spaf@gatech.EDU (Gene Spafford) (12/13/86)
What follows is part 1 (of 2) of the Arpanet List of Lists. This list is maintained by Rich Zellich and corresponds to the List of Active Newsgroups which I maintain on the Usenet. Many of the groups listed herein are gatewayed into Usenet newsgroups. Note that uucp-only sites are usually not able to receive these lists except through gatewayed Usenet newsgroups. Part 2 of the list is in a companion article. Gene Spafford 12 December 1986 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGES SINCE LAST UPDATE-NOTICE (20 Nov 86): ARPANET-BBOARDS Description updated; Archives location added; Coordinator name changed. CAN-INET New mailing list (discussion of a Canadian internet). COMM-L New mailing list (communications discussion). DEAD-HEADS Mailing lists reorganized. DYNSYS-L New mailing list (discussion of ergodic theory & dynamical systems). HEADER-PEOPLE Moved to new host. HY-PEOPLE New host name. INFO-FINITE Deleted mailing list. LINGUA Deleted mailing list. NEURON New mailing list (discussion of brain-like networks and computing). OPSYS Deleted mailing list. P4200 Added archive locations. SUMMARY OF MAILING-LISTS IN THIS FILE: PLEASE NOTE: The general convention is that for administrivia about a list (like getting added or deleted, asking about archive files, etc.) you write to list-REQUEST@host (e.g., HEADER-PEOPLE-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU). This gets you to the moderator, rather than to the membership of the entire mailing list. Please look carefully at the entry for each list you are interested in, to see if a -REQUEST address has been provided. +-----------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | ADA-SW | INFO-HAMS | NAMEDROPPERS | | ADVISE-L | INFO-HZ100 | NetMonth | | AI-ED[ucation] | INFO-IBMPC | NEURON | | AILIST | INFO-IDL | NIHONGO | | AMETHYST-USERS | INFO-IRIS | NL-KR | | APOLLO | INFO-JAPAN | NORTHSTAR-USERS | | ARMS-D | INFO-KERMIT | NUKE-WINTER | | ARPA-MHS | INFO-LAPTOPS | P4200 | | ARPANET-BBOARDS | INFO-LAW | PACKET-RADIO | | ASM370 | INFO-MAC | PARSYM | | Astronomy Events | INFO-MACFORTH | PC-Token-Ring | | AUDIO | INFO-MICRO | PCIP (PC TCP/IP) | | AVIATION | INFO-MODULA-2 | PHILOSOPHY-OF-SCIENCE | | BIZARRE-PEOPLE | INFO-NETS | PHYSICS | | CA (cellular automata)| INFO-PASCAL | POLI-SCI | | CADinterest^ | INFO-PCNET | PROLOG/PROLOG-HACKERS | | CAN-INET | INFO-POSTSCRIPT | ProtocolS | | CBMLIST | INFO-PRINTERS | Psychnet (see EPSYNET) | | CLUSTER | INFO-PROTEON | PUP-LOVERS | | COMM-L | INFO-PYRAMID | RAILROAD | | COMPOS01 | INFO-RIDGE | REXX Forum | | Computers and Society | INFO-RSTS | RISKS | | CUBE-LOVERS | INFO-SEQUENT | SCHEME | | Cyber-L | INFO-TERMS | SCRIBE-HACKS | | Dead-Heads | INFO-TMODEM/BUG-TMODEM | SECURITY | | DESKTOP-PUBLISHING | INFO-UNIX | SELF-ORGANIZATION | | DynSys-L | INFO-V (V dist op sys) | SERVERS | | EDITOR-PEOPLE | INFO-VAX | SF-CONS LIST | | EPSYNET (Psychnet) | INFO-VLSI | SF-LOVERS | | ESPERANTO | INFO-XENIX310 | SKY-FANS | | EVOLUTION | INFO-XLISP | SMAUG | | FANZINE | INFO-XMODEM | SOFT-ENG | | FIGIL (FORTH Int Grp) | INTEREST-GROUPS LIST | SPACE | | FIREARMS | IRLIST | STD-UNIX | | FRANZ-FRIENDS | ISODE | SUN-SPOTS | | FSFNET (fanzine) | KILLER | SYMBOLIC MATH | | GAMEMASTERS | L-5 | TCP-IP | | GOULDBUGS | L-HCAP (handicapped) | TECHNICAL RPTS REDIST'N| | HANDHELDS | LAN-News | TELECOM | | HEADER-PEOPLE | LASER-LOVERS | TEXHAX | | HEALTH-NET | LIST OF MAILING LISTS | TheoryNet | | HEATH-PEOPLE | LOVE-HOUNDS | TOPS-20 | | HORSE | Mail-Men | UNIX-EMACS | | HUMAN-NETS | Mail-Zilog | UNIX-SOURCES | | HY(perchannel)-PEOPLE | mailjc | UNIX-SW | | IBM-NETS | MEDINF-L | UNIX-TeX | | ICON-GROUP | MER.SIGBIG(supercomp's)| UNIX-WIZARDS | | INFO-/BUG-TI-EXPLORER | METAPHILOSOPHERS | V2LNI-PEOPLE | | INFO-1100/BUG-1100 | MH-USERS | VECTREX-PEOPLE | | INFO-68K | MH-WORKERS | VIDEOTECH | | INFO-ADA | MHS (X.400) implement'n| VISION | | INFO-AMIGA | MILSIM | VPLLIST | | INFO-AOS | MMM-PEOPLE | WELDCOMP | | INFO-APPLE | MsgGroup(archives only)| WorkS[tations] | | INFO-APPLEBUS | MUS (Masscomp User Grp)| writers (SF) | | INFO-ATARI[8/16] | music-research | XPERT | | INFO-BITGRAPH | NA (numerical analysis)| XPORT | | INFO-BLIT | | | | INFO-C | | | | INFO-CPM | | | | INFO-DEC-MICRO | | | | INFO-FUTURES | | | | INFO-GRAPHICS | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +-----------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ ADA-SW@SIMTEL20.ARPA A mailing list for those who in accessing and contributing software to the Ada Repository on SIMTEL20; it serves two purposes: to provide an information exchange medium between the repository users and to mail repository submissions to the Coordinator for inclusion in the archives.

