This is a listing of special interest group mailing lists available on the Internet. It was started by Rich Zellich back when there was only an Arpanet, and is probably the oldest of the various "list of lists" available around the Internet. This compilation is copyrighted 1994, 1995 by Vivian Neou (vivian@sri.com). You are welcome to copy it to look at it online, but it may not be reproduced in any other form without written permission from me. This file is available via anonymous FTP on sri.com in the NETINFO directory in the file INTEREST-GROUPS. It may also be obtained through e-mail by sending a message to mail-server@sri.com with "send interest-groups" in the body of the message. ********************************************************************** I am looking for a few sites to list as official distribution points. If you store a copy of this list in a public area and are willing to have your site listed here please let me know. ********************************************************************** Official distribution locations: cu.nih.gov:network/interest.groups sri.com:[anonymous.netinfo]interest-groups.txt ** going away ** If you are putting up a copy of this list in a public place, please let me know so that I can let you know when new versions come out. If you see an old version of this list in a public repository on the net, please let me (or the owner of the repository) know. I don't produce a list of incremental changes to this list - you have to get the whole list. If you want to receive notices of new lists as they are created, check out the "NEW-LIST" list. I don't have time to respond to requests for searches for lists on specific topics - you'll have to pull the list and search it yourself (which you've probably already done if you're reading this). Since this is supposed to be a list of Internet lists, I'm trying to translate all of the BITNET addresses into direct Internet addresses. If you see one that I've missed, and know the correct address please let me know. If you are looking for a summary of BITNET lists, send a message to LISTSERV@BITNIC.EDUCOM.EDU with "list global" in the message body. If you find errors in the entries in this list, please let me know (especially if you find a listing for a defunct list). To submit updates for the description of an existing mailing-lists or to add a new listing, send a message to vivian@sri.com. Listings should include the following information: List Address: Subscription Address: List Management: (Majordomo, Listserv, Manual, etc) Owner: Description: Archive location and availability: How to join: List Traffic: (eg: around 3 messages/day) List owners: If you are sending in information about a list that has been around for awhile, please include information about the amount of traffic that the list gets. If you are starting a list, please send this information in (if you think of it) after the list has been around for a couple months. *** IMPORTANT *** IMPORTANT *** IMPORTANT *** IMPORTANT *** IMPORTANT *** * * For administrative requests about a list (like getting added or deleted, * asking about archive files, etc.) you write to the address listed under * "Subscription Address" *NOT* the "List Address". This gets you to the * list owner or an automated list processor, rather than to the membership * of the entire mailing list. If you goof and send an administrative * message to the entire mailing list you will probably get blasted by * irate list members. Save everyone grief by using the subscription * address for adminitrative requests! * *** IMPORTANT *** IMPORTANT *** IMPORTANT *** IMPORTANT *** IMPORTANT *** If the subscription address is a LISTSERV, send a message with "subscribe listname" in the BODY of the message to the subscription address. Some List Addresses do not look like a regular Internet e-mail address. In general, these are LISTSERV lists. To send a message to the list, look at the Subscription Address, and use that hostname along with the list name to send a message to the list. For example, to send a message to a list with a List Address called MYLIST with a Subscription Address of LISTSERV@MYDOMAIN.COM, send your message to MYLIST@MYDOMAIN.COM. Unix-based listservers usually require you to include your name in the subscription request, so the command in your request should be of the form "subscribe listname firstname lastname". Most automated list servers will send back an explanation of the correct command structure if you happen to get it wrong in your request. If the subscription address is MAILBASE, send a message with "join listname FirstName LastName" in the body of the message to the subscription address. How lists get on this list -------------------------- There are a number of ways that lists get added to this list: I watch the announcements on NEW-LIST, list owners (or interested members) send me information, and I spend time (when I have it) looking around the net for interesting lists. I do this so that the book that is based on this list will have up-to-date information, and I make this list freely available on the Internet because I'm a nice person :). Just in case you are wondering why you should buy the book if you can get the online list at no cost I'll tell you: the book is fully indexed, and descriptions are listed by subject rather than by listname; it comes with a complete description of list management software (vs the two paragraphs I've included in this file); it comes with software that will automatically subscribe and unsubscribe you from lists; and most importantly :) royalties from the book pay for the time that I spend updating this file. The book will be coming out later this year (watch here for more information). If you're anxious to buy a book now, you can get a hardcopy, indexed version of the June, 1993 edition of this list under the title "Internet: Mailing Lists". The ISBN number for this book is 0-13-289661-3. It is available in many bookstores, and may be ordered directly from Prentice Hall by calling 515-284-6751. One note of warning: the lists in this book are sorted alphabetically rather than by subject as they are in the new book. ======================================================================== 3COM-L%NUSVM.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV%NUSVM.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU Owner: Chandra Liem, CCECL@NUSVM.BITNET Description: This mailing list is to discuss 3Com products, such as 3+ Network, 3+Open LAN Manager, 3+Open TCP, 3+/3+Open Mail, NDIS, MultiConnect Repeater, LanScanner, 3Com Ethernet Cards etc. Archives of 3COM-L discussions can be listed by sending the command INDEX 3COM-L to LISTSERV@NUSVM.BITNET 3D@lbl.gov Subscription Address: 3D-REQUEST@LBL.GOV Owner: John Bercovitz, JHBercovitz@lbl.gov Last Update: 5/10/94 Description: An unmoderated list for discussing 3-D (Stereo) photography.

