The 'INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT' file at nic.ddn.mil is still on version .52/Mar 90. I have been told that a revised list comes out monthly, however. If this is true, could someone please provide me with an anonymous FTP address I can go to to get the latest revision. Thanx. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- johnboyd@ocdis01.af.mil 72341.1707@compuserve.com ============================================================================ "Remember, just because you're paranoid doesn't necessarily mean there's not someone out to get you" -Gallagher

I last updated the Interest-Groups database the end of March, and turned it over to the NIC staff for further maintenance. At the time, I did NOT send out a final update-notice message, figuring the NIC staff could send it out and use the opportunity to announce they had taken over the list-of-lists maintenance and letting people know where to send future update-info. messages. As far as I can tell, the database hasn't been updated since then, nor did the NIC ever send out an update notice specifying what changes had been posted to create the end-March version. I have no idea what's going on; I was assured they had the manhours available to handle the ongoing maintenance, but perhaps they grossly underestimated the level of effort required. I no longer have a login on NIC.DDN.MIL, but I continue sending list update info. to the old ZELLICH@NIC.DDN.MIL address and so far it at least hasn't bounced. Whether anyone's reading those messages or not is another question... Cheers, Rich