Coordinator: Rick Conn <RCONN@SIMTEL20.ARPA> ADVISE-L%CANADA01.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU Unmoderated mailing list intended for discussion among students who work part-time at the various university computer centers. It is particularly intended for people who work as student advisors or consultants, although others are welcome. Another use of the list is to get help from others on problems that might be encountered, or to let everyone know about new things such as new file servers, so that everyone can put the network to the best possible use. Alternate paths/addresses: The list is served by 5 servers (ADVISE-L@UTORONTO, ADVISE-L@CANADA01, ADVISE-L@NCSUVM, ADVISE-L@UGA, and MD4F@CMUCCVMA) which are peer linked so that anything sent to one will be sent to the other two automatically. ADVISE-L@NCSUVM is probably the closest server to the WISCVM ARPANet gateway. To subscribe to the list: From a VM site on BITNET do: TELL LISTSERV at CANADA01 SUBSCRIBE ADVISE-L Your_Full_Name where Your_Full_Name is your real name (not your userid). From a VMS BITNET site use the SEND/REMOTE command. If you are at a site not on bitnet or where you cannot send interactive messages you can send a message to LISTSERV%CANADA01.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU where the first non-header line consists of: SUBSCRIBE ADVISE-L Your_Full_Name Please refer any questions to the Coordinator. Coordinator: Scott Campbell <SCOTT%UTORONTO.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU> <scott%utcs.toronto.edu@CSNet-Relay.ARPA> SCOTT@UTORONTO.BITNET AI-ED@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA Discussions related to the application of artificial intelligence to education. This includes material on intelligent computer assisted instruction (ICAI) or intelligent tutoring systems (ITS), interactive encyclopedias, intelligent information retrieval for educational purposes, and pychological and cognitive science models of learning, problem solving, and teaching that can be applied to education. Issues related to teaching AI are welcome. Topics may also include evaluation of tutoring systems, commercialization of AI based instructional systems, description of actual use of an ITS in a classroom setting, user-modeling, intelligent user-interfaces, and the use of graphics or videodisk in ICAI. Announcements of books, papers, conferences, new products, public domain software tools, etc. are encouraged. If there are several people at one site that are interested, users should try to form a local distribution system to lessen the load on SUMEX-AIM. Archives of messages are kept on host SUMEX-AIM in file: <BBOARD>AI-ED.TXT All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to AI-Ed-Request@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA. Coordinator: Mark Richer <Richer@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA> AILIST@SRI-AI AIList is a major list for discussion of artificial intelligence and related topics: Expert Systems AI Techniques Knowledge Representation Knowledge Acquisition Problem Solving Hierarchical Inference Machine Learning Pattern Recognition Analogical Reasoning Data Analysis Cognitive Psychology Human Perception AI Languages and Systems Machine Translation Theorem Proving Decision Theory Logic Programming Computer Science Automatic Programming Information Science 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 AI Puzzles and Unsolved Problems Anecdotes, Jokes, and Poems Queries and Requests Address Changes (Bindings) All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to AIList-Request@SRI-AI. Coordinator: Dr. Kenneth I. Laws <Laws@SRI-AI> SRI International 333 Ravenswood Ave. Menlo Park, CA 94025 (415) 859-6467 AMETHYST-USERS@SIMTEL20.ARPA This list is intended for people who use Amethyst, a software package of CP/M-80 programs: MINCE (an ersatz EMACS) and SCRIBBLE (an ersatz SCRIBE). Archives are kept on SIMTEL20 in files: PS:<ARCHIVES.AMETHYST>AMETHYST-ARCHIV.TXT (current archives) PS:<ARCHIVES.AMETHYST>AMETHYST.ARCHIV.31013 (old archives) 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 AMETHYST-USERS-REQUEST@SIMTEL20.ARPA. Coordinator: Frank Wancho <WANCHO@SIMTEL20.ARPA> APOLLO@YALE Users of Apollo computers who are interested in sharing their experiences about Apollos. At least initially, the list will not be moderated or digested; if the volume is sufficient, this may change. Mail to the list will be archived in some public place that will be announced at a later date. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Apollo-Request@YALE. Coordinator: Nathaniel Mishkin <Mishkin@YALE> ARMS-D@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU The ARMS-D digest is for various and sundry comments and questions on policy issues related to peace, war, national security, weapons, the arms race, and the like. Recent archives live in the file XX:<ARMS-D>ARCHIVE.CURRENT. MIT-XX supports the ANONYMOUS FTP login protocol: Connect to XX, login as ANONYMOUS, use the password GUEST, and transfer the file. All administrative requests (e.g., additions to the list) should go to ARMS-D-REQUEST@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU; complaints, praise and suggestions can be directed to either ARMS-D or ARMS-D-REQUEST. Moderator: LIN@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU ARPA-MHS@BRL The purpose of the ARPA-MHS list is to discuss gatewaying of ARPA RFC920 addresses with MHS X.400 addresses; it is quite diversified, with several representatives from BITNET, Mailnet, UUCP, ARPANET, and EAN. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to ARPA-MHS-REQUEST@BRL. Coordinator: Einar Stefferud <ESTEFFERUD@USC-ECL> ARPANET-BBOARDS@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU Redistribution address for all known BBoards on the ARPANET. The guidelines for postings are somewhat loose. The ostensible purpose of the list is to distribute: (a) emergency notices ("Southern California just slid into the Pacific, machines at ISI and UCSD will be down for a few days"), and (b) notices of "academic interest", such as seminar and symposium announcements. Advertisements and for-profit notices are not appropriate (the DoD would get upset, among other considerations). A touchy borderline case is job offerings. The practice has been to accept postings from universities (the research community) and the research oriented military installations (the people paying for our hardware) but to refuse postings from private companies. The (shaky) rational behind this is that university and military job offerings are "research opportunities" as opposed to for-profit advertisements (ie, joining the army or a university is not the way to get rich). Anyone is welcome to redistribute Arpanet-BBoards; it takes some of the (considerable) load off of MC's mailer. But please don't do it without sending a message to the -Request address first. There are Archive copies of every message ever sent to the list but no guarantee is made that they will be online or available at any particular time. The current archive file, such as it is, can be found as "COMAIL;BBOARD ARCHIV" on MC.LCS.MIT.EDU. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to ARPANET-BBOARDS-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU.