This list is a place to send lists of books, not to discuss books. The idea behind this list is that you get a list of every book you've read, categorize the books into groups that you like and dislike, post the list. Feel free to make up categories. The point is that from time to time you'll see a list from someone who seems to have similar tastes to yours, and hopefully there will be a whole slew of books that person loved that you haven't read. Bear in mind that very few people have taste as good as you do. Most of the lists will be from people whose taste is inferior to yours. Their lists are potentially very, very long. Just delete those letters. Don't bother trying to reeducate cretins. They don't know good literature when they see it and can't be taught.

Not everyone on the list is 100% pro-child-free, but all have valuable insights and ideas about what being childless has meant in their lives, and all are accepting of the childless state as a good and valuable lifestyle choice. Abuse of this list is not tolerated. Typical discussions include fighting with internal voices about "the natural order of things", dealing with the misconception about not being a REAL woman if you don't want to have a child, battling family expectations and societial pressures such as giving our parents grandchildren, and the prejudices, questions, and general nosiness that we who remain child-free have to face in this kids-oriented society.

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. 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. 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. 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.

LYMENET-L@LEHIGH.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@Lehigh.EDU Owner: Marc Gabriel Last Update: 3/10/93 Description: Lyme Disease is now the fastest growing infectious disease in the United States. In 10 short years, this little known bacterial infection has claimed half a million victims and the number of new patients continues to spiral upward with no relief in sight. It is estimated that in 1991, 100,000 Americans contracted this dangerous disease. If left untreated, LD can cause permanent nerve, musculoskeletal and cardiac damage. Unfortunately, many in the medical and political arenas have not given this epidemic much thought. Self appointed experts in the academic community have declared that LD can always be cured with short courses of simple antibiotics. However, as the number of cases rise, doctors on the front lines are discovering that LD is more serious that previously suspected, requiring longer treatment therapies and more complex combinations of medicines. The battle lines have been drawn. And the battles continue at LD conferences, and in the various State legislatures where insurance companies, terrified at the high cost of LD, are attempting to short change patients. Estimates show that the average cost of treatment for chronic LD patients ranges from $60,000 to $100,000 per patient. This list provides an avenue to keep up with the latest developments, including new treatment protocols, research news and political events. LymeNet, in association with the Lyme Disease Network of New Jersey, Inc., provides a periodic newsletter with the latest information.

PEIRCE-L Subscription Address: LISTPROC@UNICORN.ACS.TTU.EDU Owner: Joseph Ransdell Description: This list is open to the discussion of all topics pertaining to the work of the American philosopher/logician/scientist Charles Sanders Peirce. Since Peirce is especially associated not only with topics in logic and the philosophy of science, but also with theory of representation and interpretation ("semiotic"), and with the conception of thought as essentially communicational and social, the list is highly interdisciplinary in membership and discussion content. But the intention is to keep continuing focus on the philosophical basis of his thought as well as its special applications, and to encourage discussion which is philosophical in content and attitude. The list was begun in August 1993. The membership of PEIRCE-L, which already includes people from some two dozen countries and from a remarkable range of disciplines, is not limited to those with academic posts or connections, and its members have found no difficulty in sustaining discussion at a high level of rigor, a vigorous pace, and a geniality of attitude without need for recourse to heavy-handed moderation. There is no standing agenda except the promotion of philosophical conversation, and it was founded in the belief that a common interest in Peirce's work would turn out to provide an unusually good pretext for people getting together on-line to do that. Observers as well as active participants are welcome: this is a public forum. List-based discussion in the liberal arts is in some ways more akin to oral than to written discourse, and its rhythms and achievements are perhaps best compared with the kind of communication that occurs in public squares in those countries which have managed to maintain pre-modern traditions of informal public gathering. Yet there is a difference, too, in that all discussion is recorded, retrievable, and searchable by textstring with Boolean operators, and the responses posted in PEIRCE-L are frequently long enough and well-enough developed conceptually to make the advantage of written discourse readily apparent, too. Facilities for a member-donated library of pre-prints, work-in-progress, and other secondary materials, and of primary material by Peirce himself in digitized form, are in preparation. The list also serves as an information resource for professional activities. This list is sponsored by the Department of Philosophy at Texas Tech University, and by The Peirce Telecommunity Project/Electronic Peirce Consortium. PEN-PALS Subscription Address: PEN-PALS-REQUEST@MAINSTREAM.COM Last Update: 8/22/94 Description: To provide a forum for children to correspond electronically with each other.

