What follows is 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; a list of such groups will be regularly posted
starting in mid-December.
Note that uucp-only sites are not able to receive these lists except
through gatewayed Usenet newsgroups.

1100USERS@SUMEX-AIM
[formerly Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM]
Network user group for Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132). Its
purpose is to stimulate communication and sharing between computer science
research groups that are using or are interested in these machines. It
differs from the WORKS group in that it will focus on issues particular to
lisp machines rather than on workstations in general.
Messages will be sent to the list as submitted. Depending on the volume of
mail, content, etc., messages may be collected and digested in the future.
Xeros PARC and SIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communications about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc. As with all network interest groups, however, this is \not/ to be used
as a vendor advertising vehicle.
Archive of messages is kept on SUMEX-AIM in
<BBOARD>1100USERS.TXT
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to 1100users-Request@SUMEX-AIM.

will review submitted bug reports and assure that the reports describe a
behavior of the compiler that can be duplicated with his software and don't
represent a bug that is already known. One subscription only per interested
site is strongly encouraged.

Coordinator: Michael A. Patton <MAP@MIT-MC>
HUMAN-NETS@RUTGERS
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 a
non-ARPANET host at Rutgers, and must be requested from
HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
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@RUTGERS>
Icon-Group.Arizona@Rand-Relay
Discussion of topics related to the Icon programming language (a high-level,
general-purpose programming language that emphasizes string and structure
processing). Such topics include: Programming Techniques, Theoretical
Aspects, Icon in relation to other languages, Applications of Icon,
Implementation Issues, Porting Icon, Bugs. Items sent to the list are
immediately redistributed to all persons on the list.
The list will be distributed via CSNET and as such will only be available to
persons on ARPANET and CSNET; a Usenet gateway may be considered at some
point in the future. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list,
problems, questions, etc., should be sent to
Icon-Group-Request.Arizona@Rand-Relay. Questions about obtaining Icon
should be sent to Icon-Project.Arizona@Rand-Relay.
Coordinator: Bill Mitchell <whm.Arizona@Rand-Relay>
INFO-ADA@USC-ECLB
DoD faces many of the same sorts of problems in their command and control
systems as those being discussed in Human-Nets. One part of DoD's attempt
to deal with these problems was to have a new programming language designed,
Ada. Because it is a narrower topic than Human-Nets, this list has been set
up to facilitate discussions of Ada. Anything dealing with Ada is fair game
for discussion.
Archives of messages can be found in the files <INFO-ADA>ARCHIVES.* on
USC-ECLB.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-ADA-REQUEST@USC-ECLB.

INFO-MODEM7@SIMTEL20
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:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>MODEM7-ARCHIV.TXT. If and when the older
archives are located, that file will be placed in
PS:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>INFO-MODEM7.ARCHIV.ymmdd.

INFO-PCNET@MIT-MC
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.
Documentation is available on MIT-MC in the file:
PCNET;INTRO >
and also some info in:
PCNET;VOLUN MSG
[the file sent out to new members of the mailing list]
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

INFO-UNIX@BRL
or @BRL-VGR
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.

LIST-OF-LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~1500 lines or ~60,000 characters) on SRI-NIC in file:
<NETINFO>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET FTP, the
complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not normally
be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to:

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly after
the November 1980 election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact that
electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion
continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began
to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the
nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their
spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list
was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to
consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon
presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity,
the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull
session).
Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in:

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

SF-CONS-LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging ~1000 lines or ~55,000 characters,
including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, etc.), the
complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies will \not/ be
sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG,
occasional flyers picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the
list maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send requests

SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of STAR WARS and HEAVY METAL. The range of topics is
quite wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics
of interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

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

!menlo70!hao!brl-bmd!tcp-ip (UUCP/USENET)
A digest which discusses TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and IP
(Internet Protocol), the "DoD Standard Networking Protocols for the
Eighties". Submissions generally center around UNIX implementations, but
ANY networking protocol or implementation discussions too specific for
HUMAN-NETS is fair game here; the digest includes discussions of mail
protocols and addressing in the InterNet environment, and a little about
non-TCP/IP based networking.
Archives are kept at the Rutgers host in:

TCP-IP@SRI-NIC
The NIC has taken over the responsibility for the periodic update of the
TCP-IP implementations (the latest update can be obtained via FTP by
ANONYMOUS login from SRI-NIC file <NETINFO>TCP-IP-IMPLEMENTATIONS.TXT). We
are particularly interested in the addition and expansion of TCP services.
In addition to this function, it is hoped that this distribution list can
aid in the following areas:
To act as an on-line exchange among TCP developers and maintainers.
To announce new and expanded services in a timely manner.
It is hoped that this forum will help the network reach transition by the
required date. Should you have any questions, please send electronic mail
to the Coordinator, or call (415) 859-5303.

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@MIT-MC). 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.

Coordinator: Michael A. Patton <MAP@MIT-MC>
HUMAN-NETS@RUTGERS
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 a
non-ARPANET host at Rutgers, and must be requested from
HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
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@RUTGERS>
Icon-Group.Arizona@Rand-Relay
Discussion of topics related to the Icon programming language (a high-level,
general-purpose programming language that emphasizes string and structure
processing). Such topics include: Programming Techniques, Theoretical
Aspects, Icon in relation to other languages, Applications of Icon,
Implementation Issues, Porting Icon, Bugs. Items sent to the list are
immediately redistributed to all persons on the list.
The list will be distributed via CSNET and as such will only be available to
persons on ARPANET and CSNET; a Usenet gateway may be considered at some
point in the future. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list,
problems, questions, etc., should be sent to
Icon-Group-Request.Arizona@Rand-Relay. Questions about obtaining Icon
should be sent to Icon-Project.Arizona@Rand-Relay.
Coordinator: Bill Mitchell <whm.Arizona@Rand-Relay>
INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM
[formerly Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM]
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132)
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?" Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where users can warn other
of Interlisp-D bugs or solicit help. Solutions to problems of general
interest are, of course, welcome in Info-1100.
It is expected that Info-1100 will be a low volume mailing list compared to
Bug-1100; analagous to most INFO/BUG mailing list pairs. Messages will be
sent to the lists as submitted. Depending on the volume of mail, content,
etc., messages may be collected and digested in the future.
Xeros PARC and SIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communications about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc. As with all network interest groups, however, this is NOT to be used
as a vendor advertising vehicle.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT
<BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
All 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>
INFO-ADA@USC-ECLB
DoD faces many of the same sorts of problems in their command and control
systems as those being discussed in Human-Nets. One part of DoD's attempt
to deal with these problems was to have a new programming language designed,
Ada. Because it is a narrower topic than Human-Nets, this list has been set
up to facilitate discussions of Ada. Anything dealing with Ada is fair game
for discussion.
Archives of messages can be found in the files <INFO-ADA>ARCHIVES.* on
USC-ECLB.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-ADA-REQUEST@USC-ECLB.
Coordinator: Mark S. Sherman <mss%dartmouth.csnet@CSNET-RELAY.ARPA>
INFO-AOS@SU-SIERRA
Information/interest group for users of Data General AOS/VS. The
Coordinator's personal interests are focused upon networking software, the
Ada environment, typesetting and improved utilities for AOS/VS but every
topic of general interest is welcome.
All requests to be added/deleted from this list, problems etc. should be
sent to INFO-AOS-REQUEST@SU-SIERRA.
Coordinator: Michael Haberler <HABERLER@SU-SIERRA>