Here's how it all works: DEAD-HEADS@AI.AI.MIT.EDU -- Use this list for songlists and concert reviews, and for hotline info. LOCAL-DEAD-HEADS@AI.AI.MIT.EDU -- These are the east-coast and LOCAL-DEAD-HEADS@SRI-AI.ARPA -- west-coast parts of DEAD-HEADS. If you have a message which you think will only be of interest to people on one half of the country, (say, you have extra room in your car for a ride to a show) send it here. Also good for this list are messages announcing Jerry Band or other "sub-band" shows. DEAD-FLAMES@AI.AI.MIT.EDU -- This includes all messages sent to any of net.music.gdead -- the lists above, plus anything anyone sends (or posts, in the case of net.music.gdead) directly, which can be anything to do with the Grateful Dead. Requests to be added to or deleted from any of the mailing lists should be sent to the appropriate -REQUEST list (e.g. DEAD-FLAMES-REQUEST). Old messages to all of these lists are archived back through March '85. Also online is an updated version of Dave Wilkins' lyrics list, and all songlists sent to the network. Send mail to DEAD-FLAMES-REQUEST if you're interested. Coordinators: Gregor Kiczales <Dead-Heads-Request@AI.AI.MIT.EDU> Paul Martin <Local-Dead-Heads-Request@SRI-AI.ARPA> David Wallace <Dead-Flames-Request@AI.AI.MIT.EDU> DESKTOP-PUBLISHING <dtp%plaid@SUN.COM> Discussion group for sharing information on desktop publishing techniques and new technologies used in small publishing projects.

