seismo!vtisr1!irlistrq (UUCP)
fox@vpi (CSNET)
foxea@vtvax3 or fox@vtcs1 (BITNET)
IRList is open to discussion of any topic related to information retrieval.
Certainly, any material relating to ACM SIGIR is of interest. The IR field
has close ties to artificial intelligence, database management, information
and library science, linguistics,... A partial list of topics suitable are:
Information Management/Processing/Science/Technology
AI Applications to IR Indexing
Abstracting Information Display

Contributions may be anything from tutorials to rampant speculation. In
particular, the following are sought:
Abstracts Reviews
Lab Descriptions Research Overviews
Work Planned or in Progress Half-Baked Ideas
Conference Announcements Conference Reports
Bibliographies History of IR
Queries and Requests Address Changes
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.
Please "sign" subscriptions with full name and address so that people can
access you from Internet and/or BITNET (many other networks can be reached
through them and are certainly urged to participate).
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.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask IRList-Request
for recent back issues. Note that FTP is not possible, so all communication
must be by EMAIL, phone, or letter.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to vtisr1!irlistrq@SEISMO.CSS.GOV,
seismo!vtisr1!irlistrq (UUCP), fox@vpi (CSNET), or foxea@vtvax3 or fox@vtcs1

LIST OF MAILING LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~140 lists/2600+ lines/120,000+ characters) on SRI-NIC in files:
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-1.TXT (first half of the list)
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-2.TXT (second half of the list)
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET
FTP, the complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not
normally be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>
Love-Hounds@MIT-Eddie

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
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).

PROLOG[-HACKERS]@SU-SCORE
Prolog and logic programming mailing lists.
Some of the people answering the initial BBoard message stated that they
would be interested in general Prolog and logic programming information, but
not in the nitty-gritty details of Prolog systems and their bugs. Therefore,
two mailing lists have been set up, PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS: PROLOG will
provide a digest of articles of general interest; PROLOG-HACKERS will
provide a direct mailing for the nasty stuff. Finally, PROLOG-REQUEST
should be used for distribution requests. In a nutshell:
Mail to for
------- ---
PROLOG@SCORE sending articles of general interest
PROLOG-HACKERS@SCORE sending articles of limited interest
PROLOG-REQUEST@SCORE getting in and out of the mailing lists
and other bureaucracy
Please do not send the same message to PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS. Messages
will be moved between lists if appropriate.

Mailing list for Scribe hackers; designed for persons who perform the role
of Scribe Database Administrator at their installation. Discussion will be
about Scribe features, bugs, enhancements, performance, support, and other
topics of interest to Scribe DBAs. The list will NOT be moderated, but will
simply consist of a mail "reflector" - ie. if you send a message to the
list, it will be rebroadcast to everyone on the list. Discussion at the
level of "How do I get a paragraph to indent 5 spaces instead of 3?" is
specifically discouraged.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

SECURITY@RUTGERS
This list is designed to provide a forum for discussion of the field of
security in general, be it electronic, physical, or computer-related. Since
the original idea was to name this list LOCKSMITHS, discussions about
physical security and hardware are welcomed, but to broaden out into
computer security and electronic access control and such is also valid. In
other words, any subject matter relating to the *improvement* and
*implementation* of security systems is okay, while how to *defeat* them is
not. Messages are not digestified, but are filtered to keep things of
questionable legality/ content from escaping out to the network.

SF-CONS LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging 1000-1500 lines or 55,000-75,000
characters, including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet,
etc.), the complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies
will \not/ be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG, flyers
picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the list maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send messages
to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>.
SF-LOVERS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of books and films. The range of topics is quite
wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics of
interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 11 is the current
volume A/O Jan 86. Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in

SMAuG^.X@Xerox.ARPA
Mailing list for communication of ideas about SMAuG (Simultaneous Multiple
AdventUrer Game). SMAuG is an applied research project designed to probe
the problems of distributing the work of a complex piece of software across
local intelligent devices and a remote timesharing computer. The software
being creating is an adventure game allowing multiple players. Players may
be controlled by either human users or planning software. The project is
potentially enormous and much paring of capabilities is expected. The
primary goals of the project are:
Error free communication protocol
Simple control of local intelligent devices
Centralized database with local caching of unchanging data objects
Local processing of user commands (to offload central system)
An adventure game
This project is an offshoot of a locally funded research grant examining the
interaction of local intelligent devices and remote timesharing systems.
Since January 1, 1984 we have been sponsored by the Rutgers Center for
Computer and Information Services. We hope to produce software useful to
other members of the University computing community with this project. Two
such pieces of software are a remote file access system, and a universal
window oriented terminal handler.
The SMAuG group meets every Wednesday evening from 8pm until 10pm at Rutgers
University in Hill Center room 318. Hill Center is located on Busch Campus
in Piscataway, New Jersey. Requests for detailed directions should be sent
to Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA. If you are coming any distance to attend a
meeting please contact Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA, sometimes the meetings are
held elsewhere, and announcements of this are only distributed locally in
the Rutgers area. Your attendance is, however, very welcome!
There is a separate mailing-list for SMAuG Storywriters:
SMAuG-Story^.X@Xerox.ARPA; archives for this list are available from
Fischer.PA@Xerox.ARPA.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, back issue requests,

Please "sign" subscriptions with full name and address so that people can
access you from Internet and/or BITNET (many other networks can be reached
through them and are certainly urged to participate).
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.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask IRList-Request
for recent back issues. Note that FTP is not possible, so all communication
must be by EMAIL, phone, or letter.

LIST OF MAILING LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~140 lists/2600+ lines/120,000+ characters) on SRI-NIC in files:
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-1.TXT (first half of the list)
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-2.TXT (second half of the list)
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET
FTP, the complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not
normally be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>
Love-Hounds@MIT-Eddie

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
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:

PROLOG[-HACKERS]@SU-SCORE
Prolog and logic programming mailing lists.
Some of the people answering the initial BBoard message stated that they
would be interested in general Prolog and logic programming information, but
not in the nitty-gritty details of Prolog systems and their bugs. Therefore,
two mailing lists have been set up, PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS: PROLOG will
provide a digest of articles of general interest; PROLOG-HACKERS will
provide a direct mailing for the nasty stuff. Finally, PROLOG-REQUEST
should be used for distribution requests. In a nutshell:
Mail to for
------- ---
PROLOG@SCORE sending articles of general interest
PROLOG-HACKERS@SCORE sending articles of limited interest
PROLOG-REQUEST@SCORE getting in and out of the mailing lists
and other bureaucracy
Please do not send the same message to PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS. Messages
will be moved between lists if appropriate.
An archive of the USEnet prolog interest group interchange can be FTP'd from

of Scribe Database Administrator at their installation. Discussion will be
about Scribe features, bugs, enhancements, performance, support, and other
topics of interest to Scribe DBAs. The list will NOT be moderated, but will
simply consist of a mail "reflector" - ie. if you send a message to the
list, it will be rebroadcast to everyone on the list. Discussion at the
level of "How do I get a paragraph to indent 5 spaces instead of 3?" is
specifically discouraged.

SECURITY@RUTGERS
This list is designed to provide a forum for discussion of the field of
security in general, be it electronic, physical, or computer-related. Since
the original idea was to name this list LOCKSMITHS, discussions about
physical security and hardware are welcomed, but to broaden out into
computer security and electronic access control and such is also valid. In
other words, any subject matter relating to the *improvement* and
*implementation* of security systems is okay, while how to *defeat* them is
not. Messages are not digestified, but are filtered to keep things of
questionable legality/ content from escaping out to the network.