This list is managed by listproc.

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS.EDU Subscription Address: POLI-SCI-REQUEST@RUTGERS.EDU Owner: JoSH Hall Description: 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).

POPULATION-BIOLOGY Subscription Address: BIOSCI-SERVER@NET.BIO.NET Owner: Vincent Bauchau Description: 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. This list is gatewayed to the newsgroup bionet.population-bio.

SHOGI-L%TECHNION.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@TECHNION.TECHNION.AC.IL Owner: Chris Sterritt , Pieter Stouten Description: SHOGI-L, the Shogi Discussion List, is a mailing list started on May 6, 1990 about the strategic board game of Shogi. The list serves 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.

TOOLB-L@AFSYSB.UARK.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@AFSYSB.UARK.EDU Owner: Ken Schriner Last Update: 10/12/91 Description: This list provides a discussion of Asymetrix ToolBook software, application development, and it's integration into a multimedia environment. University of Arkansas serves as host to the listserver. TOOLB-L is a 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. This list is a joint effort between the Kansas University Medical Center and the University of Arkansas.

Passmore Description: TRDEV-L provides a forum for the exchange of information on the training and the development of human resources. Training is designed to improved human work performance on the job, and development prepares employees to adjust and grow with the organization. Training and development plays a strategic role in organization performance, and human resource professionals have a responsibility to explore their field and to expand their knowledge base. Participation in activities such as TRDEV-L assist in accomplishing this task. The primary focus of this list is to stimulate research collaboration and assistance in training and development for the academic and professional communities. We invite the discussion of policy and practice issues, the posting of position announcements, pre-publication drafts of manuscripts, and news and reports of conferences. Because of rapid changes in technology, traditional sources of this type of information are no longer adequate. With this in mind, the Institute for Research in Training and Development at Penn State University in cooperation with The University Research Council in Human Resource Development initiated this network for the ongoing and timely exchange of information in this field. This discussion group, managed by the Training and Development Society Graduate Student Organization at Penn State, was developed and field-tested through a grant from the Technical Foundation of America. Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can obtain a list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX TRDEV-L" command to the subscription address. These files can then be retrieved by means of a "GET TRDEV-L filetype" command. TREK-REVIEW-L@CORNELL.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@CORNELL.EDU Owner: Uncle Mikey Last Update: 3/12/93 Description: TREK-REVIEW-L exists as a noise-free forum for reviews of Star Trek material. This category includes but is not limited to television programs, feature films, novels and novelizations, comic books, games and parodies of Star Trek. The list is not rooted in any specific generation of Trek. Original Series, Animated Series, Movie Era, Next Generation and Deep Space Nine materials are all valid. One way to perceive this list is as a kind of edited electronic fanzine. Where 'rec.arts.startrek.info' is a kind of Trek newspaper, containing only hard news and plot summaries, this mailing list exists for critical opinion features written by and for the electronic mail audience. There are three categories of acceptable submission: review, rating, and comment. 'REVIEW' is defined as a CRITICAL essay about either a specific work or Star Trek in general. Posts of the form, 'I thought that TNG's latest episode, "Foo on Picard" was the awesomest episode ever' or, similarly, 'I thought that DSN's latest episode, "O'Brien Gets Drunk" sucked backwards' are not acceptable. 'RATING' is defined as a graded or numeric rating. If you wish to merely register your opinion without critical comment, then you may send such a rating to the list address. Ratings collected in this manner, as well as copied from reviews, will be posted periodically on a per-episode basis. 'COMMENT' is defined as a CRITICAL response to a review. This is not a discussion list; however, CRITICAL responses to reviews sent to the list address which the moderator believes to be of general interest will be bundled together and published in digest format as a 'letter column'. Submissions should be sent to 'TREK-REVIEW-L@cornell.edu'. Accepted submissions are acknowledged by publication. Rejected submissions will be acknowledged by a return letter, explaining why the submission was rejected. What the list isn't for: The list is not a discussion list. Neither, however, is it intended to displace 'rec.arts.startrek.current' as another home for reviews. Rather, it is intended as an alternative access point to critical opinion about Star Trek for people who find 'rec.arts.startrek.current' overwhelming or cannot access it for some reason. It is expected that many of the reviews posted to the list will also find their way (assumedly at their author's hands) onto 'r.a.s.current'. That, therefore, is where discussion should take place. The list is not for press releases or plot summaries without commentary. That's why we have 'rec.arts.startrek.info' (thank you, Jim!) The list is not for the redistribution of commercially published reviews, with or without permission. It is for the posting of comments for and by members of the various electronic networks that make up or exchange mail with The Internet. The list is not intended as a replacement for proposals to create a 'rec.arts.startrek.reviews' newsgroup. Rather, it exists to fill the gap some feel such a group would also fill until efforts to create such a newsgroup are successful. Neither, however, will that newsgroup necessarily mean the end of this list. TRICKLE-L@UNL.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@UNL.EDU Owner: Richard Mead Last Update: 7/20/94 Description: Trickle-L is a mail list hosted by the listserver at University of Nebraska - Lincoln.

