spaf@gatech.CSNET (Gene Spafford) (04/22/86)
What follows is part 1 (of 2) of the Arpanet List of Lists. This list
is maintained by Rich Zellich and corresponds to the List of Active
Newsgroups which I maintain on the Usenet. Many of the groups listed
herein are gatewayed into Usenet newsgroups.
Note that uucp-only sites are usually not able to receive these lists
except through gatewayed Usenet newsgroups.
Part 2 of the list is in a companion article.

SUMMARY OF MAILING-LISTS IN THIS FILE:
PLEASE NOTE: The general convention is that for administrivia about a list
(like getting added or deleted, asking about archive files, etc.) you write
to list-REQUEST@host (e.g., HEADER-PEOPLE-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU). This
gets you to the moderator, rather than to the membership of the entire
mailing list. Please look carefully at the entry for each list you are
interested in, to see if a -REQUEST address has been provided.

HUMAN-NETS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Mailing list originally consisting of the combined memberships of
INFO-PCNET, HOME-SAT, and TELETEXT mailing lists. Human-Nets has discussed
many topics, all of them related in some way to the theme of a world-wide
computer and telecommunications network usually called WorldNet. The topics
have ranged very widely, from something like tutorials, to state of the art
discussions, to rampant speculation about technology and its impact. The
list is extremely large, making it necessary to batch messages sent to the
list and distributing them once each day during off peak periods to avoid
overloading the system.
The permanent archives contain all of the material distributed to the list.
Due to size, this archive is broken down into several different files,
stored in reverse temporal order. The files are currently stored on ARPANet
host RU-BLUE in files RHYTHM:<PLEASANT.HUMAN-NETS>HUMNET.* (where "*" is a
wild-card).
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.

INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM
[formerly Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM]
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132,
1185, 1186) and protocols. Their purpose is to stimulate communication and
sharing between computer science research groups that are using or are
interested in these machines.
Info-1100 is the "information channel" where messages such as announcements
of available lispusers packages may be made or for queries such as "Does
anybody know of a PUP file server implementation for the Sinclair ZX-80?"
It is intended to be a low-volume list suitable for the casual reader.
Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where readers can warn others of Interlisp-D
bugs and/or suggest workarounds or solicit help or discussion. It is
expected to have greater volume than Info-1100; being for the hard-core
user. Since hard-core users read both lists Bug-1100 is a subset of
Info-1100 and there is never a need to send to more than one list.
Xerox PARC, SIS, and AIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communication about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc.. Additionally, Info-1100 and Bug-1100 are automatically forwarded to
AISupport.pasa@Xerox, where bugs are noted and acted upon if appropriate.
Xerox AIS employees will not respond in Bug-1100 unless the reply is of
general interest or silence would mislead the readership.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT <BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
Some net-contributed lispusers packages, updates, and patches are filed in:
<LISPUSERS.INTERMEZZO> <LISPUSERS.KOTO> etc..
Requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems, questions,

INFO-FUTURES%BU-CS@CSNet-Relay.ARPA
INFO-FUTURES@BU-CS (CSNET)
...harvard!bu-cs!info-futures (UUCP)
Digest to provide a speculative forum for analyzing current and likely
events in technology as they will affect our near future in computing and
related areas. In broad terms, topics of interest include developments in
both computing research and industry which are likely to affect our decision
making, particularly decisions we are probably grappling with right this
minute. Technologies can change so rapidly that simply forecasting for
needs within any organization one or two years in advance can be extremely
difficult, frequently we are forced to provide foundations that effectively
lock us into a technology for longer periods of time. It is hoped the
information this list provides can help both the practitioner and researcher
determine where best to expend resources.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

INFO-IBMPC@USC-ISIB
Info-IBMPC is a forum for technical discussion of the IBM Personal Computer
and compatible micro-computers, providing a way for interested members of
the ARPANET community to compare notes, ask questions, and share insights of
a technical nature about these machines. While it is not primarily a
consumer's guide to the IBM PC, the digest may also be useful for that
purpose.
Messages are collected, edited into digests and distributed as the volume of
mail dictates (generally twice a week). All messages of a technical nature
about IBM PCs are welcomed; messages about other topics will not be run. In
addition, two topics are taboo and are routinely edited out: (1) self
promotion of products for sale, and (2) anything about copy protection.
Recent digests are archived on USC-ISIB in <INFO-IBMPC>DIGESTS-85. Older
digests are archived by quarter in the following files:
Q1-DIGESTS-85 ; V4 # 1-40 [too big for mm, use hermes]
Q4-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 91-119
Q3-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 70-90

be FTP'ed to any Arpanet/Milnet host from [USC-ISIB]<INFO-IBMPC> by
logging in within FTP using username ANONYMOUS, password GUEST. If
you're not directly on the Arpanet the files can be mailed to you,
although there is a limit to the length of a message.
A library of free software is maintained in [USC-ISIB]<INFO-IBMPC>. The
list of available programs is in <INFO-IBMPC>PROGRAM-LIBRARY.LIST. Donations
of source code are eagerly welcomed (even trivial programs). Donated

INFO-KERMIT@CU20B
Kermit is a file transfer protocol for use primarily between micros and
mainframes over TTY lines, and is implemented on a wide variety of both. The
Info-Kermit mailing list is a digest intended for people who maintain or
install Kermit at their sites, or who are (thinking about) working on a new
implementation, or who have bugs and/or fixes to report, or who are
interested in discussing the protocol; it is available on Internet, CSnet,
Mailnet, BITnet, Usenet, CCnet, and any other network gatewayed to the
Internet.
All the Kermit files are on CU20B in the area "KER:" or "K2:". The file
KER:AAAREAD.ME contains information on what files are in the Kermit
distribution area and how to find them. One file worth checking from time
to time is KER:AAVNEW.HLP, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. The file KER:AANETW.HLP lists in detail the procedures for
obtaining Kermit files via network.
Kermit files, including program source and documentation, are available as
follows:
Internet: anonymous FTP from host CU20B, area KER: or K2:, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
BITnet: from the KERMSRV server at host CUVMA; type SMSG RSCS MSG CUVMA
KERMSRV HELP for further information.
UUCP: from Oklahoma State University (host okstate) in Stillwater, OK.
Mail to uucp-support%okstate@CSNET-RELAY for further information.
Selected sources (usually Unix-related) are posted to net.sources from
time to time.
CCNET: DECnet NFT from host CU20B. Anonymous NFT connections are not
permitted from all hosts, so file transfers must be made by system
managers or programmers who have access to CU20B.
U.S. Mail: send requests for information to:
Kermit Distribution
Columbia University Center for Computing Activities
612 West 115 Street
New York, NY 10025
Info-Kermit mail was direct up until May 23, 1984, when it became a digest.
The pre-digest messages are in KER:MAIL.83A and KER:MAIL.84A. Volume 1 of
the digest is in KER:MAIL.84B. The current, active digest is in
KER:MAIL.TXT. From time to time, active digests will be retired to files
with names like KER:MAIL.85A, KER:MAIL.85B, and so on.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-KERMIT-REQUEST@CU20B. If your host does not
support long names in mail addesses, then just send to KERMIT@CU20B.

separate compilation with a module (compilation unit) broken into
specification and implementation parts with importing and exporting of
objects, controlled machine level access, and concurrent programming and
coroutines. Modula-2 has most of the power of Ada but is small enough that
excellent full implementations exist for CP/M 80.
Mail archives are stored on SIMTEL20 in file:
<ARCHIVES.MODULA-2>MODULA-2-ARCHIV.TXT
They are available via ANONYMOUS FTP from SIMTEL20 for those with TCP/IP

INFO-PCNET@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU
INFO-PCNET is a general mailing list to keep interested people advised of
major developments.
PCNET is a volunteer effort creating a computer network for personal use.
Although meant to be device independent, the current design is oriented to
use through the telephone system, particularly by computers with automatic
dialing and receipt of calls. PCNET will enable all computer users, whether
part of a formal network organization or individual owners of personal
computers, to communicate with each other effectively. PCNET is defining
communication protocols that assure that transmissions are correct
(retransmitting data that is lost or erroneous), and which allow multiple
logical data streams so that several programs can share a single hardware
communication link. PCNET has defined a worldwide addressing standard that
permits automatic forwarding of messages and files without having to know
the topology of the network.
PCNET is currently finising software on several machines (8080, 6502,
PDP-10) using several languages (Assembly language, LISP, C), and refining
the documentation; volunteer communications programmers are needed to
complete these tasks.
The PCNET files are on SIMTEL20 in directory PD:<PCNET>. SIMTEL20 supports
ANONYMOUS login within FTP them using any non-null password.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-PCNET-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU.

SUMMARY OF MAILING-LISTS IN THIS FILE:
PLEASE NOTE: The general convention is that for administrivia about a list
(like getting added or deleted, asking about archive files, etc.) you write
to list-REQUEST@host (e.g., HEADER-PEOPLE-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU). This
gets you to the moderator, rather than to the membership of the entire
mailing list. Please look carefully at the entry for each list you are
interested in, to see if a -REQUEST address has been provided.

HUMAN-NETS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Mailing list originally consisting of the combined memberships of
INFO-PCNET, HOME-SAT, and TELETEXT mailing lists. Human-Nets has discussed
many topics, all of them related in some way to the theme of a world-wide
computer and telecommunications network usually called WorldNet. The topics
have ranged very widely, from something like tutorials, to state of the art
discussions, to rampant speculation about technology and its impact. The
list is extremely large, making it necessary to batch messages sent to the
list and distributing them once each day during off peak periods to avoid
overloading the system.
The permanent archives contain all of the material distributed to the list.
Due to size, this archive is broken down into several different files,
stored in reverse temporal order. The files are currently stored on ARPANet
host RU-BLUE in files RHYTHM:<PLEASANT.HUMAN-NETS>HUMNET.* (where "*" is a
wild-card).
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.

INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM
[formerly Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM]
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132,
1185, 1186) and protocols. Their purpose is to stimulate communication and
sharing between computer science research groups that are using or are
interested in these machines.
Info-1100 is the "information channel" where messages such as announcements
of available lispusers packages may be made or for queries such as "Does
anybody know of a PUP file server implementation for the Sinclair ZX-80?"
It is intended to be a low-volume list suitable for the casual reader.
Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where readers can warn others of Interlisp-D
bugs and/or suggest workarounds or solicit help or discussion. It is
expected to have greater volume than Info-1100; being for the hard-core
user. Since hard-core users read both lists Bug-1100 is a subset of
Info-1100 and there is never a need to send to more than one list.
Xerox PARC, SIS, and AIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communication about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc.. Additionally, Info-1100 and Bug-1100 are automatically forwarded to
AISupport.pasa@Xerox, where bugs are noted and acted upon if appropriate.
Xerox AIS employees will not respond in Bug-1100 unless the reply is of
general interest or silence would mislead the readership.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT <BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
Some net-contributed lispusers packages, updates, and patches are filed in:
<LISPUSERS.INTERMEZZO> <LISPUSERS.KOTO> etc..
Requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems, questions,
etc. should be sent to Info-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM or
Bug-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM.
Coordinator: Christopher Schmidt <SCHMIDT@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA>
INFO-68K@UCBVAX
Mailing list for users of OS's capable of running on small 68000 systems,

INFO-FUTURES%BU-CS@CSNet-Relay.ARPA
INFO-FUTURES@BU-CS (CSNET)
...harvard!bu-cs!info-futures (UUCP)
Digest to provide a speculative forum for analyzing current and likely
events in technology as they will affect our near future in computing and
related areas. In broad terms, topics of interest include developments in
both computing research and industry which are likely to affect our decision
making, particularly decisions we are probably grappling with right this
minute. Technologies can change so rapidly that simply forecasting for
needs within any organization one or two years in advance can be extremely
difficult, frequently we are forced to provide foundations that effectively
lock us into a technology for longer periods of time. It is hoped the
information this list provides can help both the practitioner and researcher
determine where best to expend resources.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

INFO-IBMPC@USC-ISIB
Info-IBMPC is a forum for technical discussion of the IBM Personal Computer
and compatible micro-computers, providing a way for interested members of
the ARPANET community to compare notes, ask questions, and share insights of
a technical nature about these machines. While it is not primarily a
consumer's guide to the IBM PC, the digest may also be useful for that
purpose.
Messages are collected, edited into digests and distributed as the volume of
mail dictates (generally twice a week). All messages of a technical nature
about IBM PCs are welcomed; messages about other topics will not be run. In
addition, two topics are taboo and are routinely edited out: (1) self
promotion of products for sale, and (2) anything about copy protection.
Recent digests are archived on USC-ISIB in <INFO-IBMPC>DIGESTS-85. Older
digests are archived by quarter in the following files:
Q1-DIGESTS-85 ; V4 # 1-40 [too big for mm, use hermes]
Q4-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 91-119
Q3-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 70-90

Q34-DIGESTS-82 ; V1 # 1-34
These files can be read by MM, HERMES, and other TOPS20 mail systems.
KWIC-INDEX.TXT contains a key-word-in-context index to digest articles.
TOC.???85 contains a table of contents for the month ???. These files may
be FTP'ed to any Arpanet/Milnet host from [USC-ISIB]<INFO-IBMPC> by
logging in within FTP using username ANONYMOUS, password GUEST. If
you're not directly on the Arpanet the files can be mailed to you,
although there is a limit to the length of a message.
A library of free software is maintained in [USC-ISIB]<INFO-IBMPC>. The
list of available programs is in <INFO-IBMPC>PROGRAM-LIBRARY.LIST. Donations
of source code are eagerly welcomed (even trivial programs). Donated
programs must be truly free, with no fee or contribution required or
requested. To donate a program to the library, send a description of the
program along with a copy of the source code to INFO-IBMPC-REQUEST.

INFO-KERMIT@CU20B
Kermit is a file transfer protocol for use primarily between micros and
mainframes over TTY lines, and is implemented on a wide variety of both. The
Info-Kermit mailing list is a digest intended for people who maintain or
install Kermit at their sites, or who are (thinking about) working on a new
implementation, or who have bugs and/or fixes to report, or who are
interested in discussing the protocol; it is available on Internet, CSnet,
Mailnet, BITnet, Usenet, CCnet, and any other network gatewayed to the
Internet.
All the Kermit files are on CU20B in the area "KER:" or "K2:". The file
KER:AAAREAD.ME contains information on what files are in the Kermit
distribution area and how to find them. One file worth checking from time
to time is KER:AAVNEW.HLP, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. The file KER:AANETW.HLP lists in detail the procedures for
obtaining Kermit files via network.
Kermit files, including program source and documentation, are available as
follows:
Internet: anonymous FTP from host CU20B, area KER: or K2:, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
BITnet: from the KERMSRV server at host CUVMA; type SMSG RSCS MSG CUVMA
KERMSRV HELP for further information.
UUCP: from Oklahoma State University (host okstate) in Stillwater, OK.
Mail to uucp-support%okstate@CSNET-RELAY for further information.
Selected sources (usually Unix-related) are posted to net.sources from
time to time.
CCNET: DECnet NFT from host CU20B. Anonymous NFT connections are not
permitted from all hosts, so file transfers must be made by system
managers or programmers who have access to CU20B.
U.S. Mail: send requests for information to:
Kermit Distribution
Columbia University Center for Computing Activities
612 West 115 Street
New York, NY 10025
Info-Kermit mail was direct up until May 23, 1984, when it became a digest.
The pre-digest messages are in KER:MAIL.83A and KER:MAIL.84A. Volume 1 of
the digest is in KER:MAIL.84B. The current, active digest is in
KER:MAIL.TXT. From time to time, active digests will be retired to files
with names like KER:MAIL.85A, KER:MAIL.85B, and so on.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-KERMIT-REQUEST@CU20B. If your host does not
support long names in mail addesses, then just send to KERMIT@CU20B.

separate compilation with a module (compilation unit) broken into
specification and implementation parts with importing and exporting of
objects, controlled machine level access, and concurrent programming and
coroutines. Modula-2 has most of the power of Ada but is small enough that
excellent full implementations exist for CP/M 80.
Mail archives are stored on SIMTEL20 in file:
<ARCHIVES.MODULA-2>MODULA-2-ARCHIV.TXT
They are available via ANONYMOUS FTP from SIMTEL20 for those with TCP/IP

INFO-PCNET@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU
INFO-PCNET is a general mailing list to keep interested people advised of
major developments.
PCNET is a volunteer effort creating a computer network for personal use.
Although meant to be device independent, the current design is oriented to
use through the telephone system, particularly by computers with automatic
dialing and receipt of calls. PCNET will enable all computer users, whether
part of a formal network organization or individual owners of personal
computers, to communicate with each other effectively. PCNET is defining
communication protocols that assure that transmissions are correct
(retransmitting data that is lost or erroneous), and which allow multiple
logical data streams so that several programs can share a single hardware
communication link. PCNET has defined a worldwide addressing standard that
permits automatic forwarding of messages and files without having to know
the topology of the network.
PCNET is currently finising software on several machines (8080, 6502,
PDP-10) using several languages (Assembly language, LISP, C), and refining
the documentation; volunteer communications programmers are needed to
complete these tasks.
The PCNET files are on SIMTEL20 in directory PD:<PCNET>. SIMTEL20 supports
ANONYMOUS login within FTP them using any non-null password.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-PCNET-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU.

HUMAN-NETS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Mailing list originally consisting of the combined memberships of
INFO-PCNET, HOME-SAT, and TELETEXT mailing lists. Human-Nets has discussed
many topics, all of them related in some way to the theme of a world-wide
computer and telecommunications network usually called WorldNet. The topics
have ranged very widely, from something like tutorials, to state of the art
discussions, to rampant speculation about technology and its impact. The
list is extremely large, making it necessary to batch messages sent to the
list and distributing them once each day during off peak periods to avoid
overloading the system.
The permanent archives contain all of the material distributed to the list.
Due to size, this archive is broken down into several different files,
stored in reverse temporal order. The files are currently stored on ARPANet
host RU-BLUE in files RHYTHM:<PLEASANT.HUMAN-NETS>HUMNET.* (where "*" is a
wild-card).
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
Moderator: Charles McGrew <MCGREW@RED.RUTGERS.EDU>

INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM
[formerly Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM]
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132,
1185, 1186) and protocols. Their purpose is to stimulate communication and
sharing between computer science research groups that are using or are
interested in these machines.
Info-1100 is the "information channel" where messages such as announcements
of available lispusers packages may be made or for queries such as "Does
anybody know of a PUP file server implementation for the Sinclair ZX-80?"
It is intended to be a low-volume list suitable for the casual reader.
Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where readers can warn others of Interlisp-D
bugs and/or suggest workarounds or solicit help or discussion. It is
expected to have greater volume than Info-1100; being for the hard-core
user. Since hard-core users read both lists Bug-1100 is a subset of
Info-1100 and there is never a need to send to more than one list.
Xerox PARC, SIS, and AIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communication about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc.. Additionally, Info-1100 and Bug-1100 are automatically forwarded to
AISupport.pasa@Xerox, where bugs are noted and acted upon if appropriate.
Xerox AIS employees will not respond in Bug-1100 unless the reply is of
general interest or silence would mislead the readership.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT <BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
Some net-contributed lispusers packages, updates, and patches are filed in:
<LISPUSERS.INTERMEZZO> <LISPUSERS.KOTO> etc..
Requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems, questions,
etc. should be sent to Info-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM or
Bug-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM.
Coordinator: Christopher Schmidt <SCHMIDT@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA>
INFO-68K@UCBVAX
Mailing list for users of OS's capable of running on small 68000 systems,

INFO-FUTURES%BU-CS@CSNet-Relay.ARPA
INFO-FUTURES@BU-CS (CSNET)
...harvard!bu-cs!info-futures (UUCP)
Digest to provide a speculative forum for analyzing current and likely
events in technology as they will affect our near future in computing and
related areas. In broad terms, topics of interest include developments in
both computing research and industry which are likely to affect our decision
making, particularly decisions we are probably grappling with right this
minute. Technologies can change so rapidly that simply forecasting for
needs within any organization one or two years in advance can be extremely
difficult, frequently we are forced to provide foundations that effectively
lock us into a technology for longer periods of time. It is hoped the
information this list provides can help both the practitioner and researcher
determine where best to expend resources.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

INFO-IBMPC@USC-ISIB
Info-IBMPC is a forum for technical discussion of the IBM Personal Computer
and compatible micro-computers, providing a way for interested members of
the ARPANET community to compare notes, ask questions, and share insights of
a technical nature about these machines. While it is not primarily a
consumer's guide to the IBM PC, the digest may also be useful for that
purpose.
Messages are collected, edited into digests and distributed as the volume of
mail dictates (generally twice a week). All messages of a technical nature
about IBM PCs are welcomed; messages about other topics will not be run. In
addition, two topics are taboo and are routinely edited out: (1) self
promotion of products for sale, and (2) anything about copy protection.
Recent digests are archived on USC-ISIB in <INFO-IBMPC>DIGESTS-85. Older
digests are archived by quarter in the following files:
Q1-DIGESTS-85 ; V4 # 1-40 [too big for mm, use hermes]
Q4-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 91-119
Q3-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 70-90