Coordinator: David C. Plummer <DCP@MIT-MC>
INFO-C@BRL
INFO-C is gatewayed with the net.lang.c newsgroup on USENET. net.lang.c's
purpose is to carry on discussion of C programming and the C programming
language. Appropriate topics are:
Queries on how to write something in C
Queries about why some C code behaves the way it does
Suggestions for C modifications or extensions
C coding "tricks"
Compiler bugs
Availability of compilers
etc.
Recently-discussed topics include object-oriented extensions to C,
availability of a public-domain cpp for beta testing, the EQUEL
preprocessor, C compilers for the pdp11 (under RSX), IBM370 and PC, vagaries
of typedef and sizeof, and some new changes to standard C (C++ from a
researcher at Bell Labs, and ANSI committee X3J11). Plus the usual
discussions about C programming style.

microcomputer operating system.
Archives of recent correspondence are kept on SIMTEL20 in several files:
"PS:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>CPM.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:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>CPM-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.

questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-HAMS-REQUEST@SIMTEL20.
Coordinator: Keith Petersen <KPETERSEN@SIMTEL20>
INFO-HZ100@RADC-TOPS20
INFO-HZ100 is a forum for discussion concerning topics related to the Zenith
Z-100 (Heath H-100) family of professional desktop computers. Messages are
collected into digests and distributed as the volume of mail dictates.
Future plans are to have a library of Z-100 software, and digest &
newsletter archives.
Periodically, useful knowledge and items generated from the digests and

INFO-KERMIT@COLUMBIA-20
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
software package is available on the ARPAnet at COLUMBIA-20. The list is
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 are interested in discussing the protocol.
All the KERMIT files are in PS:<KERMIT>; the file PS:<KERMIT>00README.TXT
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
PS:<KERMIT>CURRENT.DOC, a brief tabular listing of each existing version of
KERMIT, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version.
An archive of all the messages are available via anonymous FTP from
COLUMBIA-20 (ARPANET) or anonymous NFT from CU20B (CCNET). The messages up
to March 8, 1984 are in PS:<KERMIT>MAIL.83A. Those from March 8 to May 18
(the last "direct mail" activity) are in PS:<KERMIT>MAIL.83B. The current
mail (starting with the first issue of the digest) are in
PS:<KERMIT>MAIL.TXT.

INFO-MICRO@BRL-VGR
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@MIT-MC (or @BRL) for this example).
Archives of recent correspondence are kept on SIMTEL20 in several files:
"PS:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>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:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>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.

INFO-PCNET@MIT-MC
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.
Documentation is available on MIT-MC in the file:
PCNET;INTRO >
and also some info in:
PCNET;VOLUN MSG
[the file sent out to new members of the mailing list]
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

INFO-UNIX@BRL
or @BRL-VGR
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 (or@BRL-VGR).
Moderator: Mike Muuss <mike@BRL-VGR>

LIST-OF-LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~1500 lines or ~60,000 characters) on SRI-NIC in file:
<NETINFO>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET FTP, the
complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not normally
be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to:

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly after
the November 1980 election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact that
electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion
continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began
to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the
nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their
spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list
was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to
consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon
presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity,
the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull
session).
Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in:

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

SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of STAR WARS and HEAVY METAL. The range of topics is
quite wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics
of interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

For those unfamiliar with Tenex/Tops-20, the first number is the number
of Tenex disk pages, the second is the number of characters in the file,
for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 9 is the current
volume (A/O Jun 84). Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in
the files SF-LOVERS.xxx-84 where xxx is the month of publication. The
current month's messages may be found in PS:<SF-LOVERS>MAIL.TXT.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to SF-LOVERS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.

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

HUMAN-NETS@RUTGERS
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 a
non-ARPANET host at Rutgers, and must be requested from
HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
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)
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?" Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where users can warn other
of Interlisp-D bugs or solicit help. Solutions to problems of general
interest are, of course, welcome in Info-1100.
It is expected that Info-1100 will be a low volume mailing list compared to
Bug-1100; analagous to most INFO/BUG mailing list pairs. Messages will be
sent to the lists as submitted. Depending on the volume of mail, content,
etc., messages may be collected and digested in the future.
Xeros PARC and SIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communications about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc. As with all network interest groups, however, this is NOT to be used
as a vendor advertising vehicle.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT
<BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
All 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-ADA@USC-ECLB
DoD faces many of the same sorts of problems in their command and control
systems as those being discussed in Human-Nets. One part of DoD's attempt
to deal with these problems was to have a new programming language designed,
Ada. Because it is a narrower topic than Human-Nets, this list has been set
up to facilitate discussions of Ada. Anything dealing with Ada is fair game
for discussion.
Archives of messages can be found in the files <INFO-ADA>ARCHIVES.* on
USC-ECLB.

INFO-PCNET@MIT-MC
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.
Documentation is available on MIT-MC in the file:
PCNET;INTRO >
and also some info in:
PCNET;VOLUN MSG
[the file sent out to new members of the mailing list]
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

LIST-OF-LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~1500 lines or ~60,000 characters) on SRI-NIC in file:
<NETINFO>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET FTP, the
complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not normally
be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to:

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

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly after
the November 1980 election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact that
electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion
continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began
to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the
nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their
spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list
was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to
consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon
presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity,
the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull
session).
Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in:
<poli-sci>mail.txt
and other files in the <poli-sci> directory
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to POLI-SCI-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
Moderator: JoSH Hall <JoSH@RUTGERS>
PROLOG[-HACKERS]@SU-SCORE
Prolog and logic programming mailing lists.
Some of the people answering the initial BBoard message stated that they
would be interested in general Prolog and logic programming information, but
not in the nitty-gritty details of Prolog systems and their bugs. Therefore,
two mailing lists have been set up, PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS: PROLOG will
provide a digest of articles of general interest; PROLOG-HACKERS will
provide a direct mailing for the nasty stuff. Finally, PROLOG-REQUEST
should be used for distribution requests. In a nutshell:
Mail to for
------- ---
PROLOG@SCORE sending articles of general interest
PROLOG-HACKERS@SCORE sending articles of limited interest
PROLOG-REQUEST@SCORE getting in and out of the mailing lists
and other bureaucracy
Please do not send the same message to PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS. Messages
will be moved between lists if appropriate.
An archive of the USEnet prolog interest group interchange can be FTP'd from
host SU-SCORE using standard anonymous login convention. The pathname is:
PS:<PROLOG>UPIG.ARCHIVE
Moderator: Chuck Restivo <RESTIVO@SU-SCORE.ARPA>

SF-CONS-LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging ~1000 lines or ~55,000 characters,
including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, etc.), the
complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies will \not/ be
sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG,
occasional flyers picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the
list maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send requests
to:
Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC>
SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of STAR WARS and HEAVY METAL. The range of topics is
quite wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics
of interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.
T:<SFL>ARCHIVE.V1 860 2200759
.V2 771 1972324
.V3 741 1895294

.V6 705 1804515
.V7 232 591802
.V8 670 1713235
For those unfamiliar with Tenex/Tops-20, the first number is the number
of Tenex disk pages, the second is the number of characters in the file,
for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 9 is the current
volume (A/O Jun 84). Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in
the files SF-LOVERS.xxx-84 where xxx is the month of publication. The
current month's messages may be found in PS:<SF-LOVERS>MAIL.TXT.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to SF-LOVERS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.