Almost all kinds of contributions are welcome, especially: Abstracts Illuminating comments Open problems Historical remarks News items Reviews Announcements of meetings Conference reports Address changes Bibliographies Examples Work planned or in progress Questions Anecdotes, jokes, puzzles. The list will be maintained by a list-server facility called NEWSERV, which acts as a userid at the BitNet node UNCVM1. To be added to or deleted from this list, see the following directions, or send a message to one of the Coordinators. BitNet users can use the ADD command to add their name to a list: For users at remote IBM/VM sites the following format is used: TELL NEWSERV AT UNCVM1 ADD DYNSYS-L username At UTSO use the VMSG command send to userid NEWSERV, node UNCVM1, and a message of ADD DYNSYS-L username. VAX/VMS sites running jnet version 2 use the ADD command like this: SEND NEWSERV@UNCVM1 ADD DYNSYS-L username BitNet users with other environments can contact their local user services group for assistance. Users without interactive messaging capability,or non-BitNet users can send a request to ULTIMA@UNCVM1 or to one of the list Coordinators to have their names added to the list. The DROP command is used to remove a name from a list: For remote IBM/VM sites, the DROP command is used like this: TELL NEWSERV AT UNCVM1 DROP DYNSYS-L At UTSO use the VMSG command send to userid NEWSERV, node UNCVM1, and a message of DROP DYNSYS-L. VAX/VMS sites with jnet version 2 can use this command: SEND NEWSERV@UNCVM1 DROP DYNSYS-L Coordinators: Karl Petersen <UNCKEP%UNC.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU> Doug Lind <lind@ENTROPY.MS.WASHINGTON.EDU> EDITOR-PEOPLE@SU-SCORE (ARPANET) ucbvax!editor-people (USENET) Discussion of topics related to computerized text editing, display editors, and human factors in man/machine interaction. The theoretical discussion is catholic, but practical discussion focuses particularly on Tops-20 and Unix. The discussion also appears on the Unix USENET distributed bulletin board. ****This list is inactive (A/O Sep 86) and is in search of a new Coordinator. Volunteers should respond to the current Coordinator or to the -Request address.**** An archive is on host SU-SCORE at PS:<JQJ>EDITORMAIL.TXT All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to EDITOR-PEOPLE-REQUEST@SU-SCORE. Coordinator: J.Q. Johnson <jqj@CORNELL> EPSYNET (see entry for Psychnet) EPSYNET@UHUPVM1 (BitNet) ESPERANTO@LLL-CRG.ARPA A forum for people interested in the neutral international language Esperanto. Discussions about the language itself, the Esperanto movement, publications, and news are encouraged. Of course, discussion *in* Esperanto is especially encouraged, although English translations may be advisable when the material is of interest to beginners or non-Esperantists. This list is identical to the USENET mailing list `mail.esperanto'. The forwarding addresses were installed on LLL-CRG by Andy Beals; ESPERANTO forwards to the "real" mail.esperanto address trwrb!trwspp!spp2!esperanto and ESPERANTO-REQUEST forwards to the Coordinator (trwrb!trwspp!spp2!urban). All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to to ESPERANTO-REQUEST@LLL-CRG.ARPA. Coordinator: Mike Urban <ESPERANTO-REQUEST@LLL-CRG.ARPA> 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: king@Kestrel fanzine%plaid@SUN.ARPA This is the mailing list for OtherRealms, a Science Fiction and Fantasy fanzine being published electronically.

Coordinator: Chuq Von Rospach <chuq%plaid@SUN.ARPA> FIGIL <UMFORTH%WEIZMANN.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU> The FORTH Interest Groups International List (FIGIL) is dedicated to any and all things connected directly or indirectly with the FORTH computer language. The list is not restricted to technical, professional levels; novice FORTH'ers are encouraged to take part. Also there is no particular implementation, machine, or product emphasiszed. Submissions are requested to keep in mind the issue of portablility of any specific source code. Follow a recognized standard when possible like Forth 79, Forth 83, or FigForth. Any submissions, letters, source listings, etc. will be resent to all subscribers. Copyrighted material, of course, cannot be resent by this list. Public Domain code only! Furthermore, Bitnet prohibits commercial distribution or advertising. List submissions, as well as all requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to UMFORTH%WEIZMANN.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU. Coordinator: Tamir Weiner <UMFORTH%WEIZMANN.BITNET@WISCVM- FIREARMS <cbosgd!cbrma!firearms@seismo.CSS.GOV> This mailing list has been created to provide an environment in which sportsmen can discuss issues of concern to them. Topics include but are not limited to hunting, firearms safety, legal issues, reloading tips, maintenance suggestions, target shooting, and dissemination of general info. The list is NOT intended to discuss the merits of gun control. Archives are maintained by the moderator. As of 1 Jul 85, the list is 4 months old, having 11 back issues comprising approximately 160K of text. Moderator: Karl Kleinpaste <cbosgd!cbrma!karl@seismo.CSS.GOV> FRANZ-FRIENDS@BERKELEY Discusses the Franz Lisp language. A sub-list, FRANZ-COMPOSERS@BERKELEY, is composed of people who are in charge of maintaining Franz LISP. The sub-list is used for sending bug fixes. The archive of old messages is kept on MIT-MC, in the file: LSPMAI; FRANZL FORUM All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to FRANZ-FRIENDS-REQUEST@BERKELEY. Coordinator: John Foderaro <JKF@BERKELEY> FSFNET <CSDAVE%MAINE.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU> An electronic version of the typical science fiction/fantasy 'fanzine'. Issues are sent to network users approximately every two to six weeks, and generally range in size from 500 to 1000 lines. Typical issues primarily contain amateur fiction by network authors from around the world (the emphasis of the zine), although there are occasional movie and book reviews, discussions of featured authors, game reviews, or any one of an infinite number of fantasy and science fiction related topics. FSFnet tries to deal with all aspects of science fiction and fantasy fiction fandom, while giving young authors the opportunity to interact with a real readership and improve their writing skills. If you are interested in writing or contributing to FSFnet, feel free to discuss it with the editor; submissions of all kinds are always welcome. There is also the organized Dargon Project, where authors write about the same area, borrowing characters and learning from one another, very similar to Robert Lynn Asprin's Thieve's World project. This makes for much more interesting issues as well as improving the style of the writer, exposing him to the public, and helping him meet other budding authors. The Dargon Project is an exciting and rewarding project, and has made for some excellent fantasy fiction. The project is open to all fantasy writers; users who are interested in writing for the project should contact the editor. An index of back issues may be requested from the editor, and the BitNet servers TCSSERVE@TCSVM and SILMARIL@FINHUTC both maintain complete FSFnet libraries. BitNet server CSNEWS@MAINE also maintains the most recent issue. DO NOT refer problems, questions, etc. to these servers. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to the editor. The request should contain your userid and node name, as well as your real name and, if you are a BitNet user, the format in which you prefer issues to be sent (either DISK DUMP CLASS N, PUNCH CLASS M, or SENDFILE/NETDATA).