INFO-KERMIT@CU20B
Kermit is a file transfer protocol for use primarily between micros and
mainframes over TTY lines, and is implemented on a wide variety of both. The
Info-Kermit mailing list is a digest intended for people who maintain or
install Kermit at their sites, or who are (thinking about) working on a new
implementation, or who have bugs and/or fixes to report, or who are
interested in discussing the protocol; it is available on Internet, CSnet,
Mailnet, BITnet, Usenet, CCnet, and any other network gatewayed to the
Internet.
All the Kermit files are on CU20B in the area "KER:" or "K2:". The file
KER:AAAREAD.ME contains information on what files are in the Kermit
distribution area and how to find them. One file worth checking from time
to time is KER:AAVNEW.HLP, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. The file KER:AANETW.HLP lists in detail the procedures for
obtaining Kermit files via network.
Kermit files, including program source and documentation, are available as
follows:
Internet: anonymous FTP from host CU20B, area KER: or K2:, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
BITnet: from the KERMSRV server at host CUVMA; type SMSG RSCS MSG CUVMA
KERMSRV HELP for further information.
UUCP: from Oklahoma State University (host okstate) in Stillwater, OK.
Mail to uucp-support%okstate@CSNET-RELAY for further information.
Selected sources (usually Unix-related) are posted to net.sources from
time to time.
CCNET: DECnet NFT from host CU20B. Anonymous NFT connections are not
permitted from all hosts, so file transfers must be made by system
managers or programmers who have access to CU20B.
U.S. Mail: send requests for information to:
Kermit Distribution
Columbia University Center for Computing Activities
612 West 115 Street
New York, NY 10025
Info-Kermit mail was direct up until May 23, 1984, when it became a digest.
The pre-digest messages are in KER:MAIL.83A and KER:MAIL.84A. Volume 1 of
the digest is in KER:MAIL.84B. The current, active digest is in
KER:MAIL.TXT. From time to time, active digests will be retired to files
with names like KER:MAIL.85A, KER:MAIL.85B, and so on.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-KERMIT-REQUEST@CU20B. If your host does not

objects, controlled machine level access, and concurrent programming and
coroutines. Modula-2 has most of the power of Ada but is small enough that
excellent full implementations exist for CP/M 80.

INFO-PCNET@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU
INFO-PCNET is a general mailing list to keep interested people advised of
major developments.
PCNET is a volunteer effort creating a computer network for personal use.
Although meant to be device independent, the current design is oriented to
use through the telephone system, particularly by computers with automatic
dialing and receipt of calls. PCNET will enable all computer users, whether
part of a formal network organization or individual owners of personal
computers, to communicate with each other effectively. PCNET is defining
communication protocols that assure that transmissions are correct
(retransmitting data that is lost or erroneous), and which allow multiple
logical data streams so that several programs can share a single hardware
communication link. PCNET has defined a worldwide addressing standard that
permits automatic forwarding of messages and files without having to know
the topology of the network.
PCNET is currently finising software on several machines (8080, 6502,
PDP-10) using several languages (Assembly language, LISP, C), and refining
the documentation; volunteer communications programmers are needed to
complete these tasks.
The PCNET files are on SIMTEL20 in directory PD:<PCNET>. SIMTEL20 supports
ANONYMOUS login within FTP them using any non-null password.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-PCNET-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU.

SUMMARY OF MAILING-LISTS IN THIS FILE:
PLEASE NOTE: The general convention is that for administrivia about a list
(like getting added or deleted, asking about archive files, etc.) you write
to list-REQUEST@host (e.g., HEADER-PEOPLE-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU). This
gets you to the moderator, rather than to the membership of the entire
mailing list. Please look carefully at the entry for each list you are
interested in, to see if a -REQUEST address has been provided.

EPSYNET%UHUPVM1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU
PSYCHNET (tm) is a psychology mailing list, sending out information 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 mailing list only. 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). Once per week ALL members receive the latest Psychnet Index, or
list of files available on the server machine. 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 Index.
Outside BitNet, 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.
Persons within BitNet may also sign up for the mailing list and will get the
Index weekly along with other news. Users within BitNet 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.
All requests to be added, deleted, or to have files distributed should be
sent to EPSYNET%UHUPVM1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU.
Coordinator: Robert C. Morecock, Psychnet Editor
<EPSYNET%UHUPVM1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU>
EVOLUTION@KESTREL
This direct-distribution mailing list is organized to discuss consequences
of the theory of evolution, with emphasis on mathematics, on computer
simulations, and on literature. While creationists in this group are
expected to be few in number, and while they may not reasonably expect to be
taken seriously unless they can introduce radically better evidence than
creationists have in the past, we have no agreement to limit discussion of
contraversal topics. The coordinator assumes no responsibility for opinions
expressed in the group or for misuse.
Archives are available only upon request to EVOLUTION-REQUEST@KESTREL.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to EVOLUTION-REQUEST@KESTREL.

HUMAN-NETS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Mailing list originally consisting of the combined memberships of
INFO-PCNET, HOME-SAT, and TELETEXT mailing lists. Human-Nets has discussed
many topics, all of them related in some way to the theme of a world-wide
computer and telecommunications network usually called WorldNet. The topics
have ranged very widely, from something like tutorials, to state of the art
discussions, to rampant speculation about technology and its impact. The
list is extremely large, making it necessary to batch messages sent to the
list and distributing them once each day during off peak periods to avoid
overloading the system.
The permanent archives contain all of the material distributed to the list.
Due to size, this archive is broken down into several different files,
stored in reverse temporal order. The files are currently stored on ARPANet
host RU-BLUE in files RHYTHM:<PLEASANT.HUMAN-NETS>HUMNET.* (where "*" is a
wild-card).
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM
[formerly Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM]
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132,
1185, 1186) and protocols. Their purpose is to stimulate communication and
sharing between computer science research groups that are using or are
interested in these machines.
Info-1100 is the "information channel" where messages such as announcements
of available lispusers packages may be made or for queries such as "Does
anybody know of a PUP file server implementation for the Sinclair ZX-80?"
It is intended to be a low-volume list suitable for the casual reader.
Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where readers can warn others of Interlisp-D
bugs and/or suggest workarounds or solicit help or discussion. It is
expected to have greater volume than Info-1100; being for the hard-core
user. Since hard-core users read both lists Bug-1100 is a subset of
Info-1100 and there is never a need to send to more than one list.
Xerox PARC, SIS, and AIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communication about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc.. Additionally, Info-1100 and Bug-1100 are automatically forwarded to
AISupport.pasa@Xerox, where bugs are noted and acted upon if appropriate.
Xerox AIS employees will not respond in Bug-1100 unless the reply is of
general interest or silence would mislead the readership.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT <BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
Some net-contributed lispusers packages, updates, and patches are filed in:
<LISPUSERS.INTERMEZZO> <LISPUSERS.KOTO> etc..
Requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems, questions,
etc. should be sent to Info-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM or
Bug-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM.

INFO-FUTURES%BU-CS@CSNet-Relay.ARPA
INFO-FUTURES@BU-CS (CSNET)
...harvard!bu-cs!info-futures (UUCP)
Digest to provide a speculative forum for analyzing current and likely
events in technology as they will affect our near future in computing and
related areas. In broad terms, topics of interest include developments in
both computing research and industry which are likely to affect our decision
making, particularly decisions we are probably grappling with right this
minute. Technologies can change so rapidly that simply forecasting for
needs within any organization one or two years in advance can be extremely
difficult, frequently we are forced to provide foundations that effectively
lock us into a technology for longer periods of time. It is hoped the
information this list provides can help both the practitioner and researcher
determine where best to expend resources.

INFO-IBMPC@USC-ISIB
Info-IBMPC is a forum for technical discussion of the IBM Personal Computer
and compatible micro-computers, providing a way for interested members of
the ARPANET community to compare notes, ask questions, and share insights of
a technical nature about these machines. While it is not primarily a
consumer's guide to the IBM PC, the digest may also be useful for that
purpose.
Messages are collected, edited into digests and distributed as the volume of
mail dictates (generally twice a week). All messages of a technical nature
about IBM PCs are welcomed; messages about other topics will not be run. In
addition, two topics are taboo and are routinely edited out: (1) self
promotion of products for sale, and (2) anything about copy protection.
Recent digests are archived on USC-ISIB in <INFO-IBMPC>DIGESTS-85. Older
digests are archived by quarter in the following files:
Q1-DIGESTS-85 ; V4 # 1-40 [too big for mm, use hermes]
Q4-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 91-119
Q3-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 70-90

These files can be read by MM, HERMES, and other TOPS20 mail systems.
KWIC-INDEX.TXT contains a key-word-in-context index to digest articles.
TOC.???85 contains a table of contents for the month ???. These files may
be FTP'ed to any Arpanet/Milnet host from [USC-ISIB]<INFO-IBMPC> by
logging in within FTP using username ANONYMOUS, password GUEST. If
you're not directly on the Arpanet the files can be mailed to you,
although there is a limit to the length of a message.
A library of free software is maintained in [USC-ISIB]<INFO-IBMPC>. The
list of available programs is in <INFO-IBMPC>PROGRAM-LIBRARY.LIST. Donations
of source code are eagerly welcomed (even trivial programs). Donated

INFO-KERMIT@CU20B
Kermit is a file transfer protocol for use primarily between micros and
mainframes over TTY lines, and is implemented on a wide variety of both. The
Info-Kermit mailing list is a digest intended for people who maintain or
install Kermit at their sites, or who are (thinking about) working on a new
implementation, or who have bugs and/or fixes to report, or who are
interested in discussing the protocol; it is available on Internet, CSnet,
Mailnet, BITnet, Usenet, CCnet, and any other network gatewayed to the
Internet.
All the Kermit files are on CU20B in the area "KER:" or "K2:". The file
KER:AAAREAD.ME contains information on what files are in the Kermit
distribution area and how to find them. One file worth checking from time
to time is KER:AAVNEW.HLP, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. The file KER:AANETW.HLP lists in detail the procedures for
obtaining Kermit files via network.
Kermit files, including program source and documentation, are available as
follows:
Internet: anonymous FTP from host CU20B, area KER: or K2:, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
BITnet: from the KERMSRV server at host CUVMA; type SMSG RSCS MSG CUVMA
KERMSRV HELP for further information.
UUCP: from Oklahoma State University (host okstate) in Stillwater, OK.
Mail to uucp-support%okstate@CSNET-RELAY for further information.
Selected sources (usually Unix-related) are posted to net.sources from
time to time.
CCNET: DECnet NFT from host CU20B. Anonymous NFT connections are not
permitted from all hosts, so file transfers must be made by system
managers or programmers who have access to CU20B.
U.S. Mail: send requests for information to:
Kermit Distribution
Columbia University Center for Computing Activities
612 West 115 Street
New York, NY 10025
Info-Kermit mail was direct up until May 23, 1984, when it became a digest.
The pre-digest messages are in KER:MAIL.83A and KER:MAIL.84A. Volume 1 of
the digest is in KER:MAIL.84B. The current, active digest is in
KER:MAIL.TXT. From time to time, active digests will be retired to files
with names like KER:MAIL.85A, KER:MAIL.85B, and so on.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-KERMIT-REQUEST@CU20B. If your host does not
support long names in mail addesses, then just send to KERMIT@CU20B.

an updated statement syntax (generalized LOOP, EXIT, RETURN, no GOTO),
separate compilation with a module (compilation unit) broken into
specification and implementation parts with importing and exporting of
objects, controlled machine level access, and concurrent programming and
coroutines. Modula-2 has most of the power of Ada but is small enough that
excellent full implementations exist for CP/M 80.
Mail archives are stored on SIMTEL20 in file:

INFO-PCNET@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU
INFO-PCNET is a general mailing list to keep interested people advised of
major developments.
PCNET is a volunteer effort creating a computer network for personal use.
Although meant to be device independent, the current design is oriented to
use through the telephone system, particularly by computers with automatic
dialing and receipt of calls. PCNET will enable all computer users, whether
part of a formal network organization or individual owners of personal
computers, to communicate with each other effectively. PCNET is defining
communication protocols that assure that transmissions are correct
(retransmitting data that is lost or erroneous), and which allow multiple
logical data streams so that several programs can share a single hardware
communication link. PCNET has defined a worldwide addressing standard that
permits automatic forwarding of messages and files without having to know
the topology of the network.
PCNET is currently finising software on several machines (8080, 6502,
PDP-10) using several languages (Assembly language, LISP, C), and refining
the documentation; volunteer communications programmers are needed to
complete these tasks.
The PCNET files are on SIMTEL20 in directory PD:<PCNET>. SIMTEL20 supports
ANONYMOUS login within FTP them using any non-null password.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-PCNET-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU.