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

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@MIT-MC). 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@RUTGERS
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 a
non-ARPANET host at Rutgers, and must be requested from
HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
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@RUTGERS>

processing). Such topics include: Programming Techniques, Theoretical
Aspects, Icon in relation to other languages, Applications of Icon,
Implementation Issues, Porting Icon, Bugs. Items sent to the list are
immediately redistributed to all persons on the list.
The list will be distributed via CSNET and as such will only be available to
persons on ARPANET and CSNET; a Usenet gateway may be considered at some
point in the future. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list,
problems, questions, etc., should be sent to
Icon-Group-Request.Arizona@Rand-Relay. Questions about obtaining Icon
should be sent to Icon-Project.Arizona@Rand-Relay.
Coordinator: Bill Mitchell <whm.Arizona@Rand-Relay>
INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM
[formerly Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM]
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132)
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?" Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where users can warn other
of Interlisp-D bugs or solicit help. Solutions to problems of general
interest are, of course, welcome in Info-1100.
It is expected that Info-1100 will be a low volume mailing list compared to
Bug-1100; analagous to most INFO/BUG mailing list pairs. Messages will be
sent to the lists as submitted. Depending on the volume of mail, content,
etc., messages may be collected and digested in the future.
Xeros PARC and SIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communications about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc. As with all network interest groups, however, this is NOT to be used
as a vendor advertising vehicle.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT
<BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
All requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems,
questions, etc., should be sent to Info-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM or

INFO-ADA@USC-ECLB
DoD faces many of the same sorts of problems in their command and control
systems as those being discussed in Human-Nets. One part of DoD's attempt
to deal with these problems was to have a new programming language designed,
Ada. Because it is a narrower topic than Human-Nets, this list has been set
up to facilitate discussions of Ada. Anything dealing with Ada is fair game
for discussion.
Archives of messages can be found in the files <INFO-ADA>ARCHIVES.* on
USC-ECLB.

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:". The file
KER:00README.TXT 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:CURRENT.DOC, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. Another is KER:VERSIONS.DOC, which lists all known versions, both
available and in preparation.
Kermit files, including program source and documentation, are available as
follows:
Internet: anonymous FTP from host CU20B, area KER:, 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

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.
Documentation is available on MIT-MC in the file:
PCNET;INTRO >
and also some info in:
PCNET;VOLUN MSG
[the file sent out to new members of the mailing list]
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-PCNET-REQUEST@MIT-MC.

INFO-UNIX@BRL
or @BRL-VGR
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 (or@BRL-VGR).

LIST-OF-LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~1500 lines or ~60,000 characters) on SRI-NIC in file:
<NETINFO>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET FTP, the
complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not normally
be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to:

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly after
the November 1980 election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact that
electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion
continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began
to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the
nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their
spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list
was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to
consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon
presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity,
the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull
session).
Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in:

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

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

For those unfamiliar with Tenex/Tops-20, the first number is the number
of Tenex disk pages, the second is the number of characters in the file,
for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 9 is the current
volume (A/O Jun 84). Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in

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

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@MIT-MC). 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.

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.

CRD;H19 MAIL2
etc.
The mailing-list name was changed from H19-People, but the old address (and
-Request address) will continue to work for the foreseeable future, as well
as substituting any of: H88, H89, H100, Z19, Z100.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to HEATH-PEOPLE-REQUEST@MIT-MC.
Coordinator: Michael A. Patton <MAP@MIT-MC>
HUMAN-NETS@RUTGERS
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 a
non-ARPANET host at Rutgers, and must be requested from
HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
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@RUTGERS>
Icon-Group.Arizona@Rand-Relay
Discussion of topics related to the Icon programming language (a high-level,
general-purpose programming language that emphasizes string and structure
processing). Such topics include: Programming Techniques, Theoretical
Aspects, Icon in relation to other languages, Applications of Icon,
Implementation Issues, Porting Icon, Bugs. Items sent to the list are
immediately redistributed to all persons on the list.
The list will be distributed via CSNET and as such will only be available to
persons on ARPANET and CSNET; a Usenet gateway may be considered at some
point in the future. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list,
problems, questions, etc., should be sent to
Icon-Group-Request.Arizona@Rand-Relay. Questions about obtaining Icon
should be sent to Icon-Project.Arizona@Rand-Relay.
Coordinator: Bill Mitchell <whm.Arizona@Rand-Relay>
INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM
[formerly Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM]
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132)
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?" Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where users can warn other
of Interlisp-D bugs or solicit help. Solutions to problems of general
interest are, of course, welcome in Info-1100.
It is expected that Info-1100 will be a low volume mailing list compared to
Bug-1100; analagous to most INFO/BUG mailing list pairs. Messages will be
sent to the lists as submitted. Depending on the volume of mail, content,
etc., messages may be collected and digested in the future.
Xeros PARC and SIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communications about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc. As with all network interest groups, however, this is NOT to be used
as a vendor advertising vehicle.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT
<BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
All requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems,
questions, etc., should be sent to Info-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM or

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-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:". The file
KER:00README.TXT 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:CURRENT.DOC, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. Another is KER:VERSIONS.DOC, which lists all known versions, both
available and in preparation.
Kermit files, including program source and documentation, are available as
follows:
Internet: anonymous FTP from host CU20B, area KER:, 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.

Archives of recent correspondence are kept on SIMTEL20 in several files:
"PS:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>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:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>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-PCNET@MIT-MC
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.
Documentation is available on MIT-MC in the file:
PCNET;INTRO >
and also some info in:
PCNET;VOLUN MSG
[the file sent out to new members of the mailing list]
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

LIST-OF-LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~1500 lines or ~60,000 characters) on SRI-NIC in file:
<NETINFO>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET FTP, the
complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not normally
be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to:

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly after
the November 1980 election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact that
electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion
continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began
to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the
nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their
spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list
was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to
consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon
presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity,
the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull
session).
Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in:
<poli-sci>mail.txt
and other files in the <poli-sci> directory
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to POLI-SCI-REQUEST@RUTGERS.

PROLOG[-HACKERS]@SU-SCORE
Prolog and logic programming mailing lists.
Some of the people answering the initial BBoard message stated that they
would be interested in general Prolog and logic programming information, but
not in the nitty-gritty details of Prolog systems and their bugs. Therefore,
two mailing lists have been set up, PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS: PROLOG will
provide a digest of articles of general interest; PROLOG-HACKERS will
provide a direct mailing for the nasty stuff. Finally, PROLOG-REQUEST
should be used for distribution requests. In a nutshell:
Mail to for
------- ---
PROLOG@SCORE sending articles of general interest
PROLOG-HACKERS@SCORE sending articles of limited interest
PROLOG-REQUEST@SCORE getting in and out of the mailing lists
and other bureaucracy
Please do not send the same message to PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS. Messages
will be moved between lists if appropriate.
An archive of the USEnet prolog interest group interchange can be FTP'd from
host SU-SCORE using standard anonymous login convention. The pathname is:
PS:<PROLOG>UPIG.ARCHIVE
Moderator: Chuck Restivo <RESTIVO@SU-SCORE.ARPA>
ProtocolS@RUTGERS
This list is designed to promote discussion of the various existing FTP
protocols for async-ascii-serial-lines and any kind of computer/OS. The
eventual goal is to devise (and implement) an all-purpose standard protocol
for FTP.
Message log/archives are kept at RUTGERS in files:
PS:<PLEASANT.PROTOCOL>PROTOCOLS.OLD Pre-digest to 30 Mar 82
PS:<PLEASANT.PROTOCOL>PROTOCOLS.RECENT Digest 30 Mar 82 to present

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

For those unfamiliar with Tenex/Tops-20, the first number is the number
of Tenex disk pages, the second is the number of characters in the file,
for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 10 is the current
volume (A/O Jan 85). Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in
the files SF-LOVERS.xxx-yy where xxx is the month of publication and yy
is the current year. The current month's messages may be found in
PS:<BBOARD>SF-LOVERS.TXT.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to SF-LOVERS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.