SF-CONS LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging 1000-1500 lines or 55,000-75,000
characters, including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet,
etc.), the complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies
will \not/ be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG, flyers
picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the list maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send messages
to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>.
SF-LOVERS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of books and films. The range of topics is quite
wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics of
interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

of Tenex disk pages, the second is the number of characters in the file,
for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 11 is the current
volume A/O Jan 86. Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in

SMAuG^.X@Xerox.ARPA
Mailing list for communication of ideas about SMAuG (Simultaneous Multiple
AdventUrer Game). SMAuG is an applied research project designed to probe
the problems of distributing the work of a complex piece of software across
local intelligent devices and a remote timesharing computer. The software
being creating is an adventure game allowing multiple players. Players may
be controlled by either human users or planning software. The project is
potentially enormous and much paring of capabilities is expected. The
primary goals of the project are:
Error free communication protocol
Simple control of local intelligent devices
Centralized database with local caching of unchanging data objects
Local processing of user commands (to offload central system)
An adventure game
This project is an offshoot of a locally funded research grant examining the
interaction of local intelligent devices and remote timesharing systems.
Since January 1, 1984 we have been sponsored by the Rutgers Center for
Computer and Information Services. We hope to produce software useful to
other members of the University computing community with this project. Two
such pieces of software are a remote file access system, and a universal
window oriented terminal handler.
The SMAuG group meets every Wednesday evening from 8pm until 10pm at Rutgers
University in Hill Center room 318. Hill Center is located on Busch Campus
in Piscataway, New Jersey. Requests for detailed directions should be sent
to Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA. If you are coming any distance to attend a
meeting please contact Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA, sometimes the meetings are
held elsewhere, and announcements of this are only distributed locally in
the Rutgers area. Your attendance is, however, very welcome!
There is a separate mailing-list for SMAuG Storywriters:
SMAuG-Story^.X@Xerox.ARPA; archives for this list are available from
Fischer.PA@Xerox.ARPA.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, back issue requests,

IRList is open to discussion of any topic related to information retrieval.
Certainly, any material relating to ACM SIGIR is of interest. The IR field
has close ties to artificial intelligence, database management, information
and library science, linguistics,... A partial list of topics suitable are:
Information Management/Processing/Science/Technology
AI Applications to IR Indexing
Abstracting Information Display

Bibliographies History of IR
Queries and Requests Address Changes
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.
Please "sign" subscriptions with full name and address so that people can
access you from Internet and/or BITNET (many other networks can be reached
through them and are certainly urged to participate).
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.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask IRList-Request
for recent back issues. Note that FTP is not possible, so all communication
must be by EMAIL, phone, or letter.

LIST OF MAILING LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~140 lists/2600+ lines/120,000+ characters) on SRI-NIC in files:
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-1.TXT (first half of the list)
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-2.TXT (second half of the list)
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET
FTP, the complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not
normally be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>
Love-Hounds@MIT-Eddie

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
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:

PROLOG[-HACKERS]@SU-SCORE
Prolog and logic programming mailing lists.
Some of the people answering the initial BBoard message stated that they
would be interested in general Prolog and logic programming information, but
not in the nitty-gritty details of Prolog systems and their bugs. Therefore,
two mailing lists have been set up, PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS: PROLOG will
provide a digest of articles of general interest; PROLOG-HACKERS will
provide a direct mailing for the nasty stuff. Finally, PROLOG-REQUEST
should be used for distribution requests. In a nutshell:
Mail to for
------- ---
PROLOG@SCORE sending articles of general interest
PROLOG-HACKERS@SCORE sending articles of limited interest
PROLOG-REQUEST@SCORE getting in and out of the mailing lists
and other bureaucracy
Please do not send the same message to PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS. Messages
will be moved between lists if appropriate.

SECURITY@RUTGERS
This list is designed to provide a forum for discussion of the field of
security in general, be it electronic, physical, or computer-related. Since
the original idea was to name this list LOCKSMITHS, discussions about
physical security and hardware are welcomed, but to broaden out into
computer security and electronic access control and such is also valid. In
other words, any subject matter relating to the *improvement* and
*implementation* of security systems is okay, while how to *defeat* them is
not. Messages are not digestified, but are filtered to keep things of
questionable legality/ content from escaping out to the network.

SF-CONS LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging 1000-1500 lines or 55,000-75,000
characters, including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet,
etc.), the complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies
will \not/ be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG, flyers
picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the list maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send messages
to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>.
SF-LOVERS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of books and films. The range of topics is quite
wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics of
interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

of Tenex disk pages, the second is the number of characters in the file,
for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 11 is the current
volume A/O Jan 86. Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in

SMAuG^.X@Xerox.ARPA
Mailing list for communication of ideas about SMAuG (Simultaneous Multiple
AdventUrer Game). SMAuG is an applied research project designed to probe
the problems of distributing the work of a complex piece of software across
local intelligent devices and a remote timesharing computer. The software
being creating is an adventure game allowing multiple players. Players may
be controlled by either human users or planning software. The project is
potentially enormous and much paring of capabilities is expected. The
primary goals of the project are:
Error free communication protocol
Simple control of local intelligent devices
Centralized database with local caching of unchanging data objects
Local processing of user commands (to offload central system)
An adventure game
This project is an offshoot of a locally funded research grant examining the
interaction of local intelligent devices and remote timesharing systems.
Since January 1, 1984 we have been sponsored by the Rutgers Center for
Computer and Information Services. We hope to produce software useful to
other members of the University computing community with this project. Two
such pieces of software are a remote file access system, and a universal
window oriented terminal handler.
The SMAuG group meets every Wednesday evening from 8pm until 10pm at Rutgers
University in Hill Center room 318. Hill Center is located on Busch Campus
in Piscataway, New Jersey. Requests for detailed directions should be sent
to Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA. If you are coming any distance to attend a
meeting please contact Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA, sometimes the meetings are
held elsewhere, and announcements of this are only distributed locally in
the Rutgers area. Your attendance is, however, very welcome!
There is a separate mailing-list for SMAuG Storywriters:
SMAuG-Story^.X@Xerox.ARPA; archives for this list are available from
Fischer.PA@Xerox.ARPA.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, back issue requests,

Please "sign" subscriptions with full name and address so that people can
access you from Internet and/or BITNET (many other networks can be reached
through them and are certainly urged to participate).
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.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask IRList-Request
for recent back issues. Note that FTP is not possible, so all communication
must be by EMAIL, phone, or letter.

LIST OF MAILING LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~140 lists/2600+ lines/120,000+ characters) on SRI-NIC in files:
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-1.TXT (first half of the list)
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-2.TXT (second half of the list)
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET
FTP, the complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not
normally be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>
Love-Hounds@MIT-Eddie

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
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).

PROLOG[-HACKERS]@SU-SCORE
Prolog and logic programming mailing lists.
Some of the people answering the initial BBoard message stated that they
would be interested in general Prolog and logic programming information, but
not in the nitty-gritty details of Prolog systems and their bugs. Therefore,
two mailing lists have been set up, PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS: PROLOG will
provide a digest of articles of general interest; PROLOG-HACKERS will
provide a direct mailing for the nasty stuff. Finally, PROLOG-REQUEST
should be used for distribution requests. In a nutshell:
Mail to for
------- ---
PROLOG@SCORE sending articles of general interest
PROLOG-HACKERS@SCORE sending articles of limited interest
PROLOG-REQUEST@SCORE getting in and out of the mailing lists
and other bureaucracy
Please do not send the same message to PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS. Messages
will be moved between lists if appropriate.

SECURITY@RUTGERS
This list is designed to provide a forum for discussion of the field of
security in general, be it electronic, physical, or computer-related. Since
the original idea was to name this list LOCKSMITHS, discussions about
physical security and hardware are welcomed, but to broaden out into
computer security and electronic access control and such is also valid. In
other words, any subject matter relating to the *improvement* and
*implementation* of security systems is okay, while how to *defeat* them is
not. Messages are not digestified, but are filtered to keep things of
questionable legality/ content from escaping out to the network.