EPSYNET@UHUPVM1 (BitNet)
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.

EVOLUTION@KESTREL
This direct-distribution mailing list is organized to discuss consequences
of the theory of evolution, with emphasis on mathematics, on computer
simulations, and on literature. While creationists in this group are
expected to be few in number, and while they may not reasonably expect to be
taken seriously unless they can introduce radically better evidence than
creationists have in the past, we have no agreement to limit discussion of
contraversal topics. The coordinator assumes no responsibility for opinions
expressed in the group or for misuse.
Archives are available only upon request to EVOLUTION-REQUEST@KESTREL.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to EVOLUTION-REQUEST@KESTREL.

HUMAN-NETS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Mailing list originally consisting of the combined memberships of
INFO-PCNET, HOME-SAT, and TELETEXT mailing lists. Human-Nets has discussed
many topics, all of them related in some way to the theme of a world-wide
computer and telecommunications network usually called WorldNet. The topics
have ranged very widely, from something like tutorials, to state of the art
discussions, to rampant speculation about technology and its impact. The
list is extremely large, making it necessary to batch messages sent to the
list and distributing them once each day during off peak periods to avoid
overloading the system.
The permanent archives contain all of the material distributed to the list.
Due to size, this archive is broken down into several different files,
stored in reverse temporal order. The files are currently stored on ARPANet
host RU-BLUE in files RHYTHM:<PLEASANT.HUMAN-NETS>HUMNET.* (where "*" is a
wild-card).
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.

INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM
[formerly Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM]
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132,
1185, 1186) and protocols. Their purpose is to stimulate communication and
sharing between computer science research groups that are using or are
interested in these machines.
Info-1100 is the "information channel" where messages such as announcements
of available lispusers packages may be made or for queries such as "Does
anybody know of a PUP file server implementation for the Sinclair ZX-80?"
It is intended to be a low-volume list suitable for the casual reader.
Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where readers can warn others of Interlisp-D
bugs and/or suggest workarounds or solicit help or discussion. It is
expected to have greater volume than Info-1100; being for the hard-core
user. Since hard-core users read both lists Bug-1100 is a subset of
Info-1100 and there is never a need to send to more than one list.
Xerox PARC, SIS, and AIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communication about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc.. Additionally, Info-1100 and Bug-1100 are automatically forwarded to
AISupport.pasa@Xerox, where bugs are noted and acted upon if appropriate.
Xerox AIS employees will not respond in Bug-1100 unless the reply is of
general interest or silence would mislead the readership.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT <BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
Some net-contributed lispusers packages, updates, and patches are filed in:
<LISPUSERS.INTERMEZZO> <LISPUSERS.KOTO> etc..
Requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems, questions,
etc. should be sent to Info-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM or
Bug-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM.

INFO-FUTURES%BU-CS@CSNet-Relay.ARPA
INFO-FUTURES@BU-CS (CSNET)
...harvard!bu-cs!info-futures (UUCP)
Digest to provide a speculative forum for analyzing current and likely
events in technology as they will affect our near future in computing and
related areas. In broad terms, topics of interest include developments in
both computing research and industry which are likely to affect our decision
making, particularly decisions we are probably grappling with right this
minute. Technologies can change so rapidly that simply forecasting for
needs within any organization one or two years in advance can be extremely
difficult, frequently we are forced to provide foundations that effectively
lock us into a technology for longer periods of time. It is hoped the
information this list provides can help both the practitioner and researcher
determine where best to expend resources.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

INFO-IBMPC@USC-ISIB
Info-IBMPC is a forum for technical discussion of the IBM Personal Computer
and compatible micro-computers, providing a way for interested members of
the ARPANET community to compare notes, ask questions, and share insights of
a technical nature about these machines. While it is not primarily a
consumer's guide to the IBM PC, the digest may also be useful for that
purpose.
Messages are collected, edited into digests and distributed as the volume of
mail dictates (generally twice a week). All messages of a technical nature
about IBM PCs are welcomed; messages about other topics will not be run. In
addition, two topics are taboo and are routinely edited out: (1) self
promotion of products for sale, and (2) anything about copy protection.
Recent digests are archived on USC-ISIB in <INFO-IBMPC>DIGESTS-85. Older
digests are archived by quarter in the following files:
Q1-DIGESTS-85 ; V4 # 1-40 [too big for mm, use hermes]
Q4-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 91-119
Q3-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 70-90

These files can be read by MM, HERMES, and other TOPS20 mail systems.
KWIC-INDEX.TXT contains a key-word-in-context index to digest articles.
TOC.???85 contains a table of contents for the month ???. These files may
be FTP'ed to any Arpanet/Milnet host from [USC-ISIB]<INFO-IBMPC> by
logging in within FTP using username ANONYMOUS, password GUEST. If
you're not directly on the Arpanet the files can be mailed to you,
although there is a limit to the length of a message.
A library of free software is maintained in [USC-ISIB]<INFO-IBMPC>. The
list of available programs is in <INFO-IBMPC>PROGRAM-LIBRARY.LIST. Donations
of source code are eagerly welcomed (even trivial programs). Donated
programs must be truly free, with no fee or contribution required or
requested. To donate a program to the library, send a description of the
program along with a copy of the source code to INFO-IBMPC-REQUEST.

INFO-KERMIT@CU20B
Kermit is a file transfer protocol for use primarily between micros and
mainframes over TTY lines, and is implemented on a wide variety of both. The
Info-Kermit mailing list is a digest intended for people who maintain or
install Kermit at their sites, or who are (thinking about) working on a new
implementation, or who have bugs and/or fixes to report, or who are
interested in discussing the protocol; it is available on Internet, CSnet,
Mailnet, BITnet, Usenet, CCnet, and any other network gatewayed to the
Internet.
All the Kermit files are on CU20B in the area "KER:" or "K2:". The file
KER:AAAREAD.ME contains information on what files are in the Kermit
distribution area and how to find them. One file worth checking from time
to time is KER:AAVNEW.HLP, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. The file KER:AANETW.HLP lists in detail the procedures for
obtaining Kermit files via network.
Kermit files, including program source and documentation, are available as
follows:
Internet: anonymous FTP from host CU20B, area KER: or K2:, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
BITnet: from the KERMSRV server at host CUVMA; type SMSG RSCS MSG CUVMA
KERMSRV HELP for further information.
UUCP: from Oklahoma State University (host okstate) in Stillwater, OK.
Mail to uucp-support%okstate@CSNET-RELAY for further information.
Selected sources (usually Unix-related) are posted to net.sources from
time to time.
CCNET: DECnet NFT from host CU20B. Anonymous NFT connections are not
permitted from all hosts, so file transfers must be made by system
managers or programmers who have access to CU20B.
U.S. Mail: send requests for information to:
Kermit Distribution
Columbia University Center for Computing Activities
612 West 115 Street
New York, NY 10025

The pre-digest messages are in KER:MAIL.83A and KER:MAIL.84A. Volume 1 of
the digest is in KER:MAIL.84B. The current, active digest is in
KER:MAIL.TXT. From time to time, active digests will be retired to files
with names like KER:MAIL.85A, KER:MAIL.85B, and so on.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-KERMIT-REQUEST@CU20B. If your host does not

message in each particular file. "PS:<ARCHIVES.MICRO>MICRO-ARCHIV.TXT"
contains a growing archive of current correspondence.
Over 80 megabytes of public domain software (most of it CP/M) are kept in
five program archives on SIMTEL20. For a description of these archives,
request a copy of the "archive blurb" from INFO-CPM-REQUEST@AMSAA. All
correspondence and program archives described here are available to
Internet users via FTP with user-name ANONYMOUS.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-MICRO-REQUEST@BRL.
Coordinator: Ron Natalie <ron@BRL>
INFO-MODEM7@SIMTEL20.ARPA
Discussion group for the CP/M MODEM7 Christensen protocol file transfer
program. The group is concerned with development, upgrades and bug-fixes.
It is probably of no interest to most users of the program because as new
versions are released they are announced to INFO-CPM.
The current INFO-MODEM7 archives, started with the move from MC to SIMTEL20,
are kept in PS:<ARCHIVES.MODEM7>MODEM7-ARCHIV.TXT.
If and when the older archives are located, that file will be placed in
PS:<ARCHIVES.MODEM7>INFO-MODEM7.ARCHIV.ymmdd.
These files are available via ANONYMOUS FTP from SIMTEL20 for those with
TCP/IP access to the Internet.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-MODEM7-REQUEST@SIMTEL20.ARPA.
Coordinator: Keith Petersen <KPETERSEN@SIMTEL20.ARPA>
INFO-MODEMXX@SIMTEL20.ARPA
For announcement of the availability of updates to the TOPS-20 version of
the MODEM program, originally authored by Bill Westfield (BILLW@SCORE), and
currently maintained by Frank Wancho (WANCHO@SIMTEL20.ARPA).
Archives are kept on SIMTEL20 in files:
PS:<ARCHIVES.MODEMXX>MODEMXX-ARCHIV.TXT (current archives)
PS:<ARCHIVES.MODEMXX>MODEMXX.ARCHIV.31013 (old archives)

Coordinator: Frank J. Wancho <WANCHO@SIMTEL20.ARPA>
INFO-MODULA-2@ROCHESTER.ARPA
A discussion list for the Modula-2 programming language. Modula-2 is a
language by Niklaus Wirth which extends the Pascal foundation by providing
an updated statement syntax (generalized LOOP, EXIT, RETURN, no GOTO),
separate compilation with a module (compilation unit) broken into
specification and implementation parts with importing and exporting of
objects, controlled machine level access, and concurrent programming and
coroutines. Modula-2 has most of the power of Ada but is small enough that
excellent full implementations exist for CP/M 80.
Mail archives are stored on SIMTEL20 in file:
<ARCHIVES.MODULA-2>MODULA-2-ARCHIV.TXT
They are available via ANONYMOUS FTP from SIMTEL20 for those with TCP/IP
access to the Internet.