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

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@MIT-MC). 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.

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.

Coordinator: Michael A. Patton <MAP@MIT-MC>
HUMAN-NETS@RUTGERS
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 a
non-ARPANET host at Rutgers, and must be requested from
HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
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@RUTGERS>
Icon-Group.Arizona@Rand-Relay
Discussion of topics related to the Icon programming language (a high-level,
general-purpose programming language that emphasizes string and structure
processing). Such topics include: Programming Techniques, Theoretical
Aspects, Icon in relation to other languages, Applications of Icon,
Implementation Issues, Porting Icon, Bugs. Items sent to the list are
immediately redistributed to all persons on the list.
The list will be distributed via CSNET and as such will only be available to
persons on ARPANET and CSNET; a Usenet gateway may be considered at some
point in the future. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list,
problems, questions, etc., should be sent to
Icon-Group-Request.Arizona@Rand-Relay. Questions about obtaining Icon
should be sent to Icon-Project.Arizona@Rand-Relay.
Coordinator: Bill Mitchell <whm.Arizona@Rand-Relay>
INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM
[formerly Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM]
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132)
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?" Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where users can warn other
of Interlisp-D bugs or solicit help. Solutions to problems of general
interest are, of course, welcome in Info-1100.
It is expected that Info-1100 will be a low volume mailing list compared to
Bug-1100; analagous to most INFO/BUG mailing list pairs. Messages will be
sent to the lists as submitted. Depending on the volume of mail, content,
etc., messages may be collected and digested in the future.
Xeros PARC and SIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communications about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc. As with all network interest groups, however, this is NOT to be used
as a vendor advertising vehicle.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT
<BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
All requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems,
questions, etc., should be sent to Info-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM or

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-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,
etc., should be sent to INFO-IBMPC-REQUEST@USC-ISIB.

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:". The file
KER:00README.TXT 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:CURRENT.DOC, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. Another is KER:VERSIONS.DOC, which lists all known versions, both
available and in preparation.
Kermit files, including program source and documentation, are available as
follows:
Internet: anonymous FTP from host CU20B, area KER:, 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.

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@MIT-MC (or @BRL) for this example).
Archives of recent correspondence are kept on SIMTEL20 in several files:
"PS:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>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:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>MICRO-ARCHIV.TXT"
contains a growing archive of current correspondence.

INFO-MODEM7@SIMTEL20
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:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>MODEM7-ARCHIV.TXT. If and when the older
archives are located, that file will be placed in
PS:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>INFO-MODEM7.ARCHIV.ymmdd.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

INFO-PCNET@MIT-MC
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.
Documentation is available on MIT-MC in the file:
PCNET;INTRO >
and also some info in:
PCNET;VOLUN MSG
[the file sent out to new members of the mailing list]
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

LIST-OF-LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~1500 lines or ~60,000 characters) on SRI-NIC in file:
<NETINFO>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET FTP, the
complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not normally
be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to:

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly after
the November 1980 election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact that
electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion
continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began
to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the
nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their
spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list
was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to
consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon
presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity,
the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull
session).
Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in:

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

SF-CONS-LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging ~1000 lines or ~55,000 characters,
including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, etc.), the
complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies will \not/ be
sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG,
occasional flyers picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the
list maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send requests

SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of books and films. The range of topics is quite
wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics of
interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 10 is the current
volume (A/O Jan 85). Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in

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

In addition to this function, it is hoped that this distribution list can
aid in the following areas:
To act as an on-line exchange among TCP developers and maintainers.
To announce new and expanded services in a timely manner.
It is hoped that this forum will help the network reach transition by the
required date. Should you have any questions, please send electronic mail
to the Coordinator, or call (415) 859-4781.

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@MIT-MC). 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.

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.

HUMAN-NETS@RUTGERS
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 a
non-ARPANET host at Rutgers, and must be requested from
HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
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@RUTGERS>

general-purpose programming language that emphasizes string and structure
processing). Such topics include: Programming Techniques, Theoretical
Aspects, Icon in relation to other languages, Applications of Icon,
Implementation Issues, Porting Icon, Bugs. Items sent to the list are
immediately redistributed to all persons on the list.
The list will be distributed via CSNET and as such will only be available to
persons on ARPANET and CSNET; a Usenet gateway may be considered at some
point in the future. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list,
problems, questions, etc., should be sent to
Icon-Group-Request.Arizona@Rand-Relay. Questions about obtaining Icon
should be sent to Icon-Project.Arizona@Rand-Relay.
Coordinator: Bill Mitchell <whm.Arizona@Rand-Relay>
INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM
[formerly Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM]
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132)
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?" Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where users can warn other
of Interlisp-D bugs or solicit help. Solutions to problems of general
interest are, of course, welcome in Info-1100.
It is expected that Info-1100 will be a low volume mailing list compared to
Bug-1100; analagous to most INFO/BUG mailing list pairs. Messages will be
sent to the lists as submitted. Depending on the volume of mail, content,
etc., messages may be collected and digested in the future.
Xeros PARC and SIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communications about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc. As with all network interest groups, however, this is NOT to be used
as a vendor advertising vehicle.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT
<BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
All requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems,
questions, etc., should be sent to Info-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM or

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-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:". The file
KER:00README.TXT 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:CURRENT.DOC, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. Another is KER:VERSIONS.DOC, which lists all known versions, both
available and in preparation.
Kermit files, including program source and documentation, are available as
follows:
Internet: anonymous FTP from host CU20B, area KER:, 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.

INFO-PCNET@MIT-MC
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.
Documentation is available on MIT-MC in the file:
PCNET;INTRO >
and also some info in:
PCNET;VOLUN MSG
[the file sent out to new members of the mailing list]
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

LIST-OF-LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~1500 lines or ~60,000 characters) on SRI-NIC in file:
<NETINFO>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET FTP, the
complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not normally
be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to:

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly after
the November 1980 election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact that
electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion
continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began
to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the
nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their
spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list
was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to
consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon
presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity,
the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull
session).
Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in:

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

protocols for async-ascii-serial-lines and any kind of computer/OS. The
eventual goal is to devise (and implement) an all-purpose standard protocol
for FTP.
Message log/archives are kept at RUTGERS in files:

RISKS@SRI-CSL
"RISKS" is a distribution list for discussion of issues related to risks to
the public in the use of computer systems. It has sponsorship of the ACM
Committee on Computers and Public Policy (Chaired by Peter G. Neumann), but
is open to everyone.
Contributions are welcome on a wide range of relevant topics bearing on the
stated subject. Selected information items that appear in RISKS may
subsequently appear in the ACM Software Engineering Notes. Contributors are
requested to avoid overt political statements and personal attacks.
Back issues may eventually be FTPed from SRI-CSLA files
<RISKS>RISKS-"vol"."no"
where "vol" and "no" are volume and number, although there is a temporary
impediment in accessing SRI-CSLA [128.18.0.254].