SF-CONS LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging 1000-1500 lines or 55,000-75,000
characters, including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet,
etc.), the complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies
will \not/ be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG, flyers
picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the list maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send messages
to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>.
SF-LOVERS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of books and films. The range of topics is quite
wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics of
interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 11 is the current
volume A/O Jan 86. Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in

SMAuG^.X@Xerox.ARPA
Mailing list for communication of ideas about SMAuG (Simultaneous Multiple
AdventUrer Game). SMAuG is an applied research project designed to probe
the problems of distributing the work of a complex piece of software across
local intelligent devices and a remote timesharing computer. The software
being creating is an adventure game allowing multiple players. Players may
be controlled by either human users or planning software. The project is
potentially enormous and much paring of capabilities is expected. The
primary goals of the project are:
Error free communication protocol
Simple control of local intelligent devices
Centralized database with local caching of unchanging data objects
Local processing of user commands (to offload central system)
An adventure game
This project is an offshoot of a locally funded research grant examining the
interaction of local intelligent devices and remote timesharing systems.
Since January 1, 1984 we have been sponsored by the Rutgers Center for
Computer and Information Services. We hope to produce software useful to
other members of the University computing community with this project. Two
such pieces of software are a remote file access system, and a universal
window oriented terminal handler.
The SMAuG group meets every Wednesday evening from 8pm until 10pm at Rutgers
University in Hill Center room 318. Hill Center is located on Busch Campus
in Piscataway, New Jersey. Requests for detailed directions should be sent
to Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA. If you are coming any distance to attend a
meeting please contact Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA, sometimes the meetings are
held elsewhere, and announcements of this are only distributed locally in
the Rutgers area. Your attendance is, however, very welcome!
There is a separate mailing-list for SMAuG Storywriters:
SMAuG-Story^.X@Xerox.ARPA; archives for this list are available from
Fischer.PA@Xerox.ARPA.

Queries and Requests Address Changes
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.
Please "sign" subscriptions with full name and address so that people can
access you from Internet and/or BITNET (many other networks can be reached
through them and are certainly urged to participate).
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.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask IRList-Request
for recent back issues. Note that FTP is not possible, so all communication
must be by EMAIL, phone, or letter.

LIST OF MAILING LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~140 lists/2600+ lines/120,000+ characters) on SRI-NIC in files:
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-1.TXT (first half of the list)
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-2.TXT (second half of the list)
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET
FTP, the complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not
normally be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>
Love-Hounds@MIT-Eddie

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
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:

PROLOG[-HACKERS]@SU-SCORE
Prolog and logic programming mailing lists.
Some of the people answering the initial BBoard message stated that they
would be interested in general Prolog and logic programming information, but
not in the nitty-gritty details of Prolog systems and their bugs. Therefore,
two mailing lists have been set up, PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS: PROLOG will
provide a digest of articles of general interest; PROLOG-HACKERS will
provide a direct mailing for the nasty stuff. Finally, PROLOG-REQUEST
should be used for distribution requests. In a nutshell:
Mail to for
------- ---
PROLOG@SCORE sending articles of general interest
PROLOG-HACKERS@SCORE sending articles of limited interest
PROLOG-REQUEST@SCORE getting in and out of the mailing lists
and other bureaucracy
Please do not send the same message to PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS. Messages
will be moved between lists if appropriate.

SECURITY@RUTGERS
This list is designed to provide a forum for discussion of the field of
security in general, be it electronic, physical, or computer-related. Since
the original idea was to name this list LOCKSMITHS, discussions about
physical security and hardware are welcomed, but to broaden out into
computer security and electronic access control and such is also valid. In
other words, any subject matter relating to the *improvement* and
*implementation* of security systems is okay, while how to *defeat* them is
not. Messages are not digestified, but are filtered to keep things of
questionable legality/ content from escaping out to the network.

SF-CONS LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging 1000-1500 lines or 55,000-75,000
characters, including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet,
etc.), the complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies
will \not/ be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG, flyers
picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the list maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send messages
to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>.
SF-LOVERS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of books and films. The range of topics is quite
wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics of
interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

SMAuG^.X@Xerox.ARPA
Mailing list for communication of ideas about SMAuG (Simultaneous Multiple
AdventUrer Game). SMAuG is an applied research project designed to probe
the problems of distributing the work of a complex piece of software across
local intelligent devices and a remote timesharing computer. The software
being creating is an adventure game allowing multiple players. Players may
be controlled by either human users or planning software. The project is
potentially enormous and much paring of capabilities is expected. The
primary goals of the project are:
Error free communication protocol
Simple control of local intelligent devices
Centralized database with local caching of unchanging data objects
Local processing of user commands (to offload central system)
An adventure game
This project is an offshoot of a locally funded research grant examining the
interaction of local intelligent devices and remote timesharing systems.
Since January 1, 1984 we have been sponsored by the Rutgers Center for
Computer and Information Services. We hope to produce software useful to
other members of the University computing community with this project. Two
such pieces of software are a remote file access system, and a universal
window oriented terminal handler.
The SMAuG group meets every Wednesday evening from 8pm until 10pm at Rutgers
University in Hill Center room 318. Hill Center is located on Busch Campus
in Piscataway, New Jersey. Requests for detailed directions should be sent
to Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA. If you are coming any distance to attend a
meeting please contact Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA, sometimes the meetings are
held elsewhere, and announcements of this are only distributed locally in
the Rutgers area. Your attendance is, however, very welcome!
There is a separate mailing-list for SMAuG Storywriters:
SMAuG-Story^.X@Xerox.ARPA; archives for this list are available from
Fischer.PA@Xerox.ARPA.

UNIX-SW@SIMTEL20.ARPA
UNIX-SW is a vehicle for announcing the availablity of new major packages of
UNIX/'C' language software on the SIMTEL20 repository. This list will also
be used to mail periodic updates of the list of all UNIX software held at
SIMTEL20 (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 stored on SIMTEL20 in file:
PS:<ARCHIVES.UNIX-SW>UNIX-SW-ARCHIV.TXT
They are available via ANONYMOUS FTP from SIMTEL20 for those with TCP/IP
access to the Internet.

INFO-TMODEM@SIMTEL20.ARPA
BUG-TMODEM@SIMTEL20.ARPA
The INFO-TMODEM list is a means for the maintainer of the TMODEM program to
send notices to users of TMODEM. Users of TMODEM send bug reports and
feature requests to BUG-TMODEM@SIMTEL20.
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 in
<ARCHIVES.MODEMXX> on SIMTEL20. A new set of archives for INFO-TMODEM is on
SIMTEL20 in <ARCHIVES.TMODEM>TMODEM-ARCHIV.TXT. The source for TMODEM is in
TOPS-20:TMODEM.MAC, and must be compiled for each individual TOPS-20 system
environment.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-TMODEM-REQUEST@SIMTEL20.ARPA.
Coordinator: Frank J. Wancho <WANCHO@SIMTEL20.ARPA>
INFO-UNIX@BRL.ARPA
INFO-UNIX is intended for Question/Answer discussion, where "novice" system
administrators can pose questions. Also, much of the discussion of UNIX on
small (micro) computers may be moved from INFO-MICRO, INFO-CPM, etc., into
INFO-UNIX. Hopefully, enough people who know some answers will subscribe so
that the list serves a purpose; some overlap is expected with the
UNIX-WIZARDS list.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-UNIX-REQUEST@BRL.ARPA.
Moderator: Mike Muuss <mike@BRL.ARPA>

mail, content, etc., messages may be collected and digested in the future.
There is no current archive.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-V-REQUEST@SU-PESCADERO.

and AIList or the Prolog list, except in special cases.
Please "sign" subscriptions with full name and address so that people can
access you from Internet and/or BITNET (many other networks can be reached
through them and are certainly urged to participate).
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.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask IRList-Request
for recent back issues. Note that FTP is not possible, so all communication
must be by EMAIL, phone, or letter.

sort of game where one is is doing any sort of role playing in a real
live-real time (i.e. YOU, not a paper character); setting is what this
discussion covers. This is intended as a forum for discussion of scenarios,
rules suggestions, "no kidding there we were" stories, comments on legal
aspects, and anything else that a reader would like to talk about if it
deals with live role-playing.