INFO-PCNET@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU
INFO-PCNET is a general mailing list to keep interested people advised of
major developments.
PCNET is a volunteer effort creating a computer network for personal use.
Although meant to be device independent, the current design is oriented to
use through the telephone system, particularly by computers with automatic
dialing and receipt of calls. PCNET will enable all computer users, whether
part of a formal network organization or individual owners of personal
computers, to communicate with each other effectively. PCNET is defining
communication protocols that assure that transmissions are correct
(retransmitting data that is lost or erroneous), and which allow multiple
logical data streams so that several programs can share a single hardware
communication link. PCNET has defined a worldwide addressing standard that
permits automatic forwarding of messages and files without having to know
the topology of the network.
PCNET is currently finising software on several machines (8080, 6502,
PDP-10) using several languages (Assembly language, LISP, C), and refining
the documentation; volunteer communications programmers are needed to
complete these tasks.
The PCNET files are on SIMTEL20 in directory PD:<PCNET>. SIMTEL20 supports
ANONYMOUS login within FTP them using any non-null password.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-PCNET-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU.

HUMAN-NETS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Mailing list originally consisting of the combined memberships of
INFO-PCNET, HOME-SAT, and TELETEXT mailing lists. Human-Nets has discussed
many topics, all of them related in some way to the theme of a world-wide
computer and telecommunications network usually called WorldNet. The topics
have ranged very widely, from something like tutorials, to state of the art
discussions, to rampant speculation about technology and its impact. The
list is extremely large, making it necessary to batch messages sent to the
list and distributing them once each day during off peak periods to avoid
overloading the system.
The permanent archives contain all of the material distributed to the list.
Due to size, this archive is broken down into several different files,
stored in reverse temporal order. The files are currently stored on ARPANet
host RU-BLUE in files RHYTHM:<PLEASANT.HUMAN-NETS>HUMNET.* (where "*" is a
wild-card).
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132,
1185, 1186) and protocols. Their purpose is to stimulate communication and
sharing between computer science research groups that are using or are
interested in these machines.
Info-1100 is the "information channel" where messages such as announcements
of available lispusers packages may be made or for queries such as "Does
anybody know of a PUP file server implementation for the Sinclair ZX-80?".
It is intended to be a low-volume list suitable for the casual reader.
Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where readers can warn others of Interlisp-D
bugs and/or suggest workarounds or solicit help or discussion; it is
expected to have greater volume than Info-1100, being for the hard-core
user. Since hard-core users read both lists, Bug-1100 is a subset of
Info-1100 and there is never a need to send to both lists.
Xerox PARC, SIS, and AIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communication about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc.. Additionally, Info-1100 and Bug-1100 are automatically forwarded to
AISupport.pasa@Xerox, where bugs are noted and acted upon if appropriate.
Xerox AIS employees will not respond in Bug-1100 unless the reply is of
general interest or silence would mislead the readership.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT <BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
Some net-contributed lispusers packages, updates, and patches are kept on
SUMEX-AIM in files:
<LISPUSERS.INTERMEZZO> <LISPUSERS.KOTO> etc.
Requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems, questions,
etc. should be sent to Info-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU or
Bug-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU.

INFO-FUTURES%BU-CS@CSNet-Relay.ARPA
INFO-FUTURES@BU-CS (CSNET)
...harvard!bu-cs!info-futures (UUCP)
Digest to provide a speculative forum for analyzing current and likely
events in technology as they will affect our near future in computing and
related areas. In broad terms, topics of interest include developments in
both computing research and industry which are likely to affect our decision
making, particularly decisions we are probably grappling with right this
minute. Technologies can change so rapidly that simply forecasting for
needs within any organization one or two years in advance can be extremely
difficult, frequently we are forced to provide foundations that effectively
lock us into a technology for longer periods of time. It is hoped the
information this list provides can help both the practitioner and researcher
determine where best to expend resources.

INFO-IBMPC@USC-ISIB
Info-IBMPC is a forum for technical discussion of the IBM Personal Computer
and compatible micro-computers, providing a way for interested members of
the ARPANET community to compare notes, ask questions, and share insights of
a technical nature about these machines. While it is not primarily a
consumer's guide to the IBM PC, the digest may also be useful for that
purpose.
Messages are collected, edited into digests and distributed as the volume of
mail dictates (generally twice a week). All messages of a technical nature
about IBM PCs are welcomed; messages about other topics will not be run. In
addition, two topics are taboo and are routinely edited out: (1) self
promotion of products for sale, and (2) anything about copy protection.
Recent digests are archived on USC-ISIB in <INFO-IBMPC>DIGESTS-85. Older
digests are archived by quarter in the following files:
Q1-DIGESTS-85 ; V4 # 1-40 [too big for mm, use hermes]

INFO-MAC@SUMEX-AIM
Network interest group for the Apple Macintosh computer. This list is
SUMEX's contribution to the community of research and instructional
developers and users of the Macintosh; all submissions of messages and
programs in this spirit are welcome.
For those sites with FTP access to SUMEX-AIM, archives for INFO-MAC are kept
under {SUMEX-AIM}<INFO-MAC>ARCHIVE.<month>, where month =
feb84,mar84,...jan85,... Programs submitted to the bulletin board, along
with documentation files and other references are also stored in <INFO-MAC>.
With FTP access as user "anonymous" and any password,you can bring these
files over to your host and download them to your Macintosh. "Usenet" and
some of the other networks that copy info-mac will see sources redistributed
at the time they are mentioned in the digest distributions. You can in
addition, purchase a dump tape of the directory; see the file
<INFO-MAC>00ORDER.
<INFO-MAC> is also the repository for the development tools and utilities
developed at SUMEX and at other universities. The "sumacc" cross compiler is
also available on tape for a minimal charge: See the file
<INFO-MAC>SUMACC.ORDER
Messages to INFO-MAC@SUMEX-AIM are scanned to filter out any list requests,
questions previously answered, pure speculation or opinion, or message
obviously not in line with the stated purpose of the list.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-MAC-REQUEST@SUMEX-AIM.
Coordinator: John Mark Agosta <INFO-MAC-REQUEST@SUMEX-AIM>

questions relating to the MacFORTH programming environment by CSI, Inc.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-MACFORTH-REQUEST@HARVARD (ARPANET) or
ihnp4!harvard!info-macforth-request (UUCP).
Coordinator: Stew Rubenstein <lhasa!stew@harvard>
INFO-MICRO@BRL
Information/discussion list on the general interest topic of microcomputers.
Questions/discussions on a particular Operating System, such as CP/M, should
be addressed to the specific list if one already exists (such as
INFO-CPM@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU (or @BRL) for this example).
Archives of recent correspondence are kept on SIMTEL20 in several files:
"PS:<ARCHIVES.MICRO>MICRO.ARCHIV.ymmdd" is a group of files containing
correspondence going back several years. The characters "ymmdd" in the
file names are actually digits giving the year, month and day of the last
message in each particular file. "PS:<ARCHIVES.MICRO>MICRO-ARCHIV.TXT"
contains a growing archive of current correspondence.
Over 80 megabytes of public domain software (most of it CP/M) are kept in
five program archives on SIMTEL20. For a description of these archives,
request a copy of the "archive blurb" from INFO-CPM-REQUEST@AMSAA. All
correspondence and program archives described here are available to
Internet users via FTP with user-name ANONYMOUS.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-MICRO-REQUEST@BRL.
Coordinator: Ron Natalie <ron@BRL>
INFO-MODEM7@SIMTEL20.ARPA
Discussion group for the CP/M MODEM7 Christensen protocol file transfer
program. The group is concerned with development, upgrades and bug-fixes.
It is probably of no interest to most users of the program because as new
versions are released they are announced to INFO-CPM.
The current INFO-MODEM7 archives, started with the move from MC to SIMTEL20,
are kept in PS:<ARCHIVES.MODEM7>MODEM7-ARCHIV.TXT.
If and when the older archives are located, that file will be placed in
PS:<ARCHIVES.MODEM7>INFO-MODEM7.ARCHIV.ymmdd.
These files are available via ANONYMOUS FTP from SIMTEL20 for those with
TCP/IP access to the Internet.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-MODEM7-REQUEST@SIMTEL20.ARPA.
Coordinator: Keith Petersen <KPETERSEN@SIMTEL20.ARPA>
INFO-MODULA-2@ROCHESTER.ARPA
A discussion list for the Modula-2 programming language. Modula-2 is a
language by Niklaus Wirth which extends the Pascal foundation by providing
an updated statement syntax (generalized LOOP, EXIT, RETURN, no GOTO),
separate compilation with a module (compilation unit) broken into
specification and implementation parts with importing and exporting of
objects, controlled machine level access, and concurrent programming and
coroutines. Modula-2 has most of the power of Ada but is small enough that
excellent full implementations exist for CP/M 80.
Mail archives are stored on SIMTEL20 in file:
<ARCHIVES.MODULA-2>MODULA-2-ARCHIV.TXT
They are available via ANONYMOUS FTP from SIMTEL20 for those with TCP/IP
access to the Internet.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-MODULA-2-REQUEST@ROCHESTER.ARPA.
Coordinator: Ken Yap <ken%ur-seneca.local@ROCHESTER.ARPA>
INFO-NETS%MIT-OZ@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU
Mailing list to gather information on the bitnet, and other, networks. The
list mostly concerns itself with specific questions about particular
networks; requests for specific information are accepted.
The bitnet host table is being expanded to cover other networks; it will be
called "common; nets hosts" on MIT-MC and "<common>nets.hosttab" on MIT-OZ.
A domain-style addressing will be supported in the table. Other files are
also maintained on both MIT-OZ and MIT-MC.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-NETS-REQUEST%MIT-OZ@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU.