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

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

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

Coordinator: Gern <GERN@RADC-TOPS20> INFO-IBMPC@C.ISI.EDU Info-IBMPC is a forum for technical discussion of the IBM Personal Computer and compatible micro-computers, providing a way for interested members of the ARPANET community to compare notes, ask questions, and share insights of a technical nature about these machines. While it is not primarily a consumer's guide to the IBM PC, the digest may also be useful for that purpose. Messages are collected, edited into digests and distributed as the volume of mail dictates (generally twice a week). All messages of a technical nature about IBM PCs are welcomed; messages about other topics will not be run. In addition, two topics are taboo and are routinely edited out: (1) self promotion of products for sale, and (2) anything about copy protection. Recent digests are archived on USC-ISIC (C.ISI.EDU) in <INFO-IBMPC>DIGESTS-85. Older digests are archived by quarter in the following files: Q1-DIGESTS-85 ; V4 # 1-40 [too big for mm, use hermes] Q4-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 91-119 Q3-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 70-90 Q2-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 36-69 Q1-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 1-35 Q4-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 71-104 Q3-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 40-70 Q2-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 20-39 Q1-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 1-19 Q34-DIGESTS-82 ; V1 # 1-34 These files can be read by MM, HERMES, and other TOPS20 mail systems. KWIC-INDEX.TXT contains a key-word-in-context index to digest articles. TOC.???85 contains a table of contents for the month ???. These files may be FTP'ed to any Arpanet/Milnet host from [USC-ISIC]<INFO-IBMPC> by logging in within FTP using username ANONYMOUS, password GUEST. If you're not directly on the Arpanet the files can be mailed to you, although there is a limit to the length of a message. A library of free software is maintained in [USC-ISIC]<INFO-IBMPC>. The list of available programs is in <INFO-IBMPC>PROGRAM-LIBRARY.LIST. Donations of source code are eagerly welcomed (even trivial programs).

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. Moderator: Frank da Cruz <SY.FDC@CU20B> INFO-LAPTOPS%MIT-OZ@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU This list is for owners of laptop portable computers, including the Model 100, Model 200, NEC, and others.