LIST OF MAILING LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~140 lists/2600+ lines/120,000+ characters) on SRI-NIC in files:
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-1.TXT (first half of the list)
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-2.TXT (second half of the list)
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET
FTP, the complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not
normally be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>
Love-Hounds@MIT-Eddie
This is a mailing list for the discussion of Kate Bush's music (and any

feminism is generally viewed as a good thing on this list. This mailing
list is digested as a kindness to various mail systems.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to MAIL-MEN-REQUEST@ROCHESTER.

MHS_IMPLEMENTATION@RSCH.WISC.EDU
MHS_implementation@EAN.UBC.CDN
A QZCOM conference with the name "MHS (X.400) implementation"; the
conference will have the name "MHS_(X.400)_implementation" for mail
networks, in most cases postfixed by "%QZCOM@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA". The
conference/mailing list is open to anyone who is seriously interested in
implementing the CCITT X.400 (MHS) message handling protocols or gateways to
these protocols. The conference/mailing list can discuss such things as how
to understand and interpret the MHS recommendation, how to map existing mail
system and mail network features onto the MHS structure etc.
To minimize international communications costs, separate distribution lists
for CSNET/ARPANET and CDNNET users are being maintained at UWISC and UBC
respectively. ARPANET and CSNET users should send messages to
MHS_IMPLEMENTATION@WISC-RSCH. CDNNET users should send messages to
MHS_IMPLEMENTATION@EAN.UBC.CDN. Messages sent to one of the lists will be
forwarded to members of the other lists.
To join the conference:
QZCOM users:
Use the "member" command.
ARPANET/CSNET users:
Send a message to MHS_IMPLEMENTATION-REQUEST@RSCH.WISC.EDU
CDNNET users:
Send a message to MHS_IMPLEMENTATION-REQUEST@EAN.UBC.CDN
Users at other sites:
Send a message to "Jacob_Palme_QZ%QZCOM.MAILNET@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA",
do NOT send mail to the conference itself.

NAMEDROPPERS@SRI-NIC.ARPA
The NAMEDROPPERS mailing list is to be used for discussion of the concepts,
principles, design, and implementation of the domain style names. The main
focus of this group is the review of documents describing domain style
names. This is a list for participants in a discussion, not observers.
Everyone on the list is expected to contribute from time to time.
Nearly everyone in NAMEDROPPERS is also on HEADER-PEOPLE and also on
MSGGROUP. There is no need to send a message to both NAMEDROPPERS and
either of these lists (and certianly not both!).
All of the previous NAMEDROPPERS discussion can be found in SRI-NIC files
<NAMSER>NAMEDROPPERS.198X
where X is the number of the year of the archive you are looking for. A/O
Jan 85, there are archives for 1983, 1984 and 1985.
<NAMSER>NAMEDROPPERS.MAIL still contains the most current NAMEDROPPERS
dialog. These files can be accessed via anonymous FTP; new members may wish
to copy and read these archives before joining the discussion.

NL-KR@ROCHESTER.ARPA
NL-KR is open to discussion of any topic related to the natural language
(both understanding and generation) and knowledge representation, both as
subfields of AI. The Moderator's interests are primarily in:
Knowledge Representation Natural Language Understanding
Discourse Understanding Philosophy of Language
Plan Recognition Computational Linguistics
Contributions are also welcome on topics such as:
Cognitive Psychology (as related to NL/KR)
Human Perception (same)
Linguistics
Machine Translation
Computer and Information Science (as may be used to implement various
Logic Programming (same) NL systems)
Contributions may be anything from tutorials to speculation. In particular,
the following are sought:
Abstracts Reviews
Lab Descriptions Research Overviews
Work Planned or in Progress Half-Baked Ideas
Conference Announcements Conference Reports
Bibliographies History of NL/KR
Puzzles and Unsolved Problems Anecdotes, Jokes, and Poems
Queries and Requests Address Changes (Bindings)
This list is in some sense a spin-off of the AIList, and as such, a certain
amount of overlap is expected. 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.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask NL-KR-REQUEST
for recent back issues.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to NL-KR-REQUEST@ROCHESTER.ARPA.

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
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:
<poli-sci>mail.txt
and other files in the <poli-sci> directory
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

PROLOG[-HACKERS]@SU-SCORE
Prolog and logic programming mailing lists.
Some of the people answering the initial BBoard message stated that they
would be interested in general Prolog and logic programming information, but
not in the nitty-gritty details of Prolog systems and their bugs. Therefore,
two mailing lists have been set up, PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS: PROLOG will
provide a digest of articles of general interest; PROLOG-HACKERS will
provide a direct mailing for the nasty stuff. Finally, PROLOG-REQUEST
should be used for distribution requests. In a nutshell:
Mail to for
------- ---
PROLOG@SCORE sending articles of general interest
PROLOG-HACKERS@SCORE sending articles of limited interest
PROLOG-REQUEST@SCORE getting in and out of the mailing lists
and other bureaucracy
Please do not send the same message to PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS. Messages
will be moved between lists if appropriate.
An archive of the USEnet prolog interest group interchange can be FTP'd from
host SU-SCORE using standard anonymous login convention. The pathname is:

Psychnet <EPSYNET%UHUPVM1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU>
PSYCHNET (tm) is a psychology Newsletter and mailing list, sending out
information, news, and academic papers to those who sign up. An initial
formal purpose of Psychnet is distribution of academic papers in advance of
the 1986 APA convention; other purposes will develop according to the needs
and interests of the profession and Psychnet users.
Outside BitNet, Psychnet is a Newsletter and mailing list only. Once per
week, members receive the latest Psychnet Newsletter and Index of files
available on the server machine. If a file looks interesting send an E-mail
request to EPSYNET%UHUPVM1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU and the file will be sent
to you.
Within BitNet, Psychnet is also a 24-hour server machine which mails out
files to users who first send the PSYCHNET HELP command to userid UH-INFO at
node UHUPVM1 (*NOT* to userid EPSYNET). Persons within BitNet may also sign
up for the mailing list and will get the Newsletter and Index along with
other news. BitNet users, however, should get their files directly from the
server machine; an Exec file is available for CMS users and COM files are
available for VAX users within BitNet.
To have a file or idea distributed to members of the list send it to the
primary list address and it will be sent out, usually with the week's
Psychnet Newsletter.
All requests to be added to or deleted from the mailing list, or to have
files distributed should be sent to EPSYNET%UHUPVM1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU.

SECURITY@RUTGERS
This list is designed to provide a forum for discussion of the field of
security in general, be it electronic, physical, or computer-related. Since
the original idea was to name this list LOCKSMITHS, discussions about
physical security and hardware are welcomed, but to broaden out into
computer security and electronic access control and such is also valid. In
other words, any subject matter relating to the *improvement* and
*implementation* of security systems is okay, while how to *defeat* them is
not. Messages are not digestified, but are filtered to keep things of
questionable legality/ content from escaping out to the network.