INFO-PCNET@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU
INFO-PCNET is a general mailing list to keep interested people advised of
major developments.
PCNET is a volunteer effort creating a computer network for personal use.
Although meant to be device independent, the current design is oriented to
use through the telephone system, particularly by computers with automatic
dialing and receipt of calls. PCNET will enable all computer users, whether
part of a formal network organization or individual owners of personal
computers, to communicate with each other effectively. PCNET is defining
communication protocols that assure that transmissions are correct
(retransmitting data that is lost or erroneous), and which allow multiple
logical data streams so that several programs can share a single hardware
communication link. PCNET has defined a worldwide addressing standard that
permits automatic forwarding of messages and files without having to know
the topology of the network.
PCNET is currently finising software on several machines (8080, 6502,
PDP-10) using several languages (Assembly language, LISP, C), and refining
the documentation; volunteer communications programmers are needed to
complete these tasks.
The PCNET files are on SIMTEL20 in directory PD:<PCNET>. SIMTEL20 supports
ANONYMOUS login within FTP them using any non-null password.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-PCNET-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU.

What follows is part 1 (of 2) of the Arpanet List of Lists. This list
is maintained by Rich Zellich and corresponds to the List of Active
Newsgroups which I maintain on the Usenet. Many of the groups listed
herein are gatewayed into Usenet newsgroups.
Note that uucp-only sites are usually not able to receive these lists
except through gatewayed Usenet newsgroups.
Part 2 of the list is in a companion article.

gets you to the moderator, rather than to the membership of the entire
mailing list. Please look carefully at the entry for each list you are
interested in, to see if a -REQUEST address has been provided.

HUMAN-NETS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Mailing list originally consisting of the combined memberships of
INFO-PCNET, HOME-SAT, and TELETEXT mailing lists. Human-Nets has discussed
many topics, all of them related in some way to the theme of a world-wide
computer and telecommunications network usually called WorldNet. The topics
have ranged very widely, from something like tutorials, to state of the art
discussions, to rampant speculation about technology and its impact. The
list is extremely large, making it necessary to batch messages sent to the
list and distributing them once each day during off peak periods to avoid
overloading the system.
The permanent archives contain all of the material distributed to the list.
Due to size, this archive is broken down into several different files,
stored in reverse temporal order. The files are currently stored on ARPANet
host RU-BLUE in files RHYTHM:<PLEASANT.HUMAN-NETS>HUMNET.* (where "*" is a
wild-card).

INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132,
1185, 1186) and protocols. Their purpose is to stimulate communication and
sharing between computer science research groups that are using or are
interested in these machines.
Info-1100 is the "information channel" where messages such as announcements
of available lispusers packages may be made or for queries such as "Does
anybody know of a PUP file server implementation for the Sinclair ZX-80?".
It is intended to be a low-volume list suitable for the casual reader.
Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where readers can warn others of Interlisp-D
bugs and/or suggest workarounds or solicit help or discussion; it is
expected to have greater volume than Info-1100, being for the hard-core
user. Since hard-core users read both lists, Bug-1100 is a subset of
Info-1100 and there is never a need to send to both lists.
Xerox PARC, SIS, and AIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communication about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc.. Additionally, Info-1100 and Bug-1100 are automatically forwarded to
AISupport.pasa@Xerox, where bugs are noted and acted upon if appropriate.
Xerox AIS employees will not respond in Bug-1100 unless the reply is of
general interest or silence would mislead the readership.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT <BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
Some net-contributed lispusers packages, updates, and patches are kept on
SUMEX-AIM in files:
<LISPUSERS.INTERMEZZO> <LISPUSERS.KOTO> etc.
Requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems, questions,
etc. should be sent to Info-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU or

INFO-FUTURES%BU-CS@CSNet-Relay.ARPA
INFO-FUTURES@BU-CS (CSNET)
...harvard!bu-cs!info-futures (UUCP)
Digest to provide a speculative forum for analyzing current and likely
events in technology as they will affect our near future in computing and
related areas. In broad terms, topics of interest include developments in
both computing research and industry which are likely to affect our decision
making, particularly decisions we are probably grappling with right this
minute. Technologies can change so rapidly that simply forecasting for
needs within any organization one or two years in advance can be extremely
difficult, frequently we are forced to provide foundations that effectively
lock us into a technology for longer periods of time. It is hoped the
information this list provides can help both the practitioner and researcher
determine where best to expend resources.

INFO-IBMPC@USC-ISIB
Info-IBMPC is a forum for technical discussion of the IBM Personal Computer
and compatible micro-computers, providing a way for interested members of
the ARPANET community to compare notes, ask questions, and share insights of
a technical nature about these machines. While it is not primarily a
consumer's guide to the IBM PC, the digest may also be useful for that
purpose.
Messages are collected, edited into digests and distributed as the volume of
mail dictates (generally twice a week). All messages of a technical nature
about IBM PCs are welcomed; messages about other topics will not be run. In
addition, two topics are taboo and are routinely edited out: (1) self
promotion of products for sale, and (2) anything about copy protection.
Recent digests are archived on USC-ISIB in <INFO-IBMPC>DIGESTS-85. Older
digests are archived by quarter in the following files:
Q1-DIGESTS-85 ; V4 # 1-40 [too big for mm, use hermes]
Q4-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 91-119
Q3-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 70-90
Q2-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 36-69
Q1-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 1-35

Q2-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 20-39
Q1-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 1-19
Q34-DIGESTS-82 ; V1 # 1-34
These files can be read by MM, HERMES, and other TOPS20 mail systems.
KWIC-INDEX.TXT contains a key-word-in-context index to digest articles.
TOC.???85 contains a table of contents for the month ???. These files may
be FTP'ed to any Arpanet/Milnet host from [USC-ISIB]<INFO-IBMPC> by
logging in within FTP using username ANONYMOUS, password GUEST. If
you're not directly on the Arpanet the files can be mailed to you,
although there is a limit to the length of a message.
A library of free software is maintained in [USC-ISIB]<INFO-IBMPC>. The
list of available programs is in <INFO-IBMPC>PROGRAM-LIBRARY.LIST. Donations
of source code are eagerly welcomed (even trivial programs). Donated
programs must be truly free, with no fee or contribution required or
requested. To donate a program to the library, send a description of the
program along with a copy of the source code to INFO-IBMPC-REQUEST.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

INFO-KERMIT@CU20B
Kermit is a file transfer protocol for use primarily between micros and
mainframes over TTY lines, and is implemented on a wide variety of both. The
Info-Kermit mailing list is a digest intended for people who maintain or
install Kermit at their sites, or who are (thinking about) working on a new
implementation, or who have bugs and/or fixes to report, or who are
interested in discussing the protocol; it is available on Internet, CSnet,
Mailnet, BITnet, Usenet, CCnet, and any other network gatewayed to the
Internet.
All the Kermit files are on CU20B in the area "KER:" or "K2:". The file
KER:AAAREAD.ME contains information on what files are in the Kermit
distribution area and how to find them. One file worth checking from time
to time is KER:AAVNEW.HLP, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. The file KER:AANETW.HLP lists in detail the procedures for
obtaining Kermit files via network.
Kermit files, including program source and documentation, are available as
follows:
Internet: anonymous FTP from host CU20B, area KER: or K2:, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
BITnet: from the KERMSRV server at host CUVMA; type SMSG RSCS MSG CUVMA
KERMSRV HELP for further information.
UUCP: from Oklahoma State University (host okstate) in Stillwater, OK.
Mail to uucp-support%okstate@CSNET-RELAY for further information.
Selected sources (usually Unix-related) are posted to net.sources from
time to time.
CCNET: DECnet NFT from host CU20B. Anonymous NFT connections are not
permitted from all hosts, so file transfers must be made by system
managers or programmers who have access to CU20B.
U.S. Mail: send requests for information to:
Kermit Distribution
Columbia University Center for Computing Activities
612 West 115 Street
New York, NY 10025
Info-Kermit mail was direct up until May 23, 1984, when it became a digest.
The pre-digest messages are in KER:MAIL.83A and KER:MAIL.84A. Volume 1 of
the digest is in KER:MAIL.84B. The current, active digest is in
KER:MAIL.TXT. From time to time, active digests will be retired to files
with names like KER:MAIL.85A, KER:MAIL.85B, and so on.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-KERMIT-REQUEST@CU20B. If your host does not
support long names in mail addesses, then just send to KERMIT@CU20B.

an updated statement syntax (generalized LOOP, EXIT, RETURN, no GOTO),
separate compilation with a module (compilation unit) broken into
specification and implementation parts with importing and exporting of
objects, controlled machine level access, and concurrent programming and
coroutines. Modula-2 has most of the power of Ada but is small enough that
excellent full implementations exist for CP/M 80.
Mail archives are stored on SIMTEL20 in file:
<ARCHIVES.MODULA-2>MODULA-2-ARCHIV.TXT
They are available via ANONYMOUS FTP from SIMTEL20 for those with TCP/IP

INFO-PCNET@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU
INFO-PCNET is a general mailing list to keep interested people advised of
major developments.
PCNET is a volunteer effort creating a computer network for personal use.
Although meant to be device independent, the current design is oriented to
use through the telephone system, particularly by computers with automatic
dialing and receipt of calls. PCNET will enable all computer users, whether
part of a formal network organization or individual owners of personal
computers, to communicate with each other effectively. PCNET is defining
communication protocols that assure that transmissions are correct
(retransmitting data that is lost or erroneous), and which allow multiple
logical data streams so that several programs can share a single hardware
communication link. PCNET has defined a worldwide addressing standard that
permits automatic forwarding of messages and files without having to know
the topology of the network.
PCNET is currently finising software on several machines (8080, 6502,
PDP-10) using several languages (Assembly language, LISP, C), and refining
the documentation; volunteer communications programmers are needed to
complete these tasks.
The PCNET files are on SIMTEL20 in directory PD:<PCNET>. SIMTEL20 supports
ANONYMOUS login within FTP them using any non-null password.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-PCNET-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU.

What follows is part 1 (of 2) of the Arpanet List of Lists. This list
is maintained by Rich Zellich and corresponds to the List of Active
Newsgroups which I maintain on the Usenet. Many of the groups listed
herein are gatewayed into Usenet newsgroups.
Note that uucp-only sites are usually not able to receive these lists
except through gatewayed Usenet newsgroups.
Part 2 of the list is in a companion article.

CHANGES SINCE LAST UPDATE-NOTICE (29 Sep 86):
ADVISE-L
New mailing list (User Services discussion).
FSFNET
New mailing list (science fiction/fantasy 'fanzine').
ISODE
Archives location added.
P4200
New mailing list (discussion of Proteon P4200-series gateway products).
PCIP
Archives locations updated.
PSYCHNET (aka EPSYNET)
List description updated.
SUN-SPOTS
Deleted reference to archives.
A. Lee Wade <LEE%TAMKBS.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU> has written a small program
that reads the list-of-lists file (after the two files are concatenated and
any message header info. is removed) and converts it into VMS help format.
This lets a VMS user read about a specific mailing list without have to sort
through all the preceding ones. Anyone interested in this program should
contact Lee directly.
SUMMARY OF MAILING-LISTS IN THIS FILE:
PLEASE NOTE: The general convention is that for administrivia about a list
(like getting added or deleted, asking about archive files, etc.) you write
to list-REQUEST@host (e.g., HEADER-PEOPLE-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU). This
gets you to the moderator, rather than to the membership of the entire
mailing list. Please look carefully at the entry for each list you are
interested in, to see if a -REQUEST address has been provided.

