The first issue of the UUCP Network Directory will be
coming off of the presses on about May 1, barring any unforeseen
disasters. Since the first press run will be limited, those of
you wishing to obtain copies should place your orders as soon as
possible. The price is $10.95 if you are either listed in the
directory or if you provide enough information to be listed in
the next issue (the minimum required to be listed is your name
and a valid UUCP address). If you don't want to be listed, or if
you don't have access to UUCP, the price is $15.95. You must
include your UUCP address with your order to qualify for the $5
discount. There is $1.25 shipping and handling, and sales tax in
California. Subscriptions are available for $40/year if you're
listed, $65 if you're not, including shipping and handling (plus
tax in CA) - that's for 4 quarterly issues. We will not knowingly
provide copies of the Directory to potential abusers.
The first issue will have over 800 people listed, and
should be over 30 pages long. It will be typeset in 5.5 x 8.5
inch format. The entries consist of people's names & UUCP
addresses and optionally their work phone, home address, home
phone, and one line about them. We are hoping to provide some
site and route information in future editions - the exact timing
and content depends to some extent on the public domain mapping
efforts now underway by Rob Kolstad et. al. (cbosgd!uucpmap).
Over the next two weeks or so, we will be mailing out
"final confirmation" notes to everyone who is listed in the
Directory. This is to give people a chance to correct any
mistakes in their directory entry before publication. It also
gives us a chance to make sure there is a valid mail route and
mailbox for everyone listed, and lets everyone who is listed know
for sure that they are going to be listed. People who send in new
entries before April 10 are guaranteed to be included in the
first edition. Send your entry to idi!uucpdir, and include as
much of the information mentioned above as you want listed - or
just type "r-" after this article and I can send you a template
to fill in, if you'd rather.
Orders should be sent to the following address. No
purchase orders, please (except by special arrangement).