SF-CONS LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging 1000-1500 lines or 55,000-75,000
characters, including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet,
etc.), the complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies
will \not/ be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG, flyers
picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the list maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send messages
to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>.
SF-LOVERS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of books and films. The range of topics is quite
wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics of
interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

be controlled by either human users or planning software. The project is
potentially enormous and much paring of capabilities is expected. The
primary goals of the project are:
Error free communication protocol
Simple control of local intelligent devices
Centralized database with local caching of unchanging data objects
Local processing of user commands (to offload central system)
An adventure game
This project is an offshoot of a locally funded research grant examining the
interaction of local intelligent devices and remote timesharing systems.
Since January 1, 1984 we have been sponsored by the Rutgers Center for
Computer and Information Services. We hope to produce software useful to
other members of the University computing community with this project. Two
such pieces of software are a remote file access system, and a universal
window oriented terminal handler.
The SMAuG group meets every Wednesday evening from 8pm until 10pm at Rutgers
University in Hill Center room 318. Hill Center is located on Busch Campus
in Piscataway, New Jersey. Requests for detailed directions should be sent
to Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA. If you are coming any distance to attend a
meeting please contact Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA, sometimes the meetings are
held elsewhere, and announcements of this are only distributed locally in
the Rutgers area. Your attendance is, however, very welcome!
There is a separate mailing-list for SMAuG Storywriters:
SMAuG-Story^.X@Xerox.ARPA; archives for this list are available from
Fischer.PA@Xerox.ARPA.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, back issue requests,

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 stored on SIMTEL20 in file:
PS:<ARCHIVES.UNIX-SW>UNIX-SW-ARCHIV.TXT

INFO-TMODEM@SIMTEL20.ARPA
BUG-TMODEM@SIMTEL20.ARPA
The INFO-TMODEM list is a means for the maintainer of the TMODEM program to
send notices to users of TMODEM. Users of TMODEM send bug reports and
feature requests to BUG-TMODEM@SIMTEL20.
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 in
<ARCHIVES.MODEMXX> on SIMTEL20. A new set of archives for INFO-TMODEM is on
SIMTEL20 in <ARCHIVES.TMODEM>TMODEM-ARCHIV.TXT. The source for TMODEM is in
TOPS-20:TMODEM.MAC, and must be compiled for each individual TOPS-20 system
environment.

etc., should be sent to INFO-TMODEM-REQUEST@SIMTEL20.ARPA.
Coordinator: Frank J. Wancho <WANCHO@SIMTEL20.ARPA>
INFO-UNIX@BRL.ARPA
INFO-UNIX is intended for Question/Answer discussion, where "novice" system
administrators can pose questions. Also, much of the discussion of UNIX on
small (micro) computers may be moved from INFO-MICRO, INFO-CPM, etc., into
INFO-UNIX. Hopefully, enough people who know some answers will subscribe so
that the list serves a purpose; some overlap is expected with the
UNIX-WIZARDS list.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-UNIX-REQUEST@BRL.ARPA.
Moderator: Mike Muuss <mike@BRL.ARPA>

and AIList or the Prolog list, except in special cases.
Please "sign" subscriptions with full name and address so that people can
access you from Internet and/or BITNET (many other networks can be reached
through them and are certainly urged to participate).
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.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask IRList-Request
for recent back issues. Note that FTP is not possible, so all communication
must be by EMAIL, phone, or letter.

Live-Role-Playing games. Assassin, Killer, K.A.O.S, RECON, DELOS, and any
sort of game where one is is doing any sort of role playing in a real
live-real time (i.e. YOU, not a paper character); setting is what this
discussion covers. This is intended as a forum for discussion of scenarios,
rules suggestions, "no kidding there we were" stories, comments on legal
aspects, and anything else that a reader would like to talk about if it
deals with live role-playing.
All requests to be added or deleted from this list, questions, problems,
etc., should be sent to CEREBUS%UMASS.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU.

information out to L5 members, sort of an on-line version of the phone trees
or the mass mailings. The Coordinator will manually forward other messages
of interest, but can not moderate a full-scale discussion group.
All information items, as well as all requests to be added to or deleted
from this list, should be sent to ssc-vax!marla@UW-BEAVER.

LIST OF MAILING LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~140 lists/2600+ lines/120,000+ characters) on SRI-NIC in files:
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-1.TXT (first half of the list)
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-2.TXT (second half of the list)
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET
FTP, the complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not
normally be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>
Love-Hounds@MIT-Eddie

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
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

NAMEDROPPERS@SRI-NIC.ARPA
The NAMEDROPPERS mailing list is to be used for discussion of the concepts,
principles, design, and implementation of the domain style names. The main
focus of this group is the review of documents describing domain style
names. This is a list for participants in a discussion, not observers.
Everyone on the list is expected to contribute from time to time.
Nearly everyone in NAMEDROPPERS is also on HEADER-PEOPLE and also on
MSGGROUP. There is no need to send a message to both NAMEDROPPERS and
either of these lists (and certianly not both!).
All of the previous NAMEDROPPERS discussion can be found in SRI-NIC files
<NAMSER>NAMEDROPPERS.198X
where X is the number of the year of the archive you are looking for. A/O
Jan 85, there are archives for 1983, 1984 and 1985.
<NAMSER>NAMEDROPPERS.MAIL still contains the most current NAMEDROPPERS
dialog. These files can be accessed via anonymous FTP; new members may wish
to copy and read these archives before joining the discussion.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to NAMEDROPPERS-REQUEST@SRI-NIC.

NL-KR@ROCHESTER.ARPA
NL-KR is open to discussion of any topic related to the natural language
(both understanding and generation) and knowledge representation, both as
subfields of AI. The Moderator's interests are primarily in:
Knowledge Representation Natural Language Understanding
Discourse Understanding Philosophy of Language
Plan Recognition Computational Linguistics
Contributions are also welcome on topics such as:
Cognitive Psychology (as related to NL/KR)
Human Perception (same)
Linguistics
Machine Translation
Computer and Information Science (as may be used to implement various
Logic Programming (same) NL systems)
Contributions may be anything from tutorials to speculation. In particular,
the following are sought:
Abstracts Reviews
Lab Descriptions Research Overviews
Work Planned or in Progress Half-Baked Ideas
Conference Announcements Conference Reports
Bibliographies History of NL/KR
Puzzles and Unsolved Problems Anecdotes, Jokes, and Poems
Queries and Requests Address Changes (Bindings)
This list is in some sense a spin-off of the AIList, and as such, a certain
amount of overlap is expected. 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.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask NL-KR-REQUEST
for recent back issues.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to NL-KR-REQUEST@ROCHESTER.ARPA.

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
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:
<poli-sci>mail.txt

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

PROLOG[-HACKERS]@SU-SCORE
Prolog and logic programming mailing lists.
Some of the people answering the initial BBoard message stated that they
would be interested in general Prolog and logic programming information, but
not in the nitty-gritty details of Prolog systems and their bugs. Therefore,
two mailing lists have been set up, PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS: PROLOG will
provide a digest of articles of general interest; PROLOG-HACKERS will
provide a direct mailing for the nasty stuff. Finally, PROLOG-REQUEST
should be used for distribution requests. In a nutshell:
Mail to for
------- ---
PROLOG@SCORE sending articles of general interest
PROLOG-HACKERS@SCORE sending articles of limited interest
PROLOG-REQUEST@SCORE getting in and out of the mailing lists
and other bureaucracy
Please do not send the same message to PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS. Messages
will be moved between lists if appropriate.
An archive of the USEnet prolog interest group interchange can be FTP'd from
host SU-SCORE using standard anonymous login convention. The pathname is:

Psychnet <EPSYNET%UHUPVM1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU>
PSYCHNET (tm) is a psychology Newsletter and mailing list, sending out
information, news, and academic papers to those who sign up. An initial
formal purpose of Psychnet is distribution of academic papers in advance of
the 1986 APA convention; other purposes will develop according to the needs
and interests of the profession and Psychnet users.
Outside BitNet, Psychnet is a Newsletter and mailing list only. Once per
week, members receive the latest Psychnet Newsletter and Index of files
available on the server machine. If a file looks interesting send an E-mail
request to EPSYNET%UHUPVM1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU and the file will be sent
to you.
Within BitNet, Psychnet is also a 24-hour server machine which mails out
files to users who first send the PSYCHNET HELP command to userid UH-INFO at
node UHUPVM1 (*NOT* to userid EPSYNET). Persons within BitNet may also sign
up for the mailing list and will get the Newsletter and Index along with
other news. BitNet users, however, should get their files directly from the
server machine; an Exec file is available for CMS users and COM files are
available for VAX users within BitNet.
To have a file or idea distributed to members of the list send it to the
primary list address and it will be sent out, usually with the week's
Psychnet Newsletter.
All requests to be added to or deleted from the mailing list, or to have
files distributed should be sent to EPSYNET%UHUPVM1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU.

of Scribe Database Administrator at their installation. Discussion will be
about Scribe features, bugs, enhancements, performance, support, and other
topics of interest to Scribe DBAs. The list will NOT be moderated, but will
simply consist of a mail "reflector" - ie. if you send a message to the
list, it will be rebroadcast to everyone on the list. Discussion at the
level of "How do I get a paragraph to indent 5 spaces instead of 3?" is
specifically discouraged.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

Coordinator: Walt <Haas@UTAH-20.ARPA>
SECURITY@RUTGERS
This list is designed to provide a forum for discussion of the field of
security in general, be it electronic, physical, or computer-related. Since
the original idea was to name this list LOCKSMITHS, discussions about
physical security and hardware are welcomed, but to broaden out into
computer security and electronic access control and such is also valid. In
other words, any subject matter relating to the *improvement* and
*implementation* of security systems is okay, while how to *defeat* them is
not. Messages are not digestified, but are filtered to keep things of
questionable legality/ content from escaping out to the network.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to SECURITY-REQUEST@RUTGERS.

