For those of you not previously aware of it, I maintain a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups (currently 756 lines or ~29,000 characters) on OFFICE-3 in file: <ALMSA>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT For ARPANET users, OFFICE-3 supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within FTP, with any password. To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, I have established a mailing list for list-of-lists \update notices/. I do not propose to send copies of the list itself to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, I will send a brief notice that a new version is available. For those counterparts at internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET FTP, I will send out the complete new file. I do \not/ intend to send file copies to individual users, either ARPANET or internet; our system is fairly heavily loaded, and we can't afford it. There is no particular pattern to the update frequency of INTEREST- GROUPS.TXT; I will occasionally receive a burst of new mailing-lists or perhaps a single change of address for a host or mailing-list coordinator, and then have a long period with no changes. To get on the list, send requests to ZELLICH@OFFICE-3, \not/ to the mailing-list this message appears in. Cheers, Rich -------