ADVISE-L%CANADA01.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU
Unmoderated mailing list intended for discussion among students who work
part-time at the various university computer centers. It is particularly
intended for people who work as student advisors or consultants, although
others are welcome. Another use of the list is to get help from others on
problems that might be encountered, or to let everyone know about new things
such as new file servers, so that everyone can put the network to the best
possible use.
Alternate paths/addresses: The list is served by three servers (CANADA01,
NCSUVM, AND UGA) which are peer linked so that anything sent to one will be
sent to the other two automatically.
To subscribe to the list:
From a VM site on BITNET do:
TELL LISTSERV at CANADA01 SUBSCRIBE ADVISE-L Your_Full_Name
where Your_Full_Name is your real name (not your userid).
From a VMS BITNET site use the SEND/REMOTE command.
If you are at a site not on bitnet or where you cannot send interactive
messages you can send a message to
LISTSERV%CANADA01.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU where the first non-header line
consists of:
SUBSCRIBE ADVISE-L Your_Full_Name
Please refer any questions to the Coordinator.

FSFNET <CSDAVE%MAINE.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU>
An electronic version of the typical science fiction/fantasy 'fanzine'.
Issues are sent to network users approximately every two to six weeks, and
generally range in size from 500 to 1000 lines. Typical issues primarily
contain amateur fiction by network authors from around the world (the
emphasis of the zine), although there are occasional movie and book reviews,
discussions of featured authors, game reviews, or any one of an infinite
number of fantasy and science fiction related topics. FSFnet tries to deal
with all aspects of science fiction and fantasy fiction fandom, while giving
young authors the opportunity to interact with a real readership and improve
their writing skills.
If you are interested in writing or contributing to FSFnet, feel free to
discuss it with the editor; submissions of all kinds are always welcome.
There is also the organized Dargon Project, where authors write about the
same area, borrowing characters and learning from one another, very similar
to Robert Lynn Asprin's Thieve's World project. This makes for much more
interesting issues as well as improving the style of the writer, exposing
him to the public, and helping him meet other budding authors. The Dargon
Project is an exciting and rewarding project, and has made for some
excellent fantasy fiction. The project is open to all fantasy writers;
users who are interested in writing for the project should contact the
editor.
An index of back issues may be requested from the editor, and the BitNet
servers TCSSERVE@TCSVM and SILMARIL@FINHUTC both maintain complete FSFnet
libraries. BitNet server CSNEWS@MAINE also maintains the most recent issue.
DO NOT refer problems, questions, etc. to these servers.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to the editor. The request should contain your userid
and node name, as well as your real name and, if you are a BitNet user, the
format in which you prefer issues to be sent (either DISK DUMP CLASS N,
PUNCH CLASS M, or SENDFILE/NETDATA).

HUMAN-NETS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Mailing list originally consisting of the combined memberships of
INFO-PCNET, HOME-SAT, and TELETEXT mailing lists. Human-Nets has discussed
many topics, all of them related in some way to the theme of a world-wide
computer and telecommunications network usually called WorldNet. The topics
have ranged very widely, from something like tutorials, to state of the art
discussions, to rampant speculation about technology and its impact. The
list is extremely large, making it necessary to batch messages sent to the
list and distributing them once each day during off peak periods to avoid
overloading the system.
The permanent archives contain all of the material distributed to the list.
Due to size, this archive is broken down into several different files,
stored in reverse temporal order. The files are currently stored on ARPANet
host RU-BLUE in files RHYTHM:<PLEASANT.HUMAN-NETS>HUMNET.* (where "*" is a
wild-card).

INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132,
1185, 1186) and protocols. Their purpose is to stimulate communication and
sharing between computer science research groups that are using or are
interested in these machines.
Info-1100 is the "information channel" where messages such as announcements
of available lispusers packages may be made or for queries such as "Does
anybody know of a PUP file server implementation for the Sinclair ZX-80?".
It is intended to be a low-volume list suitable for the casual reader.
Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where readers can warn others of Interlisp-D
bugs and/or suggest workarounds or solicit help or discussion; it is
expected to have greater volume than Info-1100, being for the hard-core
user. Since hard-core users read both lists, Bug-1100 is a subset of
Info-1100 and there is never a need to send to both lists.
Xerox PARC, SIS, and AIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communication about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc.. Additionally, Info-1100 and Bug-1100 are automatically forwarded to
AISupport.pasa@Xerox, where bugs are noted and acted upon if appropriate.
Xerox AIS employees will not respond in Bug-1100 unless the reply is of

INFO-FUTURES%BU-CS@CSNet-Relay.ARPA
INFO-FUTURES@BU-CS (CSNET)
...harvard!bu-cs!info-futures (UUCP)
Digest to provide a speculative forum for analyzing current and likely
events in technology as they will affect our near future in computing and
related areas. In broad terms, topics of interest include developments in
both computing research and industry which are likely to affect our decision
making, particularly decisions we are probably grappling with right this
minute. Technologies can change so rapidly that simply forecasting for
needs within any organization one or two years in advance can be extremely
difficult, frequently we are forced to provide foundations that effectively
lock us into a technology for longer periods of time. It is hoped the
information this list provides can help both the practitioner and researcher
determine where best to expend resources.

INFO-IBMPC@USC-ISIB
Info-IBMPC is a forum for technical discussion of the IBM Personal Computer
and compatible micro-computers, providing a way for interested members of
the ARPANET community to compare notes, ask questions, and share insights of
a technical nature about these machines. While it is not primarily a
consumer's guide to the IBM PC, the digest may also be useful for that
purpose.
Messages are collected, edited into digests and distributed as the volume of
mail dictates (generally twice a week). All messages of a technical nature
about IBM PCs are welcomed; messages about other topics will not be run. In
addition, two topics are taboo and are routinely edited out: (1) self
promotion of products for sale, and (2) anything about copy protection.
Recent digests are archived on USC-ISIB in <INFO-IBMPC>DIGESTS-85. Older
digests are archived by quarter in the following files:
Q1-DIGESTS-85 ; V4 # 1-40 [too big for mm, use hermes]

Mailnet, BITnet, Usenet, CCnet, and any other network gatewayed to the
Internet.
All the Kermit files are on CU20B in the area "KER:" or "K2:". The file
KER:AAAREAD.ME contains information on what files are in the Kermit
distribution area and how to find them. One file worth checking from time
to time is KER:AAVNEW.HLP, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. The file KER:AANETW.HLP lists in detail the procedures for
obtaining Kermit files via network.
Kermit files, including program source and documentation, are available as
follows:
Internet: anonymous FTP from host CU20B, area KER: or K2:, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
BITnet: from the KERMSRV server at host CUVMA; type SMSG RSCS MSG CUVMA
KERMSRV HELP for further information.
UUCP: from Oklahoma State University (host okstate) in Stillwater, OK.
Mail to uucp-support%okstate@CSNET-RELAY for further information.
Selected sources (usually Unix-related) are posted to net.sources from

separate compilation with a module (compilation unit) broken into
specification and implementation parts with importing and exporting of
objects, controlled machine level access, and concurrent programming and
coroutines. Modula-2 has most of the power of Ada but is small enough that
excellent full implementations exist for CP/M 80.

INFO-PCNET@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU
INFO-PCNET is a general mailing list to keep interested people advised of
major developments.
PCNET is a volunteer effort creating a computer network for personal use.
Although meant to be device independent, the current design is oriented to
use through the telephone system, particularly by computers with automatic
dialing and receipt of calls. PCNET will enable all computer users, whether
part of a formal network organization or individual owners of personal
computers, to communicate with each other effectively. PCNET is defining
communication protocols that assure that transmissions are correct
(retransmitting data that is lost or erroneous), and which allow multiple
logical data streams so that several programs can share a single hardware
communication link. PCNET has defined a worldwide addressing standard that
permits automatic forwarding of messages and files without having to know
the topology of the network.
PCNET is currently finising software on several machines (8080, 6502,
PDP-10) using several languages (Assembly language, LISP, C), and refining
the documentation; volunteer communications programmers are needed to
complete these tasks.
The PCNET files are on SIMTEL20 in directory PD:<PCNET>. SIMTEL20 supports
ANONYMOUS login within FTP them using any non-null password.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

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.

ADVISE-L%CANADA01.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU
Unmoderated mailing list intended for discussion among students who work
part-time at the various university computer centers. It is particularly
intended for people who work as student advisors or consultants, although
others are welcome. Another use of the list is to get help from others on
problems that might be encountered, or to let everyone know about new things
such as new file servers, so that everyone can put the network to the best
possible use.
Alternate paths/addresses: The list is served by 5 servers
(ADVISE-L@UTORONTO, ADVISE-L@CANADA01, ADVISE-L@NCSUVM, ADVISE-L@UGA, and
MD4F@CMUCCVMA) which are peer linked so that anything sent to one will be
sent to the other two automatically. ADVISE-L@NCSUVM is probably the
closest server to the WISCVM ARPANet gateway.
To subscribe to the list:
From a VM site on BITNET do:
TELL LISTSERV at CANADA01 SUBSCRIBE ADVISE-L Your_Full_Name
where Your_Full_Name is your real name (not your userid).
From a VMS BITNET site use the SEND/REMOTE command.
If you are at a site not on bitnet or where you cannot send interactive
messages you can send a message to
LISTSERV%CANADA01.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU where the first non-header line
consists of:
SUBSCRIBE ADVISE-L Your_Full_Name
Please refer any questions to the Coordinator.