SF-CONS LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging 1000-1500 lines or 55,000-75,000
characters, including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet,
etc.), the complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies
will \not/ be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG, flyers
picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the list maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send messages
to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>.
SF-LOVERS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of books and films. The range of topics is quite
wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics of
interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

of Tenex disk pages, the second is the number of characters in the file,
for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 11 is the current
volume A/O Jan 86. Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in
the files SF-LOVERS.xxx-yy where xxx is the month of publication and yy
is the current year. The current month's messages may be found in

SMAuG^.X@Xerox.ARPA
Mailing list for communication of ideas about SMAuG (Simultaneous Multiple
AdventUrer Game). SMAuG is an applied research project designed to probe
the problems of distributing the work of a complex piece of software across
local intelligent devices and a remote timesharing computer. The software
being creating is an adventure game allowing multiple players. Players may
be controlled by either human users or planning software. The project is
potentially enormous and much paring of capabilities is expected. The
primary goals of the project are:
Error free communication protocol
Simple control of local intelligent devices
Centralized database with local caching of unchanging data objects
Local processing of user commands (to offload central system)
An adventure game
This project is an offshoot of a locally funded research grant examining the
interaction of local intelligent devices and remote timesharing systems.
Since January 1, 1984 we have been sponsored by the Rutgers Center for
Computer and Information Services. We hope to produce software useful to
other members of the University computing community with this project. Two
such pieces of software are a remote file access system, and a universal
window oriented terminal handler.
The SMAuG group meets every Wednesday evening from 8pm until 10pm at Rutgers
University in Hill Center room 318. Hill Center is located on Busch Campus
in Piscataway, New Jersey. Requests for detailed directions should be sent
to Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA. If you are coming any distance to attend a
meeting please contact Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA, sometimes the meetings are
held elsewhere, and announcements of this are only distributed locally in
the Rutgers area. Your attendance is, however, very welcome!
There is a separate mailing-list for SMAuG Storywriters:
SMAuG-Story^.X@Xerox.ARPA; archives for this list are available from
Fischer.PA@Xerox.ARPA.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, back issue requests,

seismo!vtisr1!irlistrq (UUCP)
fox@vpi (CSNET)
foxea@vtvax3 or fox@vtcs1 (BITNET)
IRList is open to discussion of any topic related to information retrieval.
Certainly, any material relating to ACM SIGIR is of interest. The IR field
has close ties to artificial intelligence, database management, information
and library science, linguistics,... A partial list of topics suitable are:
Information Management/Processing/Science/Technology
AI Applications to IR Indexing
Abstracting Information Display
Citations Information Theory
Cognitive Psychology Knowledge Representation
Communications Networks Language Understanding
Computational Linguistics Library Science
Computer Science NL Processing
Cybernetics Natural Languages
Data Abstraction Pattern Recognition
Document Representations Library Science
Electronic Books Probabilistic Techniques
Expert Systems for IR Speech Analysis
Full-Text Retrieval Statistical Techniques
Hardware aids for IR
Contributions may be anything from tutorials to rampant speculation. In
particular, the following are sought:
Abstracts Reviews
Lab Descriptions Research Overviews
Work Planned or in Progress Half-Baked Ideas
Conference Announcements Conference Reports
Bibliographies History of IR
Queries and Requests Address Changes
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.
Please "sign" subscriptions with full name and address so that people can
access you from Internet and/or BITNET (many other networks can be reached
through them and are certainly urged to participate).
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.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask IRList-Request
for recent back issues. Note that FTP is not possible, so all communication
must be by EMAIL, phone, or letter.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to vtisr1!irlistrq@SEISMO.CSS.GOV,
seismo!vtisr1!irlistrq (UUCP), fox@vpi (CSNET), or foxea@vtvax3 or fox@vtcs1

ISODE@NRTC.NORTHROP.COM
Discussion group focusing on the ISO Development Environment, an openly
available implementation of some of the higher-level protocols adopted by
international organizations (ISO, CCITT, ECMA). These implementations are
hosted on top of TCP/IP using the method discussed in RFC983. Appropriate
topics are:
- Questions about how to use ISODE (and announcements of ports to other
target environments)
- Discussion of ISODE as a part of a TCP/IP to ISO migration strategy
- Exchange of ideas regarding ISO-based applications running in a native
TCP/IP environment
- Debate regarding where ISODE should go next
The list naturally has some overlap with the TCP-IP list, the ISO list, and
so on; contributors are urged to use the appropriate list based on their
topic of discussion.
Archives are kept on host NRTC-GREMLIN.NORTHROP.COM (128.99.0.17). Use
"anonymous" ftp to retrieve file "archive/isode.mbox" which represents the

LIST OF MAILING LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~140 lists/2600+ lines/120,000+ characters) on SRI-NIC in files:
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-1.TXT (first half of the list)
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-2.TXT (second half of the list)
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET
FTP, the complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not
normally be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>
Love-Hounds@MIT-Eddie

music-research%prg.oxford.ac.uk@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
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

NAMEDROPPERS@SRI-NIC.ARPA
The NAMEDROPPERS mailing list is to be used for discussion of the concepts,
principles, design, and implementation of the domain style names. The main
focus of this group is the review of documents describing domain style
names. This is a list for participants in a discussion, not observers.
Everyone on the list is expected to contribute from time to time.
Nearly everyone in NAMEDROPPERS is also on HEADER-PEOPLE and also on
MSGGROUP. There is no need to send a message to both NAMEDROPPERS and
either of these lists (and certianly not both!).
All of the previous NAMEDROPPERS discussion can be found in SRI-NIC files
<NAMSER>NAMEDROPPERS.198X
where X is the number of the year of the archive you are looking for. A/O
Jan 85, there are archives for 1983, 1984 and 1985.
<NAMSER>NAMEDROPPERS.MAIL still contains the most current NAMEDROPPERS
dialog. These files can be accessed via anonymous FTP; new members may wish
to copy and read these archives before joining the discussion.

NetMonth
A special product of BITLIB, the Yale Computer Center BITNET Services
Library, is an electronic publication called NetMonth. NetMonth provides
news and information on BITNET services to the networking community. It is
mailed out monthly along with a companion file, BITNET SERVERS. This file
contains an accumulated list of known file servers, list servers, name
servers, data base servers, conference machines, and electronic magazines in
BITNET. While the information in NetMonth and BITNET SERVERS is geared
toward the BITNET user, there may be some interest for users in other
networks.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to BITLIB%YALEVMX.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU or

NL-KR@ROCHESTER.ARPA
NL-KR is open to discussion of any topic related to the natural language
(both understanding and generation) and knowledge representation, both as
subfields of AI. The Moderator's interests are primarily in:
Knowledge Representation Natural Language Understanding
Discourse Understanding Philosophy of Language
Plan Recognition Computational Linguistics
Contributions are also welcome on topics such as:
Cognitive Psychology (as related to NL/KR)
Human Perception (same)
Linguistics
Machine Translation
Computer and Information Science (as may be used to implement various
Logic Programming (same) NL systems)
Contributions may be anything from tutorials to speculation. In particular,
the following are sought:
Abstracts Reviews
Lab Descriptions Research Overviews
Work Planned or in Progress Half-Baked Ideas
Conference Announcements Conference Reports
Bibliographies History of NL/KR
Puzzles and Unsolved Problems Anecdotes, Jokes, and Poems
Queries and Requests Address Changes (Bindings)
This list is in some sense a spin-off of the AIList, and as such, a certain
amount of overlap is expected. 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.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask NL-KR-REQUEST
for recent back issues.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to NL-KR-REQUEST@ROCHESTER.ARPA.

