/EARN sub-distribution list, UNIX-WIZ@NDSUVM1; BNEnet subscribers can join by sending the SUB command with your name. For example, SEND LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 SUB UNIX-WIZ Jon Doe To be removed from the list, SEND LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 SIGNOFF. To make contributions to the list, BitNet subscribers should send mail to the ARPANet list name, NOT to the BITNET list name. Coordinator: Mike Muuss URBAN-L%TREARN.BITNET@VM1.NODAK.EDU Mailing list for information exchange, ideas, etc. on the science of Urban Planning. Yearly archives of the list will be maintained. BitNet users may join the list by sending the following command to LISTSERV@TREARN via interactive message or e-mail: SUB urban-l Your full name where "Your full name" is your real name, not your login Id. Non-BitNet users can join by sending the above command as the only line in the text/body of a message to LISTSERV%TREARN.BITNET@VM1.NODAK.EDU. URBANITES@PSYCHE.MIT.EDU The purpose of this mailing list is to discuss and promote self-sufficiency in everyday life in many forms. This includes but is not limited to basic needs such as food, shelter, health, and safety. A unique aspect of this list, however, unlike many others, is that we will concentrate on the city and urban/semi-urbs applications of traditional self-sufficiency technology. Thus, discussions on raising fish in a small backyard pool or in a large aquarium instead of in cage-culture rafts on a farm pond; raising veggies and some small-tree fruits in containers on the patio or under grow-lights at work (a ready source of fluorescent fixtures for most of us!) instead of in a 20 x 40 garden plot "out back". Certainly folks in a more suburban setting (lucky them!) will find much of the "urbanites" content useful, but the list is here first and foremost for those of us out here in the Concrete Jungle, for whatever reason. Some of us, like myself, are here using the city's resources to learn before setting off for the country or the 'burbs, some are stuck in pay-our-debts jobs here, and some just like the active city environment of places like Harvard Square or Pike's Place. But even though we rent our dwellings and have a postage-stamp size yard, or none at all, we can still get into doing for ourselves in some of the ways our bucolic buddies do. Send requests to be added directly to urbanites-request@psyche.mit.edu and include "urbanites-request" in your subject line.

Some potential topics for discussion: porting software, integrating with bitnet, internet, and servers, requests for help, using UTS-specific features, hardware issues, and anything else that's UTS-related. Discussion should be limited to the UTS environment (under VM or native),pso this list does not replace info-unix, unix-wiz, aix-l, or any otherpmailing list. Postings not specific to UTS should be posted to one of those lists, instead. The discussion is not presently moderated, although if message traffic warrants, it may be in the future. All are free to post to the list, with the condition that you must be subscribed to the list to post anything. To help keep the noise down to a reasonable level, we would appreciate if you would contact your site's UTS system administrator (aka "unix guru") for help on your question, before you send it out to everyone. A monthly notebook of all discussions will be kept online, in files named UTS-L LOGYYMM (UTS-L LOG9001, for example) on the Listserv. To retrieve a notebook, send e-mail or an interactive message to Listserv with a message text/body of GET UTS-L LOGYYMM. Listserv database services are also available - send INFO DATABASE to the list-server for more information. Notebooks will also be available via anonymous FTP to YSUB.YSU.EDU after 1/31/90.