Coordinator: Mike Muuss <INFO-LAW-REQUEST@BRL.ARPA> INFO-MAC@SUMEX-AIM Network interest group for the Apple Macintosh computer. This list is SUMEX's contribution to the community of research and instructional developers and users of the Macintosh; all submissions of messages and programs in this spirit are welcome. For those sites with FTP access to SUMEX-AIM, archives for INFO-MAC are kept under {SUMEX-AIM}<INFO-MAC>ARCHIVE.<month>, where month = feb84,mar84,...jan85,... Programs submitted to the bulletin board, along with documentation files and other references are also stored in <INFO-MAC>. With FTP access as user "anonymous" and any password,you can bring these files over to your host and download them to your Macintosh. "Usenet" and some of the other networks that copy info-mac will see sources redistributed at the time they are mentioned in the digest distributions. You can in addition, purchase a dump tape of the directory; see the file <INFO-MAC>00ORDER. <INFO-MAC> is also the repository for the development tools and utilities developed at SUMEX and at other universities. The "sumacc" cross compiler is also available on tape for a minimal charge: See the file <INFO-MAC>SUMACC.ORDER Messages to INFO-MAC@SUMEX-AIM are scanned to filter out any list requests, questions previously answered, pure speculation or opinion, or message obviously not in line with the stated purpose of the list. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-MAC-REQUEST@SUMEX-AIM. Coordinator: John Mark Agosta <INFO-MAC-REQUEST@SUMEX-AIM> INFO-MACFORTH@HARVARD (ARPANET) ihnp4!harvard!info-macforth (UUCP) Mailing list dedicated to discussion of applications for, problems with and questions relating to the MacFORTH programming environment by CSI, Inc. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-MACFORTH-REQUEST@HARVARD (ARPANET) or ihnp4!harvard!info-macforth-request (UUCP). Coordinator: Stew Rubenstein <lhasa!stew@harvard> INFO-MICRO@BRL Information/discussion list on the general interest topic of microcomputers. Questions/discussions on a particular Operating System, such as CP/M, should be addressed to the specific list if one already exists (such as INFO-CPM@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU (or @BRL) for this example). Archives of recent correspondence are kept on SIMTEL20 in several files: "PS:<ARCHIVES.MICRO>MICRO.ARCHIV.ymmdd" is a group of files containing correspondence going back several years. The characters "ymmdd" in the file names are actually digits giving the year, month and day of the last message in each particular file. "PS:<ARCHIVES.MICRO>MICRO-ARCHIV.TXT" contains a growing archive of current correspondence. Over 80 megabytes of public domain software (most of it CP/M) are kept in five program archives on SIMTEL20. For a description of these archives, request a copy of the "archive blurb" from INFO-CPM-REQUEST@AMSAA. All correspondence and program archives described here are available to Internet users via FTP with user-name ANONYMOUS. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-MICRO-REQUEST@BRL. Coordinator: Ron Natalie <ron@BRL> INFO-MODULA-2@ROCHESTER.ARPA A discussion list for the Modula-2 programming language. Modula-2 is a language by Niklaus Wirth which extends the Pascal foundation by providing an updated statement syntax (generalized LOOP, EXIT, RETURN, no GOTO), separate compilation with a module (compilation unit) broken into specification and implementation parts with importing and exporting of objects, controlled machine level access, and concurrent programming and coroutines. Modula-2 has most of the power of Ada but is small enough that excellent full implementations exist for CP/M 80. Mail archives are stored on SIMTEL20 in file: <ARCHIVES.MODULA-2>MODULA-2-ARCHIV.TXT They are available via ANONYMOUS FTP from SIMTEL20 for those with TCP/IP access to the Internet. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-MODULA-2-REQUEST@ROCHESTER.ARPA. Coordinator: Ken Yap <ken%ur-seneca.local@ROCHESTER.ARPA> INFO-NETS%MIT-OZ@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU Mailing list to gather information on the bitnet, and other, networks. The list mostly concerns itself with specific questions about particular networks; requests for specific information are accepted. The bitnet host table is being expanded to cover other networks; it will be called "common; nets hosts" on MIT-MC and "<common>nets.hosttab" on MIT-OZ. A domain-style addressing will be supported in the table. Other files are also maintained on both MIT-OZ and MIT-MC. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-NETS-REQUEST%MIT-OZ@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU. Coordinator: Robert L. Krawitz <rlk@ATHENA.MIT.EDU> <gzt.rlk%OZ@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU> INFO-PASCAL@BRL.ARPA This list is intended for people who are interested in the programming language Pascal. Discussions of any Pascal implementation (from mainframe to micro) are welcome.

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

Coordinator: Rick Conn <RCONN@SIMTEL20.ARPA> ADVISE-L%CANADA01.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU Unmoderated mailing list intended for discussion among students who work part-time at the various university computer centers. It is particularly intended for people who work as student advisors or consultants, although others are welcome. Another use of the list is to get help from others on problems that might be encountered, or to let everyone know about new things such as new file servers, so that everyone can put the network to the best possible use. Alternate paths/addresses: The list is served by 5 servers (ADVISE-L@UTORONTO, ADVISE-L@CANADA01, ADVISE-L@NCSUVM, ADVISE-L@UGA, and MD4F@CMUCCVMA) which are peer linked so that anything sent to one will be sent to the other two automatically. ADVISE-L@NCSUVM is probably the closest server to the WISCVM ARPANet gateway. To subscribe to the list: From a VM site on BITNET do: TELL LISTSERV at CANADA01 SUBSCRIBE ADVISE-L Your_Full_Name where Your_Full_Name is your real name (not your userid). From a VMS BITNET site use the SEND/REMOTE command. If you are at a site not on bitnet or where you cannot send interactive messages you can send a message to LISTSERV%CANADA01.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU where the first non-header line consists of: SUBSCRIBE ADVISE-L Your_Full_Name Please refer any questions to the Coordinator. Coordinator: Scott Campbell <SCOTT%UTORONTO.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU> <scott%utcs.toronto.edu@CSNet-Relay.ARPA> SCOTT@UTORONTO.BITNET AI-CHI <wiley!ai-chi@lll-lcc.ARPA> Unmoderated mailing list intended for discussion on the subjects related to AI applications to Human-Computer interface design.