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
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:

PROLOG[-HACKERS]@SU-SCORE
Prolog and logic programming mailing lists.
Some of the people answering the initial BBoard message stated that they
would be interested in general Prolog and logic programming information, but
not in the nitty-gritty details of Prolog systems and their bugs. Therefore,
two mailing lists have been set up, PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS: PROLOG will
provide a digest of articles of general interest; PROLOG-HACKERS will
provide a direct mailing for the nasty stuff. Finally, PROLOG-REQUEST
should be used for distribution requests. In a nutshell:
Mail to for
------- ---
PROLOG@SCORE sending articles of general interest
PROLOG-HACKERS@SCORE sending articles of limited interest
PROLOG-REQUEST@SCORE getting in and out of the mailing lists
and other bureaucracy
Please do not send the same message to PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS. Messages
will be moved between lists if appropriate.

PSYCHNET (tm) <EPSYNET%UHUPVM1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU>
Psychnet is a weekly electronic Newsletter and Server Machine, distributed
free of charge to all who request it. It contains news about psychology,
letters from readers, and the latest list of files (the Psychnet Index) that
is available from the Server Machine. Files available on the Server Machine
vary regularly, and cover a wide range of topics, including preprints of
papers, convention announcements, special news announcements, position
openings, and just about anything else related to psychology.
There are two ways to get files from the Server Machine. Users within
Bitnet who can send interactive commands (like the TELL or SEND/REMOTE
command) should send the command PSYCHNET HELP to userid UH-INFO at node
UHUPVM1. An automatic reply (if the 'links' are up) will then guide you in
viewing the latest Index and retrieving files. If you cannot send
interactive commands (this includes all non-Bitnet users) or if you have
problems, request the file you want with mail to userid EPSYNET at node
UHUPVM1 (NOT userid UH-INFO). Remember, you will automatically get an Index
once weekly in your Newsletter subscription. A special purpose of Psychnet
will be distribution of selected papers in advance of the 1987 convention of
the American Psychological Association.
All requests to be added to or deleted from the mailing list, or to have
files distributed, should be sent to the Coordinator.

about Scribe features, bugs, enhancements, performance, support, and other
topics of interest to Scribe DBAs. The list will NOT be moderated, but will
simply consist of a mail "reflector" - ie. if you send a message to the
list, it will be rebroadcast to everyone on the list. Discussion at the
level of "How do I get a paragraph to indent 5 spaces instead of 3?" is
specifically discouraged.

SECURITY@RUTGERS
This list is designed to provide a forum for discussion of the field of
security in general, be it electronic, physical, or computer-related. Since
the original idea was to name this list LOCKSMITHS, discussions about
physical security and hardware are welcomed, but to broaden out into
computer security and electronic access control and such is also valid. In
other words, any subject matter relating to the *improvement* and
*implementation* of security systems is okay, while how to *defeat* them is
not. Messages are not digestified, but are filtered to keep things of
questionable legality/ content from escaping out to the network.

SF-CONS LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging 1000-1500 lines or 55,000-75,000
characters, including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet,
etc.), the complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies
will \not/ be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG, flyers
picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the list maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send messages
to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>.
SF-LOVERS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of books and films. The range of topics is quite
wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics of
interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

SMAuG^.X@Xerox.ARPA
Mailing list for communication of ideas about SMAuG (Simultaneous Multiple
AdventUrer Game). SMAuG is an applied research project designed to probe
the problems of distributing the work of a complex piece of software across
local intelligent devices and a remote timesharing computer. The software
being creating is an adventure game allowing multiple players. Players may
be controlled by either human users or planning software. The project is
potentially enormous and much paring of capabilities is expected. The
primary goals of the project are:
Error free communication protocol
Simple control of local intelligent devices
Centralized database with local caching of unchanging data objects
Local processing of user commands (to offload central system)
An adventure game
This project is an offshoot of a locally funded research grant examining the
interaction of local intelligent devices and remote timesharing systems.
Since January 1, 1984 we have been sponsored by the Rutgers Center for
Computer and Information Services. We hope to produce software useful to
other members of the University computing community with this project. Two
such pieces of software are a remote file access system, and a universal
window oriented terminal handler.
The SMAuG group meets every Wednesday evening from 8pm until 10pm at Rutgers
University in Hill Center room 318. Hill Center is located on Busch Campus
in Piscataway, New Jersey. Requests for detailed directions should be sent
to Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA. If you are coming any distance to attend a
meeting please contact Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA, sometimes the meetings are
held elsewhere, and announcements of this are only distributed locally in
the Rutgers area. Your attendance is, however, very welcome!
There is a separate mailing-list for SMAuG Storywriters:
SMAuG-Story^.X@Xerox.ARPA; archives for this list are available from
Fischer.PA@Xerox.ARPA.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, back issue requests,
problems, questions, etc., should be sent to McGrew.Smaug@RU-BLUE.

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 stored on SIMTEL20 in file:
PS:<ARCHIVES.UNIX-SW>UNIX-SW-ARCHIV.TXT

INFO-TMODEM@SIMTEL20.ARPA
BUG-TMODEM@SIMTEL20.ARPA
The INFO-TMODEM list is a means for the maintainer of the TMODEM program to
send notices to users of TMODEM. Users of TMODEM send bug reports and
feature requests to BUG-TMODEM@SIMTEL20.
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 in
<ARCHIVES.MODEMXX> on SIMTEL20. A new set of archives for INFO-TMODEM is on
SIMTEL20 in <ARCHIVES.TMODEM>TMODEM-ARCHIV.TXT. The source for TMODEM is in
TOPS-20:TMODEM.MAC, and must be compiled for each individual TOPS-20 system
environment.

etc., should be sent to INFO-TMODEM-REQUEST@SIMTEL20.ARPA.
Coordinator: Frank J. Wancho <WANCHO@SIMTEL20.ARPA>
INFO-UNIX@BRL.ARPA
INFO-UNIX is intended for Question/Answer discussion, where "novice" system
administrators can pose questions. Also, much of the discussion of UNIX on
small (micro) computers may be moved from INFO-MICRO, INFO-CPM, etc., into
INFO-UNIX. Hopefully, enough people who know some answers will subscribe so
that the list serves a purpose; some overlap is expected with the
UNIX-WIZARDS list.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-UNIX-REQUEST@BRL.ARPA.
Moderator: Mike Muuss <mike@BRL.ARPA>

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.
Please "sign" subscriptions with full name and address so that people can
access you from Internet and/or BITNET (many other networks can be reached
through them and are certainly urged to participate).
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.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask IRList-Request
for recent back issues. Note that FTP is not possible, so all communication
must be by EMAIL, phone, or letter.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to vtisr1!irlistrq@SEISMO.CSS.GOV,
seismo!vtisr1!irlistrq (UUCP), fox@vpi (CSNET), or foxea@vtvax3 or fox@vtcs1

Discussion group focusing on the ISO Development Environment, an openly
available implementation of some of the higher-level protocols adopted by
international organizations (ISO, CCITT, ECMA). These implementations are
hosted on top of TCP/IP using the method discussed in RFC983. Appropriate
topics are:
- Questions about how to use ISODE (and announcements of ports to other
target environments)
- Discussion of ISODE as a part of a TCP/IP to ISO migration strategy
- Exchange of ideas regarding ISO-based applications running in a native
TCP/IP environment
- Debate regarding where ISODE should go next
The list naturally has some overlap with the TCP-IP list, the ISO list, and
so on; contributors are urged to use the appropriate list based on their
topic of discussion.
Archives are kept on host NRTC-GREMLIN.NORTHROP.COM (128.99.0.17). Use
"anonymous" ftp to retrieve file "archive/isode.mbox" which represents the
current archives.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to ISODE-Request@NRTC.NORTHROP.COM.