A forum for people interested in the neutral international language
Esperanto. Discussions about the language itself, the Esperanto movement,
publications, and news are encouraged. Of course, discussion *in* Esperanto
is especially encouraged, although English translations may be advisable
when the material is of interest to beginners or non-Esperantists.
This list is identical to the USENET mailing list `mail.esperanto'. The
forwarding addresses were installed on LLL-CRG by Andy Beals; ESPERANTO
forwards to the "real" mail.esperanto address trwrb!trwspp!spp2!esperanto

EVOLUTION@KESTREL
This direct-distribution mailing list is organized to discuss consequences
of the theory of evolution, with emphasis on mathematics, on computer
simulations, and on literature. While creationists in this group are
expected to be few in number, and while they may not reasonably expect to be
taken seriously unless they can introduce radically better evidence than
creationists have in the past, we have no agreement to limit discussion of
contraversal topics. The coordinator assumes no responsibility for opinions
expressed in the group or for misuse.
Archives are available only upon request to EVOLUTION-REQUEST@KESTREL.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

FSFNET <CSDAVE%MAINE.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU>
An electronic version of the typical science fiction/fantasy 'fanzine'.
Issues are sent to network users approximately every two to six weeks, and
generally range in size from 500 to 1000 lines. Typical issues primarily
contain amateur fiction by network authors from around the world (the
emphasis of the zine), although there are occasional movie and book reviews,
discussions of featured authors, game reviews, or any one of an infinite
number of fantasy and science fiction related topics. FSFnet tries to deal
with all aspects of science fiction and fantasy fiction fandom, while giving
young authors the opportunity to interact with a real readership and improve
their writing skills.
If you are interested in writing or contributing to FSFnet, feel free to
discuss it with the editor; submissions of all kinds are always welcome.
There is also the organized Dargon Project, where authors write about the
same area, borrowing characters and learning from one another, very similar
to Robert Lynn Asprin's Thieve's World project. This makes for much more
interesting issues as well as improving the style of the writer, exposing
him to the public, and helping him meet other budding authors. The Dargon
Project is an exciting and rewarding project, and has made for some
excellent fantasy fiction. The project is open to all fantasy writers;
users who are interested in writing for the project should contact the
editor.
An index of back issues may be requested from the editor, and the BitNet
servers TCSSERVE@TCSVM and SILMARIL@FINHUTC both maintain complete FSFnet
libraries. BitNet server CSNEWS@MAINE also maintains the most recent issue.
DO NOT refer problems, questions, etc. to these servers.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to the editor. The request should contain your userid
and node name, as well as your real name and, if you are a BitNet user, the
format in which you prefer issues to be sent (either DISK DUMP CLASS N,
PUNCH CLASS M, or SENDFILE/NETDATA).

HUMAN-NETS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Mailing list originally consisting of the combined memberships of
INFO-PCNET, HOME-SAT, and TELETEXT mailing lists. Human-Nets has discussed
many topics, all of them related in some way to the theme of a world-wide
computer and telecommunications network usually called WorldNet. The topics
have ranged very widely, from something like tutorials, to state of the art
discussions, to rampant speculation about technology and its impact. The
list is extremely large, making it necessary to batch messages sent to the
list and distributing them once each day during off peak periods to avoid
overloading the system.
The permanent archives contain all of the material distributed to the list.
Due to size, this archive is broken down into several different files,
stored in reverse temporal order. The files are currently stored on ARPANet
host RU-BLUE in files RHYTHM:<PLEASANT.HUMAN-NETS>HUMNET.* (where "*" is a
wild-card).
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132,
1185, 1186) and protocols. Their purpose is to stimulate communication and
sharing between computer science research groups that are using or are
interested in these machines.
Info-1100 is the "information channel" where messages such as announcements
of available lispusers packages may be made or for queries such as "Does
anybody know of a PUP file server implementation for the Sinclair ZX-80?".
It is intended to be a low-volume list suitable for the casual reader.
Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where readers can warn others of Interlisp-D
bugs and/or suggest workarounds or solicit help or discussion; it is
expected to have greater volume than Info-1100, being for the hard-core
user. Since hard-core users read both lists, Bug-1100 is a subset of
Info-1100 and there is never a need to send to both lists.
Xerox PARC, SIS, and AIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communication about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc.. Additionally, Info-1100 and Bug-1100 are automatically forwarded to
AISupport.pasa@Xerox, where bugs are noted and acted upon if appropriate.
Xerox AIS employees will not respond in Bug-1100 unless the reply is of
general interest or silence would mislead the readership.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT <BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
Some net-contributed lispusers packages, updates, and patches are kept on
SUMEX-AIM in files:
<LISPUSERS.INTERMEZZO> <LISPUSERS.KOTO> etc.
Requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems, questions,
etc. should be sent to Info-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU or

INFO-FUTURES%BU-CS@CSNet-Relay.ARPA
INFO-FUTURES@BU-CS (CSNET)
...harvard!bu-cs!info-futures (UUCP)
Digest to provide a speculative forum for analyzing current and likely
events in technology as they will affect our near future in computing and
related areas. In broad terms, topics of interest include developments in
both computing research and industry which are likely to affect our decision
making, particularly decisions we are probably grappling with right this
minute. Technologies can change so rapidly that simply forecasting for
needs within any organization one or two years in advance can be extremely
difficult, frequently we are forced to provide foundations that effectively
lock us into a technology for longer periods of time. It is hoped the
information this list provides can help both the practitioner and researcher
determine where best to expend resources.

INFO-IBMPC@C.ISI.EDU
Info-IBMPC is a forum for technical discussion of the IBM Personal Computer
and compatible micro-computers, providing a way for interested members of
the ARPANET community to compare notes, ask questions, and share insights of
a technical nature about these machines. While it is not primarily a
consumer's guide to the IBM PC, the digest may also be useful for that
purpose.
Messages are collected, edited into digests and distributed as the volume of
mail dictates (generally twice a week). All messages of a technical nature
about IBM PCs are welcomed; messages about other topics will not be run. In
addition, two topics are taboo and are routinely edited out: (1) self
promotion of products for sale, and (2) anything about copy protection.
Recent digests are archived on USC-ISIC (C.ISI.EDU) in
<INFO-IBMPC>DIGESTS-85. Older digests are archived by quarter in the
following files:
Q1-DIGESTS-85 ; V4 # 1-40 [too big for mm, use hermes]
Q4-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 91-119
Q3-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 70-90
Q2-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 36-69
Q1-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 1-35

Q2-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 20-39
Q1-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 1-19
Q34-DIGESTS-82 ; V1 # 1-34
These files can be read by MM, HERMES, and other TOPS20 mail systems.
KWIC-INDEX.TXT contains a key-word-in-context index to digest articles.
TOC.???85 contains a table of contents for the month ???. These files may
be FTP'ed to any Arpanet/Milnet host from [USC-ISIC]<INFO-IBMPC> by
logging in within FTP using username ANONYMOUS, password GUEST. If
you're not directly on the Arpanet the files can be mailed to you,
although there is a limit to the length of a message.
A library of free software is maintained in [USC-ISIC]<INFO-IBMPC>. The
list of available programs is in <INFO-IBMPC>PROGRAM-LIBRARY.LIST. Donations
of source code are eagerly welcomed (even trivial programs). Donated
programs must be truly free, with no fee or contribution required or
requested. To donate a program to the library, send a description of the
program along with a copy of the source code to INFO-IBMPC-REQUEST.

INFO-KERMIT@CU20B
Kermit is a file transfer protocol for use primarily between micros and
mainframes over TTY lines, and is implemented on a wide variety of both. The
Info-Kermit mailing list is a digest intended for people who maintain or
install Kermit at their sites, or who are (thinking about) working on a new
implementation, or who have bugs and/or fixes to report, or who are
interested in discussing the protocol; it is available on Internet, CSnet,
Mailnet, BITnet, Usenet, CCnet, and any other network gatewayed to the
Internet.
All the Kermit files are on CU20B in the area "KER:" or "K2:". The file
KER:AAAREAD.ME contains information on what files are in the Kermit
distribution area and how to find them. One file worth checking from time
to time is KER:AAVNEW.HLP, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. The file KER:AANETW.HLP lists in detail the procedures for
obtaining Kermit files via network.
Kermit files, including program source and documentation, are available as
follows:
Internet: anonymous FTP from host CU20B, area KER: or K2:, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
BITnet: from the KERMSRV server at host CUVMA; type SMSG RSCS MSG CUVMA
KERMSRV HELP for further information.
UUCP: from Oklahoma State University (host okstate) in Stillwater, OK.
Mail to uucp-support%okstate@CSNET-RELAY for further information.
Selected sources (usually Unix-related) are posted to net.sources from
time to time.
CCNET: DECnet NFT from host CU20B. Anonymous NFT connections are not
permitted from all hosts, so file transfers must be made by system
managers or programmers who have access to CU20B.
U.S. Mail: send requests for information to:
Kermit Distribution
Columbia University Center for Computing Activities
612 West 115 Street
New York, NY 10025
Info-Kermit mail was direct up until May 23, 1984, when it became a digest.
The pre-digest messages are in KER:MAIL.83A and KER:MAIL.84A. Volume 1 of
the digest is in KER:MAIL.84B. The current, active digest is in
KER:MAIL.TXT. From time to time, active digests will be retired to files
with names like KER:MAIL.85A, KER:MAIL.85B, and so on.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-KERMIT-REQUEST@CU20B. If your host does not
support long names in mail addesses, then just send to KERMIT@CU20B.

Archives of recent correspondence are kept on SIMTEL20 in several files:
"PS:<ARCHIVES.MICRO>MICRO.ARCHIV.ymmdd" is a group of files containing
correspondence going back several years. The characters "ymmdd" in the
file names are actually digits giving the year, month and day of the last
message in each particular file. "PS:<ARCHIVES.MICRO>MICRO-ARCHIV.TXT"
contains a growing archive of current correspondence.
Over 80 megabytes of public domain software (most of it CP/M) are kept in
five program archives on SIMTEL20. For a description of these archives,
request a copy of the "archive blurb" from INFO-CPM-REQUEST@AMSAA. All
correspondence and program archives described here are available to

INFO-MODULA-2@ROCHESTER.ARPA
A discussion list for the Modula-2 programming language. Modula-2 is a
language by Niklaus Wirth which extends the Pascal foundation by providing
an updated statement syntax (generalized LOOP, EXIT, RETURN, no GOTO),
separate compilation with a module (compilation unit) broken into
specification and implementation parts with importing and exporting of
objects, controlled machine level access, and concurrent programming and
coroutines. Modula-2 has most of the power of Ada but is small enough that
excellent full implementations exist for CP/M 80.
Mail archives are stored on SIMTEL20 in file:
<ARCHIVES.MODULA-2>MODULA-2-ARCHIV.TXT
They are available via ANONYMOUS FTP from SIMTEL20 for those with TCP/IP
access to the Internet.

INFO-PCNET@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU
INFO-PCNET is a general mailing list to keep interested people advised of
major developments.
PCNET is a volunteer effort creating a computer network for personal use.
Although meant to be device independent, the current design is oriented to
use through the telephone system, particularly by computers with automatic
dialing and receipt of calls. PCNET will enable all computer users, whether
part of a formal network organization or individual owners of personal
computers, to communicate with each other effectively. PCNET is defining
communication protocols that assure that transmissions are correct
(retransmitting data that is lost or erroneous), and which allow multiple
logical data streams so that several programs can share a single hardware
communication link. PCNET has defined a worldwide addressing standard that
permits automatic forwarding of messages and files without having to know
the topology of the network.
PCNET is currently finising software on several machines (8080, 6502,
PDP-10) using several languages (Assembly language, LISP, C), and refining
the documentation; volunteer communications programmers are needed to
complete these tasks.
The PCNET files are on SIMTEL20 in directory PD:<PCNET>. SIMTEL20 supports
ANONYMOUS login within FTP them using any non-null password.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-PCNET-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU.