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

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

For those unfamiliar with Tenex/Tops-20, the first number is the number
of Tenex disk pages, the second is the number of characters in the file,
for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 10 is the current
volume (A/O Jan 85). Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in
the files SF-LOVERS.xxx-yy where xxx is the month of publication and yy
is the current year. The current month's messages may be found in

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

addresses with MHS X.400 addresses; it is quite diversified, with several
representatives from BITNET, Mailnet, UUCP, ARPANET, and EAN.
This list may be moved to an ARPANET machine but, lacking the proper access,
for now the list is on cbosgd, which is on UUCP. It should be addresssable
as any one of the following: cbosgd!arpa-mhs@Berkeley.ARPA
cbosgd!arpa-mhs@seismo.ARPA
arpa-mhs@cbosgd.ATT.UUCP
arpa-mhs@cbosgd.UUCP

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

HUMAN-NETS@RUTGERS
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 a
non-ARPANET host at Rutgers, and must be requested from
HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
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@RUTGERS>

general-purpose programming language that emphasizes string and structure
processing). Such topics include: Programming Techniques, Theoretical
Aspects, Icon in relation to other languages, Applications of Icon,
Implementation Issues, Porting Icon, Bugs. Items sent to the list are
immediately redistributed to all persons on the list.
The list will be distributed via CSNET and as such will only be available to
persons on ARPANET and CSNET; a Usenet gateway may be considered at some
point in the future. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list,
problems, questions, etc., should be sent to
Icon-Group-Request.Arizona@Rand-Relay. Questions about obtaining Icon
should be sent to Icon-Project.Arizona@Rand-Relay.
Coordinator: Bill Mitchell <whm.Arizona@Rand-Relay>
INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM
[formerly Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM]
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132)
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?" Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where users can warn other
of Interlisp-D bugs or solicit help. Solutions to problems of general
interest are, of course, welcome in Info-1100.
It is expected that Info-1100 will be a low volume mailing list compared to
Bug-1100; analagous to most INFO/BUG mailing list pairs. Messages will be
sent to the lists as submitted. Depending on the volume of mail, content,
etc., messages may be collected and digested in the future.
Xeros PARC and SIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communications about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc. As with all network interest groups, however, this is NOT to be used
as a vendor advertising vehicle.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT
<BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
All requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems,
questions, etc., should be sent to Info-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM or

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-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,
etc., should be sent to INFO-IBMPC-REQUEST@USC-ISIB.

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:". The file
KER:00README.TXT 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:CURRENT.DOC, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. Another is KER:VERSIONS.DOC, which lists all known versions, both
available and in preparation.
Kermit files, including program source and documentation, are available as
follows:
Internet: anonymous FTP from host CU20B, area KER:, 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.

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.

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@MIT-MC (or @BRL) for this example).
Archives of recent correspondence are kept on SIMTEL20 in several files:
"PS:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>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:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>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,

INFO-MODEM7@SIMTEL20
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:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>MODEM7-ARCHIV.TXT. If and when the older
archives are located, that file will be placed in

INFO-PCNET@MIT-MC
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.
Documentation is available on MIT-MC in the file:
PCNET;INTRO >
and also some info in:
PCNET;VOLUN MSG
[the file sent out to new members of the mailing list]
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

LIST-OF-LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~1900 lines or ~82,000 characters) on SRI-NIC in file:
<NETINFO>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET FTP, the
complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not normally
be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly after
the November 1980 election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact that
electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion
continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began
to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the
nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their
spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list
was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to
consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon
presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity,
the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull
session).
Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in:

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

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

SF-CONS-LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging 1000-1500 lines or 55,000-75,000
characters, including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, etc.), the
complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies will \not/ be
sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG, flyers

SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of books and films. The range of topics is quite
wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics of
interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

For those unfamiliar with Tenex/Tops-20, the first number is the number
of Tenex disk pages, the second is the number of characters in the file,
for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 10 is the current
volume (A/O Jan 85). Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in
the files SF-LOVERS.xxx-yy where xxx is the month of publication and yy
is the current year. The current month's messages may be found in
PS:<BBOARD>SF-LOVERS.TXT.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to SF-LOVERS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.

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

HUMAN-NETS@RUTGERS
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 a
non-ARPANET host at Rutgers, and must be requested from
HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
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@RUTGERS>
Icon-Group%Arizona.CSNET@CSNet-Relay

general-purpose programming language that emphasizes string and structure
processing). Such topics include: Programming Techniques, Theoretical
Aspects, Icon in relation to other languages, Applications of Icon,
Implementation Issues, Porting Icon, Bugs. Items sent to the list are
immediately redistributed to all persons on the list.
The list will be distributed via CSNET and as such will only be available to
persons on ARPANET and CSNET; a Usenet gateway may be considered at some
point in the future. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list,
problems, questions, etc., should be sent to
Icon-Group-Request%Arizona.CSNET@CSNet-Relay. Questions about obtaining
Icon should be sent to Icon-Project%Arizona.CSNET@CSNet-Relay.

INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM
[formerly Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM]
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132)
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?" Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where users can warn other
of Interlisp-D bugs or solicit help. Solutions to problems of general
interest are, of course, welcome in Info-1100.
It is expected that Info-1100 will be a low volume mailing list compared to
Bug-1100; analagous to most INFO/BUG mailing list pairs. Messages will be
sent to the lists as submitted. Depending on the volume of mail, content,
etc., messages may be collected and digested in the future.
Xeros PARC and SIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communications about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc. As with all network interest groups, however, this is NOT to be used
as a vendor advertising vehicle.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT
<BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
All requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems,
questions, etc., should be sent to Info-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM or

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:". The file
KER:00README.TXT 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:CURRENT.DOC, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. Another is KER:VERSIONS.DOC, which lists all known versions, both
available and in preparation.
Kermit files, including program source and documentation, are available as
follows:
Internet: anonymous FTP from host CU20B, area KER:, 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.

INFO-PCNET@MIT-MC
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.
Documentation is available on MIT-MC in the file:
PCNET;INTRO >
and also some info in:
PCNET;VOLUN MSG
[the file sent out to new members of the mailing list]
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

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 (or@BRL).

IRList%vpi@CSNet-Relay (InterNet)
IRList@vpi (CSNET)
fox@vpics1 (BITNET)
IRList is open to discussion of any topic related to information retrieval.
Certainly, any material relating to ACM SIGIR is of interest. The IR field
has close ties to artificial intelligence, database management, information
and library science, linguistics,... A partial list of topics suitable are:
Information Management/Processing/Science/Technology
AI Applications to IR Indexing
Abstracting Information Display
Citations Information Theory
Cognitive Psychology Knowledge Representation
Communications Networks Language Understanding
Computational Linguistics Library Science
Computer Science NL Processing
Cybernetics Natural Languages
Data Abstraction Pattern Recognition
Document Representations Library Science
Electronic Books Probabilistic Techniques
Expert Systems for IR Speech Analysis
Full-Text Retrieval Statistical Techniques
Hardware aids for IR
Contributions may be anything from tutorials to rampant speculation. In
particular, the following are sought:
Abstracts Reviews
Lab Descriptions Research Overviews
Work Planned or in Progress Half-Baked Ideas
Conference Announcements Conference Reports
Bibliographies History of IR
Queries and Requests Address Changes
The only real boundaries to the discussion are defined by the topics of
other mailing lists. Please do not send communications to both this list
and AIList or the Prolog list, except in special cases.
Please "sign" subscriptions with full name and address so that people can
access you from Internet and/or BITNET (many other networks can be reached
through them and are certainly urged to participate).
There is no objection to distributing material that is destined for
conference proceedings or any other publication. The Coordinator is
involved in SIGIR Forum and, unless submittors request otherwise, may
include submissions in whole or in part in future paper versions of the
FORUM. Indeed, this is one form of solicitation for FORUM contributions!
Both IRList and the FORUM are unrefereed, and opinions are always those of
the author and not of any organization unless there are other indications.
Copies of list items should credit the original author, not necessarily the
IRList.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask IRList-Request
for recent back issues. Note that FTP is not possible, so all communication
must be by EMAIL, phone, or letter.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to IRList-Request%vpi@CSNet-Relay (InterNet),
IRList-Request@vpi (CSNET), or fox@vpics1 (BITNET).