LIST OF MAILING LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~140 lists/2600+ lines/120,000+ characters) on SRI-NIC in files:
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-1.TXT (first half of the list)
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-2.TXT (second half of the list)
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET
FTP, the complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not
normally be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>
Love-Hounds@MIT-Eddie

music-research%prg.oxford.ac.uk@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
On-line archives are not yet available, but copies will be mailed on request
by Brad Rubenstein <bradr@INGRES.BERKELEY.EDU>.

NAMEDROPPERS@SRI-NIC.ARPA
The NAMEDROPPERS mailing list is to be used for discussion of the concepts,
principles, design, and implementation of the domain style names. The main
focus of this group is the review of documents describing domain style
names. This is a list for participants in a discussion, not observers.
Everyone on the list is expected to contribute from time to time.
Nearly everyone in NAMEDROPPERS is also on HEADER-PEOPLE and also on
MSGGROUP. There is no need to send a message to both NAMEDROPPERS and
either of these lists (and certianly not both!).
All of the previous NAMEDROPPERS discussion can be found in SRI-NIC files
<NAMSER>NAMEDROPPERS.198X
where X is the number of the year of the archive you are looking for. A/O
Jan 85, there are archives for 1983, 1984 and 1985.
<NAMSER>NAMEDROPPERS.MAIL still contains the most current NAMEDROPPERS
dialog. These files can be accessed via anonymous FTP; new members may wish
to copy and read these archives before joining the discussion.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

NL-KR@ROCHESTER.ARPA
NL-KR is open to discussion of any topic related to the natural language
(both understanding and generation) and knowledge representation, both as
subfields of AI. The Moderator's interests are primarily in:
Knowledge Representation Natural Language Understanding
Discourse Understanding Philosophy of Language
Plan Recognition Computational Linguistics
Contributions are also welcome on topics such as:
Cognitive Psychology (as related to NL/KR)
Human Perception (same)
Linguistics
Machine Translation
Computer and Information Science (as may be used to implement various
Logic Programming (same) NL systems)
Contributions may be anything from tutorials to speculation. In particular,
the following are sought:
Abstracts Reviews
Lab Descriptions Research Overviews
Work Planned or in Progress Half-Baked Ideas
Conference Announcements Conference Reports
Bibliographies History of NL/KR
Puzzles and Unsolved Problems Anecdotes, Jokes, and Poems
Queries and Requests Address Changes (Bindings)
This list is in some sense a spin-off of the AIList, and as such, a certain
amount of overlap is expected. 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.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask NL-KR-REQUEST
for recent back issues.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to NL-KR-REQUEST@ROCHESTER.ARPA.

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
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:

PROLOG[-HACKERS]@SU-SCORE
Prolog and logic programming mailing lists.
Some of the people answering the initial BBoard message stated that they
would be interested in general Prolog and logic programming information, but
not in the nitty-gritty details of Prolog systems and their bugs. Therefore,
two mailing lists have been set up, PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS: PROLOG will
provide a digest of articles of general interest; PROLOG-HACKERS will
provide a direct mailing for the nasty stuff. Finally, PROLOG-REQUEST
should be used for distribution requests. In a nutshell:
Mail to for
------- ---
PROLOG@SCORE sending articles of general interest
PROLOG-HACKERS@SCORE sending articles of limited interest
PROLOG-REQUEST@SCORE getting in and out of the mailing lists
and other bureaucracy
Please do not send the same message to PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS. Messages
will be moved between lists if appropriate.
An archive of the USEnet prolog interest group interchange can be FTP'd from
host SU-SCORE using standard anonymous login convention. The pathname is:

PSYCHNET (tm) <EPSYNET%UHUPVM1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU>
Psychnet is a weekly electronic Newsletter and Server Machine, distributed
free of charge to all who request it. It contains news about psychology,
letters from readers, and the latest list of files (the Psychnet Index) that
is available from the Server Machine. Files available on the Server Machine
vary regularly, and cover a wide range of topics, including preprints of
papers, convention announcements, special news announcements, position
openings, and just about anything else related to psychology.
There are two ways to get files from the Server Machine. Users within
Bitnet who can send interactive commands (like the TELL or SEND/REMOTE
command) should send the command PSYCHNET HELP to userid UH-INFO at node
UHUPVM1. An automatic reply (if the 'links' are up) will then guide you in
viewing the latest Index and retrieving files. If you cannot send
interactive commands (this includes all non-Bitnet users) or if you have
problems, request the file you want with mail to userid EPSYNET at node
UHUPVM1 (NOT userid UH-INFO). Remember, you will automatically get an Index
once weekly in your Newsletter subscription. A special purpose of Psychnet
will be distribution of selected papers in advance of the 1987 convention of
the American Psychological Association.
All requests to be added to or deleted from the mailing list, or to have
files distributed, should be sent to the Coordinator.

SECURITY@RUTGERS
This list is designed to provide a forum for discussion of the field of
security in general, be it electronic, physical, or computer-related. Since
the original idea was to name this list LOCKSMITHS, discussions about
physical security and hardware are welcomed, but to broaden out into
computer security and electronic access control and such is also valid. In
other words, any subject matter relating to the *improvement* and
*implementation* of security systems is okay, while how to *defeat* them is
not. Messages are not digestified, but are filtered to keep things of
questionable legality/ content from escaping out to the network.

SF-CONS LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging 1000-1500 lines or 55,000-75,000
characters, including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet,
etc.), the complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies
will \not/ be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG, flyers
picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the list maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send messages
to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>.
SF-LOVERS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of books and films. The range of topics is quite
wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics of
interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 11 is the current
volume A/O Jan 86. Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in

SMAuG^.X@Xerox.ARPA
Mailing list for communication of ideas about SMAuG (Simultaneous Multiple
AdventUrer Game). SMAuG is an applied research project designed to probe
the problems of distributing the work of a complex piece of software across
local intelligent devices and a remote timesharing computer. The software
being creating is an adventure game allowing multiple players. Players may
be controlled by either human users or planning software. The project is
potentially enormous and much paring of capabilities is expected. The
primary goals of the project are:
Error free communication protocol
Simple control of local intelligent devices
Centralized database with local caching of unchanging data objects
Local processing of user commands (to offload central system)
An adventure game
This project is an offshoot of a locally funded research grant examining the
interaction of local intelligent devices and remote timesharing systems.
Since January 1, 1984 we have been sponsored by the Rutgers Center for
Computer and Information Services. We hope to produce software useful to
other members of the University computing community with this project. Two
such pieces of software are a remote file access system, and a universal
window oriented terminal handler.
The SMAuG group meets every Wednesday evening from 8pm until 10pm at Rutgers
University in Hill Center room 318. Hill Center is located on Busch Campus
in Piscataway, New Jersey. Requests for detailed directions should be sent
to Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA. If you are coming any distance to attend a
meeting please contact Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA, sometimes the meetings are
held elsewhere, and announcements of this are only distributed locally in
the Rutgers area. Your attendance is, however, very welcome!
There is a separate mailing-list for SMAuG Storywriters:
SMAuG-Story^.X@Xerox.ARPA; archives for this list are available from
Fischer.PA@Xerox.ARPA.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, back issue requests,

UNIX-SW@SIMTEL20.ARPA
UNIX-SW is a vehicle for announcing the availablity of new major packages of
UNIX/'C' language software on the SIMTEL20 repository. This list will also
be used to mail periodic updates of the list of all UNIX software held at

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 stored on SIMTEL20 in file:
PS:<ARCHIVES.UNIX-SW>UNIX-SW-ARCHIV.TXT