TRNSPLNT@WUVMD.WUSTL.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@WUVMD.WUSTL.EDU Owner: Dan Flasar Description: TRNSPLNT is a discussion list for organ transplant recipients and anyone else intested in the issues, experiences and realities of living with an organ trasplant. Over the last 30 years, the number of transplants performed each year has grown steadily in both absolute numbers and type of organs transplanted. Though there are hospital, clinical and pharmaceutical industry-sponsored newsletters, there are few, if any, completely independent discussion forums for those who have experienced this oftentimes dramaticaly effective therapy. There are many life issues for the transplant patient that are simply not covered in medical literature or by medical personnel. TRNSPLNT will provide a way for members to share information on such things as as travel, both domestic and abroad, how to deal with a compromised immune system, stories about transplant experiences, and anything that the members feel is worth discussing. Archives of TRNSPLNT postings can be listed by sending an "INDEX TRNSPLNT" command to LISTSERV@WUVMD.WUSTL.EDU. NOTE: This is NOT a medical forum! Though advice may be offered, you should, as with any medical issue, check with your physician before you accept anything said in this forum as a basis for doing anything that might affect your physical condition! TROLLOPE@WORLD.STD.COM Subscription Address: MAJORDOMO@WORLD.STD.COM Owner: Elizabeth Thomsen Description: TROLLOPE is a list devoted to the discussion of all aspects of the life and works of 19th century English author Anthony Trollope.

TV2NITE-L Subscription Address: LISTSERV@NETCOM.COM Owner: Michael Nist Last Update: 10/18/94 Description: TV2NITE-L is the mailing list which is used to distribute a daily guide to America's favorite pastime: watching prime time network and cable television. It was been designed for those of us who don't get complete cable listings in their newspaper (or don't get a newspaper), and/or don't want to shell out $40 a year for TV Guide. It's also for people who just like the idea of having their evening's entertainment choices pop up on their computer screen every day when they log in. Every morning, you'll get a new e-mail which summarizes the evening's best viewing, followed by a complete programming guide for all major broadcast and cable networks. This will include cable stations that many major newspapers don't have the space to list, such as Comedy Central, the Science Fiction channel, MTV, etc. It will also let you know who's scheduled to appear on the evening's late night talk shows. Of course, even those of us blessed with 70 channels sometimes experience an evening where there isn't a thing on the tube we have any desire to see. So the list editors will also let you know when new videos are released, on the day they're due to hit the stores. One cautionary note: listings are not provided for local stations so you won't see listings for syndicated shows like the "Star Trek" series, or for your local PBS station. TWAIN-L@VM1.YORKU.CA Subscription Address: LISTSERV@VM1.YORKU.CA Owner: Taylor Roberts Description: The Mark Twain Forum is for persons having a scholarly interest in the life and writings of Mark Twain.

Wadlow Description: 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 the subscription address and include "urbanites-request" in your subject line.

