I'm not sure where to post this, so feel free to complain...
I recently was informed of the existance of the "netlib server", a
program which responds to requests sent to it via e-mail. The
program maintains a database of a wide variety of sources for various
numerically-oriented packages (such as linpack), and some other odds
and ends. For those interested, send e-mail to
"netlib@anl-mcs.arpa". Send a message containing the line "send index"
to the server. I'm not sure of other paths to the machine -- sorry.
Having said this, I would like to know if there are other similar
facilities available on usenet. I do know about this thing called the
lyrics server "lyrics@umass.bitnet", which maintains a database of song
lyrics by author and/or album title. Send a message containing the
single word "help" to the formentioned address for more. Are there
other such things out there? Is there a list of addresses and
cescriptions of purpose available somewhere?

I'm aware of two other mail servers: ...decwrl!archive-server which has
a list a recipes and software (including the archive server), and
archive-server@plaid.sun.com which has the back issues of Other Realms,
an electronic (and paper) magazine of SF & fantasy fiction reviews
(excellent quality, including reviews by Chuq von Roshpach, ed.,
Charles deLint, and others).
P.S. I don't know where this should be netwise, either.