Laws <Laws@SRI-AI> SRI International 333 Ravenswood Ave. Menlo Park, CA 94025 (415) 859-6467 AMETHYST-USERS@SIMTEL20.ARPA This list is intended for people who use Amethyst, a software package of CP/M-80 programs: MINCE (an ersatz EMACS) and SCRIBBLE (an ersatz SCRIBE). Archives are kept on SIMTEL20 in files: PS:<ARCHIVES.AMETHYST>AMETHYST-ARCHIV.TXT (current archives) PS:<ARCHIVES.AMETHYST>AMETHYST.ARCHIV.31013 (old archives) 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 AMETHYST-USERS-REQUEST@SIMTEL20.ARPA. Coordinator: Frank Wancho <WANCHO@SIMTEL20.ARPA> APOLLO@YALE Users of Apollo computers who are interested in sharing their experiences about Apollos. At least initially, the list will not be moderated or digested; if the volume is sufficient, this may change. Mail to the list will be archived in some public place that will be announced at a later date. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Apollo-Request@YALE. Coordinator: Nathaniel Mishkin <Mishkin@YALE> ARMS-D@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU The ARMS-D digest is for various and sundry comments and questions on policy issues related to peace, war, national security, weapons, the arms race, and the like. Recent archives live in the file XX:<ARMS-D>ARCHIVE.CURRENT. MIT-XX supports the ANONYMOUS FTP login protocol: Connect to XX, login as ANONYMOUS, use the password GUEST, and transfer the file. All administrative requests (e.g., additions to the list) should go to ARMS-D-REQUEST@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU; complaints, praise and suggestions can be directed to either ARMS-D or ARMS-D-REQUEST. Moderator: LIN@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU ARPA-MHS@BRL The purpose of the ARPA-MHS list is to discuss gatewaying of ARPA RFC920 addresses with MHS X.400 addresses; it is quite diversified, with several representatives from BITNET, Mailnet, UUCP, ARPANET, and EAN. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to ARPA-MHS-REQUEST@BRL. Coordinator: Einar Stefferud <ESTEFFERUD@USC-ECL> ARPANET-BBOARDS@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU Redistribution address for all known BBoards on the ARPANET. The guidelines for postings are somewhat loose. The ostensible purpose of the list is to distribute: (a) emergency notices ("Southern California just slid into the Pacific, machines at ISI and UCSD will be down for a few days"), and (b) notices of "academic interest", such as seminar and symposium announcements. Advertisements and for-profit notices are not appropriate (the DoD would get upset, among other considerations). A touchy borderline case is job offerings. The practice has been to accept postings from universities (the research community) and the research oriented military installations (the people paying for our hardware) but to refuse postings from private companies. The (shaky) rational behind this is that university and military job offerings are "research opportunities" as opposed to for-profit advertisements (ie, joining the army or a university is not the way to get rich). Anyone is welcome to redistribute Arpanet-BBoards; it takes some of the (considerable) load off of MC's mailer. But please don't do it without sending a message to the -Request address first. There are Archive copies of every message ever sent to the list but no guarantee is made that they will be online or available at any particular time. The current archive file, such as it is, can be found as "COMAIL;BBOARD ARCHIV" on MC.LCS.MIT.EDU. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to ARPANET-BBOARDS-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU.

Here's how it all works: DEAD-HEADS@AI.AI.MIT.EDU -- Use this list for songlists and concert reviews, and for hotline info. LOCAL-DEAD-HEADS@AI.AI.MIT.EDU -- These are the east-coast and LOCAL-DEAD-HEADS@SRI-AI.ARPA -- west-coast parts of DEAD-HEADS. If you have a message which you think will only be of interest to people on one half of the country, (say, you have extra room in your car for a ride to a show) send it here. Also good for this list are messages announcing Jerry Band or other "sub-band" shows. DEAD-FLAMES@AI.AI.MIT.EDU -- This includes all messages sent to any of net.music.gdead -- the lists above, plus anything anyone sends (or posts, in the case of net.music.gdead) directly, which can be anything to do with the Grateful Dead.

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

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

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

What follows is part 1 (of 3) of the Arpanet List of Lists. This list is maintained by Rich Zellich and corresponds to the List of Active Newsgroups which I maintain on the Usenet. Many of the groups listed herein are gatewayed into Usenet newsgroups. Note that uucp-only sites are usually not able to receive these lists except through gatewayed Usenet newsgroups. Parts 2 and 3 of the list are in companion articles.

Coordinator: Rick Conn <RCONN@SIMTEL20.ARPA> ADVISE-L%CANADA01.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU Unmoderated mailing list intended for discussion among students who work part-time at the various university computer centers. It is particularly intended for people who work as student advisors or consultants, although others are welcome. Another use of the list is to get help from others on problems that might be encountered, or to let everyone know about new things such as new file servers, so that everyone can put the network to the best possible use. Alternate paths/addresses: The list is served by 5 servers (ADVISE-L@UTORONTO, ADVISE-L@CANADA01, ADVISE-L@NCSUVM, ADVISE-L@UGA, and MD4F@CMUCCVMA) which are peer linked so that anything sent to one will be sent to the other two automatically. ADVISE-L@NCSUVM is probably the closest server to the WISCVM ARPANet gateway. To subscribe to the list: From a VM site on BITNET do: TELL LISTSERV at CANADA01 SUBSCRIBE ADVISE-L Your_Full_Name where Your_Full_Name is your real name (not your userid). From a VMS BITNET site use the SEND/REMOTE command. If you are at a site not on bitnet or where you cannot send interactive messages you can send a message to LISTSERV%CANADA01.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU where the first non-header line consists of: SUBSCRIBE ADVISE-L Your_Full_Name Please refer any questions to the Coordinator.