Messages from Dale Amon, or other national L5 people, are passed on to those
on the mailing list. The list is essentially another means of getting
information out to L5 members, sort of an on-line version of the phone trees
or the mass mailings. The Coordinator will manually forward other messages
of interest, but can not moderate a full-scale discussion group.
All information items, as well as all requests to be added to or deleted

LIST-OF-LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~1900 lines or ~82,000 characters) on SRI-NIC in file:
<NETINFO>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET FTP, the
complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not normally
be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to:

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly after
the November 1980 election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact that
electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion
continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began
to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the
nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their
spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list
was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to
consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon
presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity,
the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull
session).
Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in:

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

protocols for async-ascii-serial-lines and any kind of computer/OS. The
eventual goal is to devise (and implement) an all-purpose standard protocol
for FTP.
Message log/archives are kept at RUTGERS in files:

is open to everyone.
Contributions are welcome on a wide range of relevant topics bearing on the
stated subject. Contributors are requested to avoid overt political
statements, personal attacks, flames, etc. Inappropriate submissions will
be rejected.
Back issues may be FTPed from SRI-CSL files

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

SF-CONS-LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging 1000-1500 lines or 55,000-75,000
characters, including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, etc.), the
complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies will \not/ be
sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG, flyers
picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the list maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send requests
to:

SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of books and films. The range of topics is quite
wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics of
interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 10 is the current
volume (A/O Jan 85). Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in

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

TCP-IP@SRI-NIC
The NIC has taken over the responsibility for the periodic update of the
TCP-IP implementations (the latest update can be obtained via FTP by
ANONYMOUS login from SRI-NIC file <NETINFO>TCP-IP-IMPLEMENTATIONS.TXT). We
are particularly interested in the addition and expansion of TCP services.
In addition to this function, it is hoped that this distribution list can
aid in the following areas:
To act as an on-line exchange among TCP developers and maintainers.

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@MIT-MC). 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@RUTGERS
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 a
non-ARPANET host at Rutgers, and must be requested from
HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.

processing). Such topics include: Programming Techniques, Theoretical
Aspects, Icon in relation to other languages, Applications of Icon,
Implementation Issues, Porting Icon, Bugs. Items sent to the list are
immediately redistributed to all persons on the list.
The list will be distributed via CSNET and as such will only be available to
persons on ARPANET and CSNET; a Usenet gateway may be considered at some
point in the future. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list,
problems, questions, etc., should be sent to
Icon-Group-Request%Arizona.CSNET@CSNet-Relay. Questions about obtaining
Icon should be sent to Icon-Project%Arizona.CSNET@CSNet-Relay.
Coordinator: Bill Mitchell <whm%Arizona.CSNET@CSNet-Relay>
INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM
[formerly Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM]
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132)
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?" Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where users can warn other
of Interlisp-D bugs or solicit help. Solutions to problems of general
interest are, of course, welcome in Info-1100.
It is expected that Info-1100 will be a low volume mailing list compared to
Bug-1100; analagous to most INFO/BUG mailing list pairs. Messages will be
sent to the lists as submitted. Depending on the volume of mail, content,
etc., messages may be collected and digested in the future.
Xeros PARC and SIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communications about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc. As with all network interest groups, however, this is NOT to be used
as a vendor advertising vehicle.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT
<BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT

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:". The file
KER:00README.TXT 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:CURRENT.DOC, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. Another is KER:VERSIONS.DOC, which lists all known versions, both
available and in preparation.
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.

INFO-PCNET@MIT-MC
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.
Documentation is available on MIT-MC in the file:
PCNET;INTRO >
and also some info in:
PCNET;VOLUN MSG
[the file sent out to new members of the mailing list]
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

Bibliographies History of IR
Queries and Requests Address Changes
The only real boundaries to the discussion are defined by the topics of
other mailing lists. Please do not send communications to both this list
and AIList or the Prolog list, except in special cases.
Please "sign" subscriptions with full name and address so that people can
access you from Internet and/or BITNET (many other networks can be reached
through them and are certainly urged to participate).
There is no objection to distributing material that is destined for
conference proceedings or any other publication. The Coordinator is
involved in SIGIR Forum and, unless submittors request otherwise, may
include submissions in whole or in part in future paper versions of the
FORUM. Indeed, this is one form of solicitation for FORUM contributions!
Both IRList and the FORUM are unrefereed, and opinions are always those of
the author and not of any organization unless there are other indications.
Copies of list items should credit the original author, not necessarily the
IRList.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask IRList-Request
for recent back issues. Note that FTP is not possible, so all communication
must be by EMAIL, phone, or letter.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to IRList-Request%vpi@CSNet-Relay (InterNet),
IRList-Request@vpi (CSNET), or fox@vpics1 (BITNET).

Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~1900 lines or ~82,000 characters) on SRI-NIC in file:
<NETINFO>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET FTP, the
complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not normally
be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to:
Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC>
Love-Hounds@MIT-Eddie
This is a mailing list for the discussion of Kate Bush's music (and any

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly after
the November 1980 election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact that
electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion
continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began
to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the
nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their
spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list
was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to
consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon
presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity,
the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull
session).
Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in:
<poli-sci>mail.txt
and other files in the <poli-sci> directory
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

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

"RISKS" is a distribution list for discussion of issues related to risks to
the public in the use of computer systems. It has sponsorship of the ACM
Committee on Computers and Public Policy (Chaired by Peter G. Neumann), but
is open to everyone.
Contributions are welcome on a wide range of relevant topics bearing on the
stated subject. Contributors are requested to avoid overt political
statements, personal attacks, flames, etc. Inappropriate submissions will
be rejected.
Back issues may be FTPed from SRI-CSL files

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

SF-CONS-LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging 1000-1500 lines or 55,000-75,000
characters, including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, etc.), the
complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies will \not/ be
sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG, flyers
picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the list maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send requests
to:
Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC>
SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of books and films. The range of topics is quite
wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics of
interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.
T:<SFL>ARCHIVE.V1 860 2200759

For those unfamiliar with Tenex/Tops-20, the first number is the number
of Tenex disk pages, the second is the number of characters in the file,
for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 10 is the current
volume (A/O Jan 85). Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in
the files SF-LOVERS.xxx-yy where xxx is the month of publication and yy
is the current year. The current month's messages may be found in
PS:<BBOARD>SF-LOVERS.TXT.

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

HUMAN-NETS@RUTGERS
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 a
non-ARPANET host at Rutgers, and must be requested from
HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.

Aspects, Icon in relation to other languages, Applications of Icon,
Implementation Issues, Porting Icon, Bugs. Items sent to the list are
immediately redistributed to all persons on the list.
The list will be distributed via CSNET and as such will only be available to
persons on ARPANET and CSNET; a Usenet gateway may be considered at some
point in the future. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list,
problems, questions, etc., should be sent to
Icon-Group-Request%Arizona.CSNET@CSNet-Relay. Questions about obtaining
Icon should be sent to Icon-Project%Arizona.CSNET@CSNet-Relay.

BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM
[formerly Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM]
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132)
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?" Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where users can warn other
of Interlisp-D bugs or solicit help. Solutions to problems of general
interest are, of course, welcome in Info-1100.
It is expected that Info-1100 will be a low volume mailing list compared to
Bug-1100; analagous to most INFO/BUG mailing list pairs. Messages will be
sent to the lists as submitted. Depending on the volume of mail, content,
etc., messages may be collected and digested in the future.
Xeros PARC and SIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communications about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc. As with all network interest groups, however, this is NOT to be used
as a vendor advertising vehicle.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT
<BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT

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
Q4-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 71-104

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.

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.

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@MIT-MC (or @BRL) for this example).
Archives of recent correspondence are kept on SIMTEL20 in several files:
"PS:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>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:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>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,

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:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>MODEM7-ARCHIV.TXT. If and when the older
archives are located, that file will be placed in
PS:<MAIL.ARCHIVES>INFO-MODEM7.ARCHIV.ymmdd.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

INFO-PCNET@MIT-MC
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.
Documentation is available on MIT-MC in the file:
PCNET;INTRO >
and also some info in:
PCNET;VOLUN MSG
[the file sent out to new members of the mailing list]
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

IRList%vpi@CSNet-Relay (InterNet)
IRList@vpi (CSNET)
fox@vpics1 (BITNET)
IRList is open to discussion of any topic related to information retrieval.
Certainly, any material relating to ACM SIGIR is of interest. The IR field
has close ties to artificial intelligence, database management, information
and library science, linguistics,... A partial list of topics suitable are:
Information Management/Processing/Science/Technology
AI Applications to IR Indexing
Abstracting Information Display
Citations Information Theory
Cognitive Psychology Knowledge Representation
Communications Networks Language Understanding
Computational Linguistics Library Science
Computer Science NL Processing
Cybernetics Natural Languages
Data Abstraction Pattern Recognition
Document Representations Library Science
Electronic Books Probabilistic Techniques
Expert Systems for IR Speech Analysis
Full-Text Retrieval Statistical Techniques
Hardware aids for IR
Contributions may be anything from tutorials to rampant speculation. In
particular, the following are sought:
Abstracts Reviews
Lab Descriptions Research Overviews
Work Planned or in Progress Half-Baked Ideas
Conference Announcements Conference Reports
Bibliographies History of IR
Queries and Requests Address Changes
The only real boundaries to the discussion are defined by the topics of
other mailing lists. Please do not send communications to both this list
and AIList or the Prolog list, except in special cases.
Please "sign" subscriptions with full name and address so that people can
access you from Internet and/or BITNET (many other networks can be reached
through them and are certainly urged to participate).
There is no objection to distributing material that is destined for
conference proceedings or any other publication. The Coordinator is
involved in SIGIR Forum and, unless submittors request otherwise, may
include submissions in whole or in part in future paper versions of the
FORUM. Indeed, this is one form of solicitation for FORUM contributions!
Both IRList and the FORUM are unrefereed, and opinions are always those of
the author and not of any organization unless there are other indications.
Copies of list items should credit the original author, not necessarily the
IRList.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask IRList-Request
for recent back issues. Note that FTP is not possible, so all communication
must be by EMAIL, phone, or letter.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to IRList-Request%vpi@CSNet-Relay (InterNet),
IRList-Request@vpi (CSNET), or fox@vpics1 (BITNET).

LIST-OF-LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~1900 lines or ~82,000 characters) on SRI-NIC in file:
<NETINFO>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET FTP, the
complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not normally
be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to:
Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC>
Love-Hounds@MIT-Eddie
This is a mailing list for the discussion of Kate Bush's music (and any
other artistic music or anything else for that matter).

MHS_(X.400)_Implementation%QZCOM@MIT-MULTICS
MHS_IMPLEMENTATION@WISC-RSCH
MHS_implementation@EAN.UBC.CDN
A QZCOM conference with the name "MHS (X.400) implementation"; the
conference will have the name "MHS_(X.400)_implementation" for mail
networks, in most cases postfixed by "%QZCOM@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA". The
conference/mailing list is open to anyone who is seriously interested in
implementing the CCITT X.400 (MHS) message handling protocols or gateways to
these protocols. The conference/mailing list can discuss such things as how
to understand and interpret the MHS recommendation, how to map existing mail
system and mail network features onto the MHS structure etc.
To minimize international communications costs, separate distribution lists
for CSNET/ARPANET and CDNNET users are being maintained at UWISC and UBC
respectively. ARPANET and CSNET users should send messages to
MHS_IMPLEMENTATION@WISC-RSCH. CDNNET users should send messages to
MHS_IMPLEMENTATION@EAN.UBC.CDN. Messages sent to one of the lists will be
forwarded to members of the other lists.
To join the conference:
QZCOM users:
Use the "member" command.
ARPANET/CSNET users:
Send a message to MHS_IMPLEMENTATION-REQUEST@WISC-RSCH
CDNNET users:
Send a message to MHS_IMPLEMENTATION-REQUEST@EAN.UBC.CDN
Users at other sites:

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly after
the November 1980 election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact that
electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion
continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began
to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the
nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their
spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list
was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to
consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon
presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity,
the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull
session).
Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in:

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

SCRIBE-HACKS@UTAH-CS.ARPA
...ihnp4!utah-cs!scribe-hacks (uucp)
Mailing list for Scribe hackers; designed for persons who perform the role
of Scribe Database Administrator at their installation. Discussion will be
about Scribe features, bugs, enhancements, performance, support, and other
topics of interest to Scribe DBAs. The list will NOT be moderated, but will
simply consist of a mail "reflector" - ie. if you send a message to the
list, it will be rebroadcast to everyone on the list. Discussion at the
level of "How do I get a paragraph to indent 5 spaces instead of 3?" is
specifically discouraged.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

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

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

For those unfamiliar with Tenex/Tops-20, the first number is the number
of Tenex disk pages, the second is the number of characters in the file,
for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 10 is the current
volume (A/O Jan 85). Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in
the files SF-LOVERS.xxx-yy where xxx is the month of publication and yy
is the current year. The current month's messages may be found in

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

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@MIT-MC). 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@RUTGERS
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 a
non-ARPANET host at Rutgers, and must be requested from
HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
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-C@BRL
INFO-C is gatewayed with the net.lang.c newsgroup on USENET. net.lang.c's
purpose is to carry on discussion of C programming and the C programming
language. Appropriate topics are:
Queries on how to write something in C
Queries about why some C code behaves the way it does
Suggestions for C modifications or extensions
C coding "tricks"
Compiler bugs
Availability of compilers
etc.
Recently-discussed topics include object-oriented extensions to C,
availability of a public-domain cpp for beta testing, the EQUEL
preprocessor, C compilers for the pdp11 (under RSX), IBM370 and PC, vagaries
of typedef and sizeof, and some new changes to standard C (C++ from a
researcher at Bell Labs, and ANSI committee X3J11). Plus the usual
discussions about C programming style.

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-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.

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.
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-PCNET@MIT-MC
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@MIT-MC.