UTS-L@VM.GMD.DE Subscription Address: LISTSERV@VM.GMD.DE Owner: Doug Sewell Description: Mailing list for discussion of Amdahl's UTS/580 implementation of Unix and for software running in the UTS environment. 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), so this list does not replace info-unix, unix-wiz, aix-l, or any other mailing list. Postings not specific to UTS should be posted to one of those lists, instead. The list is gatewayed to the newsgroup bit.listserv.uts-l. 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. 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.

The list's intent is to provide a forum for sharing of UU-related information across district and regional boundaries; to bring into contact people and ideas who normally would never have met; and to foster discussion of functional and structural innovations we can make in our organizations and world. Electronic conferencing, mail, and the paradigms they encourage are something that most members of this list have a growing familiarity with. These are tools which are already having an impact more profound than the other major influence on human religion and politics; the printing press. The effects these tools can have on an organization are manyfold; better, cheaper, more effective communications; improved dynamics for far-flung groups; and insight into the processes that make up even non-electronic communications.

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 submission address. 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 the subscription address 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.).

Commonly these files will only be available to NADs and other selected interested parties. Application may be made for code samples.

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. The list owner urges 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 the list owner 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.

WWW-BUYINFO Subscription Address: WWW-BUYINFO-REQUEST@ALLEGRA.ATT.COM Owner: Dave Kristol Last Update: 8/16/94 Description: The purpose of the mailing list is to discuss topics related to to the use of WWW for purchased information. Potential information providers would willingly make a vast array of information available on the World-Wide Web (WWW) if they knew they could get paid for it. The system should work like this: using your favorite WWW client program, when you select a hypertext link ("buyinfo link") that reaches a server that charges money for the information, the server informs the client program (via HTTP) that there is an associated charge and lists the available payment options. The client can give up, either because it has no payment capability or because the user chooses not to buy the information. Otherwise the client passes the server some information (via HTTP) that will enable the server to be reimbursed for the information. The server then returns that purchased information. If the client is designed in a way that the user can make money available beforehand (and with a suitable user-protection interface), a user could traverse buyinfo links effortlessly, and the financial details would occur invisibly. These components are required to implement the vision: http: to allow the exchange of cost and payment information; client/server application programmer interfaces (APIs) that make it easy to add different kinds of payment schemes; clients that provide an attractive, convenient, safe interface to support payment; ways to support transactions in multiple currencies. Other relevant topics for this mailing list: the privacy of financial transactions; authentication of payers; the efficiency of payment schemes. This mailing list is NOT for discussion about: whether charging for information is a good idea or how to exchange orders electronically. Mail archives are available at: ftp.research.att.com:/dist/www-buyinfo-archive/ WWW-HTML Subscription Address: LISTSERV@INFO.CERN.CH Last Update: 1/31/95 Description: This list is for technical discussions of the HyperText Markup Language, HTML and its future design.

WWWORDER@EINET.NET Subscription Address: LISTPROC@EINET.NET Owner: Glenn Fleishman Description: World-Wide Web Order Forms mailing list. This list was started to discuss the issue of creating catalogs in World-Wide Web format from which orders may be placed. Someone browsing a WWW database of items should be able to tag those items on the pages on which they see them and a create a running list. Since WWW is modeless, and there's no particular concept of a session, some imposed method of tagging that user and their entries must be used to identify an individual and a session. The user selects items to purchase or otherwise group from various HTML pages. At any time, they can leap to an order form or summary document that shows everything that they have chosen so far. When their selections are complete--they must choose some arbitrary stopping point, much like filling in a paper order form in a catalog--they submit this form. The HTTP server should be able to compile all the tagged items into an order form and send it back in HTML form to the user. Further, some lookup through an external database--possibly SQL based--should return values for each item if at all possible. In the case of a catalog with orderable items, the server should receive the completed form and reply with a filled out form showing unit prices, totals, shipping, and other costs. They could then confirm the order and the total. Some of this is currently possible via CGI and Forms, but it's not necessarily implemented anywhere. Because WWW is inherently non-interactive as well as modeless, it's not easy to prompt for information that's required without a lot of back and forth. Possibly the answer is customized HTML browsers that can support order forms inherently and have true interactivity (but not modes). Possibly, it's all feasible using the existing and burgeoning technology. Also of interest to the subscribers of this list is the related subject of how an order can be processed, including authentification of users and credit card information.

Y-RIGHTS@SJUVM.STJOHNS.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@SJUVM.STJOHNS.EDU Owner: Kenneth Udut Last Update: 1/28/92 Description: As the title suggests, this list is on the discussion of the rights of kids and teenagers (called Y-Rights for "Youth Rights", or "Youngster's Rights" or "Why Rights?" -- whichever strikes your fancy). 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.
