comp.sys.apple (on USENET) = info-apple (on INTERNET) = INFO-APP (on Bitnet) It's all the same thing (or at least redistributed copies of the same thing). If you subscribe through your bitnet account you receive "info-apple" from the LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 (which functions as a single address from arpanet to bitnet and "serves" bitnet subscribers). Out of pure curiosity. If you receive comp.sys.apple, where to you address items you which to post to the list? As far as I know EVERYTHING eventually finds its way to the "id" known as info-apple at the Ballistics Research Lab (brl) on arpanet before being "mailed" to subscribers World-wide. --------------------- Disclaimer: My employer often is appalled by my opinions, and my facts may be only vaguely right <slippery when wet>.

I send to "comp.sys.apple@usenet" - but I rarely post that way, because usenet newsgroups are digested at a node on DEC's internal net before being sent wholesale to all DEC subscribers. I get info-apple fresh of the press, as it were, without that delay for digestion.