VIRUS-L%LEHIIBM1.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU Virus-L is a forum specifically for the discussion of computer virus experiences, protection software, and other virus related topics. The list is currently open to the public and is a non-digest format list. Readers who prefer digest format lists should periodically read the public back logs of submissions, available from the LEHIIBM1 LISTSERV via a GET command (e.g., GET VIRUS-L LOG8806A for the first week of activity during June, 1988). Mail sent to to Virus-L@LEHIIBM1.BITNET will automatically be redistributed to everyone on the mailing list. By default, you will NOT receive a copy of your own letters. If you wish to, send mail to the LISTSERV saying SET VIRUS-L REPRO Archives are available, as is a file called DIRTY DOZEN which lists a number of viruses, trojan horses, and pirated programs for the IBM PC. All submissions to VIRUS-L are stored in weekly log files which can be downloaded by any user on (or off) the mailing list. There is also a small archive of some of the public anti-virus programs which are currently available. This archive, too, can be accessed by any user. All of this is handled automatically by the LISTSERV. To find out what files are available on the LISTSERV, send mail to LISTSERV%LEHIIBM1.BITNET@MITVMA.MIT.EDU saying INDEX VIRUS-L Note that filenames/extensions are separated by a space, and not by a period. Once you've decided which file(s) you want, send mail to LISTSERV saying GET filename filetype For example, GET VIRUS-L LOG8804 would get the file called VIRUS-L LOG8804 (which happens to be the monthly log of all messages sent to VIRUS-L during April, 1988). Note that, starting June 6, 1988, the logs are weekly. The new file format is VIRUS-L LOGyymmx where yy is the year (88, 89, etc.), mm is the month, and x is the week (A, B, etc.). Readers who prefer digest format lists should read the weekly logs and sign off of the list itself. To subscribe send the following command to LISTSERV@LEHIIBM1 (non-BitNet users send mail to LISTSERV%LEHIIBM1.BITNET@MITVMA.MIT.EDU with the command in the message body): SUB VIRUS-L Your_Full_Name where Your_Full_Name is your real name, not your userid. To unsubscribe, send: SIGNOFF VIRUS-L All other requests, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to the Coordinator. Coordinator: Kenneth R. van Wyk VISION-LIST@ADS.COM Discussion group for artificial intelligence vision researchers. The list is intended to embrace discussion on a wide range of vision topics, including physiological theory, computer vision, artificial intelligence technology applied to vision research, machine vision algorithms, industrial applications, robotic eyes, implemented systems, ideas, profound thoughts -- anything related to vision and its automation is fair game. Previous messages are available on request to Vision-List-Request@ADS.COM. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Vision-List-Request@ADS.COM. Moderator: Tod Levitt VM-UTIL A list for the discussion and redistribution of useful and interesting utilities for use by the VM/SP and CMS operating systems. There is also a FILELIST by the same name which will be used to store some of the utilities collected. The list is hosted at DEARN, MARIST, TECMTYVM, TREARN, UBVM, UCF1VM, and UTARLVM1. There is also a companion FILELIST available from the LISTSERV's at DEARN, MARIST, UBVM, UCF1VM, and UTARLVM1 which contains a lot of useful VM- and CMS-related utilities that people have contributed. If anyone is interested in contributing a utility to be stored in the FILELIST, they can send a note telling what they wish to contribute along with a description of each utility. Source code is prefered. To subscribe send the following command to LISTSERV@[one of the above hosts] (non-BitNet users send mail to LISTSERV%[one of the above].BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU) SUBSCRIBE VM-UTIL your_full_name To unsubscribe, send UNSUBSCRIBE VM-UTIL Coordinator: David Young VMVIRUS on LISTSERV@PCCVM After consulting with the folks 'attached' to VIRUS-L and seeing a void in the area of centralized information about VM, MVS, and VSE viri and worms, I have established a list VMVIRUS at my node. This list is open and public, but as the following text will describe, some files will be restricted. Be aware that a posting to this list will automatically be forwarded to VIRUS-L. ------------------------------------- This list has been established to act as a clearing house / archival location for comments and information concerning VM viruses and worms. The logs are public and your comments well be freely available to the network community. I intend to also store samples of source, object, and executable code for examination by selected persons. Commonly these files will only be available to NADs and other selected interested parties. Application may be made for code samples. Userid authenticity WILL BE verified prior to dispersal of infectious programs. So far the VM community has been spared many of the problems that currently plague the PC, MAC and Unix worlds. Let us hope that it remains that way. This archive is intended as a step in the direction to halt the spread of such malicious programming. While the name VMVIRUS implies a limitation to the VM environment, this list is open to comments by MVS and VSE users also. I would urge VM, MVS, and VSE sites to send samples of infectious code for storage. The following rules MUST be adhered to in the transmission of potentially harmful programs. 1. Send notification to myself (SYSMAINT@PCCVM) prior to transmission. 2. De-activate the code if possible 3. Transmit the code to SECURE@PCCVM 4. Do not include code in a 'mail-gram' This site maintains a 'filter' for known infectious materials, hence the required pre-transmission notification. Let all work together to restore the 'clean' computing environment that we used to have and to assist in the eradication / prosecution of offenders.

It's a very open list, and everyone is welcome to participate on it, whether you are a teacher, a professional, a student, or a kid or teenager yourself. What do I mean when I say "Children's Rights"? Well, I don't necessarily mean the rights for adults to "protect" children, because that "right" seems to be misused and misguided to ends that are, oftentimes, tragic, even with the 'best' intentions. That, of course, is open for discussion on this list, and I'm certain that it will come up at some point. In my ever changing view of rights for those under the `age of majority' (which is 18 or 21 in the United States, depending on how you view it, and different in other countries), I am looking more for changes in our judicial system, educational system, and our society, as a whole, to view youth as Human Beings first and foremost, before concerning themselves with the `correct manners to treat, mold and shape a child', as if s/he is just a ball of clay, and not a human being. So, with that, I welcome you. Come to talk, or come to listen. Speak up anytime, even if just to say "Hi, I'm still here...." To add yourself to the list, send an Interactive Message (BITNET) or a Mail message (any system) to LISTSERV@SJUVM with a single line: SUB Y-RIGHTS Firstname Lastname This particular LISTSERV takes a minimum of two names, but it can take three, four or more (for example, "J. P. Zelder Hoghorn III" is acceptable. "John" will not work). Owner: Kenneth Udut kudut@hamp.hampshire.edu kudut@hampvms.bitnet Also, there will soon be a Weekly Digest form of the list. The Digest will be an AFD (Automatic File Distribution) of the weekly Log, and will therefore not conform to RFC 1153 or RFC 934. I will post to New-List when the Digest Set-up is completed. --Ken YACHT-L%GREARN.BITNET@VM1.NODAK.EDU Yachting, Sailing, Design and amateur BoatBuilding mailing list.