IRList@VPI (CSNET)
fox@VPICS1 (BITNET)
IRList is open to discussion of any topic related to information retrieval.
Certainly, any material relating to ACM SIGIR is of interest. The IR field
has close ties to artificial intelligence, database management, information
and library science, linguistics,... A partial list of topics suitable are:
Information Management/Processing/Science/Technology
AI Applications to IR Indexing
Abstracting Information Display
Citations Information Theory
Cognitive Psychology Knowledge Representation
Communications Networks Language Understanding
Computational Linguistics Library Science
Computer Science NL Processing
Cybernetics Natural Languages
Data Abstraction Pattern Recognition
Document Representations Library Science
Electronic Books Probabilistic Techniques
Expert Systems for IR Speech Analysis
Full-Text Retrieval Statistical Techniques
Hardware aids for IR
Contributions may be anything from tutorials to rampant speculation. In
particular, the following are sought:
Abstracts Reviews
Lab Descriptions Research Overviews
Work Planned or in Progress Half-Baked Ideas
Conference Announcements Conference Reports
Bibliographies History of IR
Queries and Requests Address Changes
The only real boundaries to the discussion are defined by the topics of
other mailing lists. Please do not send communications to both this list
and AIList or the Prolog list, except in special cases.
Please "sign" subscriptions with full name and address so that people can
access you from Internet and/or BITNET (many other networks can be reached
through them and are certainly urged to participate).
There is no objection to distributing material that is destined for
conference proceedings or any other publication. The Coordinator is
involved in SIGIR Forum and, unless submittors request otherwise, may
include submissions in whole or in part in future paper versions of the
FORUM. Indeed, this is one form of solicitation for FORUM contributions!
Both IRList and the FORUM are unrefereed, and opinions are always those of
the author and not of any organization unless there are other indications.
Copies of list items should credit the original author, not necessarily the
IRList.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask IRList-Request
for recent back issues. Note that FTP is not possible, so all communication
must be by EMAIL, phone, or letter.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to IRList-Request%VPI@CSNet-Relay (InterNet),
IRList-Request@VPI (CSNET), or fox@VPICS1 (BITNET).

L-5 interest group
Messages from Dale Amon, or other national L5 people, are passed on to those
on the mailing list. The list is essentially another means of getting
information out to L5 members, sort of an on-line version of the phone trees
or the mass mailings. The Coordinator will manually forward other messages
of interest, but can not moderate a full-scale discussion group.
All information items, as well as all requests to be added to or deleted
from this list, should be sent to ssc-vax!marla@UW-BEAVER.

LIST-OF-LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~1900 lines or ~82,000 characters) on SRI-NIC in file:
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET FTP, the
complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not normally
be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to:
Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC>
Love-Hounds@MIT-Eddie
This is a mailing list for the discussion of Kate Bush's music (and any

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly after
the November 1980 election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact that
electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion
continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began
to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the
nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their
spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list
was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to
consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon
presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity,
the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull
session).
Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in:

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

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

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

SF-CONS-LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging 1000-1500 lines or 55,000-75,000
characters, including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, etc.), the
complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies will \not/ be
sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or 3rd
month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG, flyers
picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the list maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send requests
to:

SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of books and films. The range of topics is quite
wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics of
interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

For those unfamiliar with Tenex/Tops-20, the first number is the number
of Tenex disk pages, the second is the number of characters in the file,
for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 10 is the current
volume (A/O Jan 85). Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in
the files SF-LOVERS.xxx-yy where xxx is the month of publication and yy
is the current year. The current month's messages may be found in

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

be used to mail periodic updates of the list of all UNIX software held at
SIMTEL20 (probably monthly).
UNIX-SW is not a forum for discussion of this software. Such discussions
are more appropriately held with the authors, or in other groups. Rather,
we are attempting to make known to the widest possible audience the contents
of this large repository of public-domain software.
SIMTEL20 is a DEC-20 machine running the TOPS20 operating system, located at
White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. The machine is a host on the Defense
Data Network (DDN), and as such, gives users located on other hosts the
capability of directly transferring this software via the FTP (file transfer
process) command.
All requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems,
questions, etc., should be sent to UNIX-SW-REQUEST@SIMTEL20.

etc., should be sent to UNIX-TeX-REQUEST@WASHINGTON.
Coordinator: Richard Furuta <Furuta@WASHINGTON>
UNIX-WIZARDS@BRL
Distribution list for people maintaining machines running the Unix operating
system.
Archives of UNIX-WIZARDS are stored on host SRI-NIC in directory
ss:<bboard.unix-wizards>
in files named

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@MIT-MC). 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@RUTGERS
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 a
non-ARPANET host at Rutgers, and must be requested from
HUMAN-NETS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
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-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-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.

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.

INFO-PCNET@MIT-MC
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@MIT-MC.

There is no objection to distributing material that is destined for
conference proceedings or any other publication. The Coordinator is
involved in SIGIR Forum and, unless submittors request otherwise, may
include submissions in whole or in part in future paper versions of the
FORUM. Indeed, this is one form of solicitation for FORUM contributions!
Both IRList and the FORUM are unrefereed, and opinions are always those of
the author and not of any organization unless there are other indications.
Copies of list items should credit the original author, not necessarily the
IRList.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask IRList-Request
for recent back issues. Note that FTP is not possible, so all communication
must be by EMAIL, phone, or letter.

LIST-OF-LISTS
Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.
There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(2000+ lines or ~105,000 characters) on SRI-NIC in files:
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-1.TXT (first half of the list)
NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-2.TXT (second half of the list)
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET
FTP, the complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will not
normally be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>
Love-Hounds@MIT-Eddie

electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion
continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began
to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the
nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their
spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list
was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to
consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon
presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity,
the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull
session).
Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in:

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to POLI-SCI-REQUEST@RUTGERS.

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

Committee on Computers and Public Policy (Chaired by Peter G. Neumann), but
is open to everyone.
Contributions are welcome on a wide range of relevant topics bearing on the
stated subject. Contributors are requested to avoid overt political
statements, personal attacks, flames, etc. Inappropriate submissions will
be rejected.
Back issues may be FTPed from SRI-CSL files

SCRIBE-HACKS@UTAH-CS.ARPA
...ihnp4!utah-cs!scribe-hacks (uucp)
Mailing list for Scribe hackers; designed for persons who perform the role
of Scribe Database Administrator at their installation. Discussion will be
about Scribe features, bugs, enhancements, performance, support, and other
topics of interest to Scribe DBAs. The list will NOT be moderated, but will
simply consist of a mail "reflector" - ie. if you send a message to the
list, it will be rebroadcast to everyone on the list. Discussion at the
level of "How do I get a paragraph to indent 5 spaces instead of 3?" is
specifically discouraged.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to SCRIBE-HACKS-REQUEST@UTAH-CS (or uucp:
...ihnp4!utah-cs!scribe-hacks-request).
Coordinator: Walt <Haas@UTAH-20.ARPA>
SECURITY@RUTGERS
This list is designed to provide a forum for discussion of the field of
security in general, be it electronic, physical, or computer-related. Since
the original idea was to name this list LOCKSMITHS, discussions about
physical security and hardware are welcomed, but to broaden out into
computer security and electronic access control and such is also valid. In
other words, any subject matter relating to the *improvement* and
*implementation* of security systems is okay, while how to *defeat* them is
not. Messages are not digestified, but are filtered to keep things of
questionable legality/ content from escaping out to the network.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to SECURITY-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
Coordinator: *Hobbit* <AWalker@RUTGERS>
SELF-ORGANIZATION@MIT-MC
(or SELF-ORG@MIT-MC)

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

For those unfamiliar with Tenex/Tops-20, the first number is the number
of Tenex disk pages, the second is the number of characters in the file,
for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 10 is the current
volume (A/O Jan 85). Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and are in
the files SF-LOVERS.xxx-yy where xxx is the month of publication and yy
is the current year. The current month's messages may be found in
PS:<BBOARD>SF-LOVERS.TXT.

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