Mail to the list will be archived in some public place that will be announced at a later date. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Apollo-Request@YALE. Coordinator: Nathaniel Mishkin <Mishkin@YALE> ARMS-D@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU The ARMS-D digest is for various and sundry comments and questions on policy issues related to peace, war, national security, weapons, the arms race, and the like. Recent archives live in the file XX:<ARMS-D>ARCHIVE.CURRENT. MIT-XX supports the ANONYMOUS FTP login protocol: Connect to XX, login as ANONYMOUS, use the password GUEST, and transfer the file. All administrative requests (e.g., additions to the list) should go to ARMS-D-REQUEST@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU; complaints, praise and suggestions can be directed to either ARMS-D or ARMS-D-REQUEST. Moderator: LIN@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU ARPA-MHS@BRL The purpose of the ARPA-MHS list is to discuss gatewaying of ARPA RFC920 addresses with MHS X.400 addresses; it is quite diversified, with several representatives from BITNET, Mailnet, UUCP, ARPANET, and EAN. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to ARPA-MHS-REQUEST@BRL. Coordinator: Einar Stefferud <ESTEFFERUD@USC-ECL> ARPANET-BBOARDS@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU Redistribution address for all known BBoards on the ARPANET. The guidelines for postings are somewhat loose. The ostensible purpose of the list is to distribute: (a) emergency notices ("Southern California just slid into the Pacific, machines at ISI and UCSD will be down for a few days"), and (b) notices of "academic interest", such as seminar and symposium announcements. Advertisements and for-profit notices are not appropriate (the DoD would get upset, among other considerations). A touchy borderline case is job offerings. The practice has been to accept postings from universities (the research community) and the research oriented military installations (the people paying for our hardware) but to refuse postings from private companies. The (shaky) rational behind this is that university and military job offerings are "research opportunities" as opposed to for-profit advertisements (ie, joining the army or a university is not the way to get rich). Anyone is welcome to redistribute Arpanet-BBoards; it takes some of the (considerable) load off of MC's mailer. But please don't do it without sending a message to the -Request address first. There are Archive copies of every message ever sent to the list but no guarantee is made that they will be online or available at any particular time. The current archive file, such as it is, can be found as "COMAIL;BBOARD ARCHIV" on MC.LCS.MIT.EDU. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to ARPANET-BBOARDS-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU.

Here's how it all works: DEAD-HEADS@AI.AI.MIT.EDU -- Use this list for songlists and concert reviews, and for hotline info. LOCAL-DEAD-HEADS@AI.AI.MIT.EDU -- These are the east-coast and LOCAL-DEAD-HEADS@SRI-AI.ARPA -- west-coast parts of DEAD-HEADS. If you have a message which you think will only be of interest to people on one half of the country, (say, you have extra room in your car for a ride to a show) send it here. Also good for this list are messages announcing Jerry Band or other "sub-band" shows. DEAD-FLAMES@AI.AI.MIT.EDU -- This includes all messages sent to any of net.music.gdead -- the lists above, plus anything anyone sends (or posts, in the case of net.music.gdead) directly, which can be anything to do with the Grateful Dead. Requests to be added to or deleted from any of the mailing lists should be sent to the appropriate -REQUEST list (e.g. DEAD-FLAMES-REQUEST). Old messages to all of these lists are archived back through March '85. Also online is an updated version of Dave Wilkins' lyrics list, and all songlists sent to the network. Send mail to DEAD-FLAMES-REQUEST if you're interested.

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

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

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

What follows is part 1 (of 3) of the Arpanet List of Lists. This list is maintained by Rich Zellich and corresponds to the List of Active Newsgroups which I maintain on the Usenet. Many of the groups listed herein are gatewayed into Usenet newsgroups. Note that uucp-only sites are usually not able to receive these lists except through gatewayed Usenet newsgroups. Parts 2 and 3 of the list are in companion articles.

Coordinator: Rick Conn <RCONN@SIMTEL20.ARPA> ADVISE-L%CANADA01.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU Unmoderated mailing list intended for discussion among students who work part-time at the various university computer centers. It is particularly intended for people who work as student advisors or consultants, although others are welcome. Another use of the list is to get help from others on problems that might be encountered, or to let everyone know about new things such as new file servers, so that everyone can put the network to the best possible use. Alternate paths/addresses: The list is served by 5 servers (ADVISE-L@UTORONTO, ADVISE-L@CANADA01, ADVISE-L@NCSUVM, ADVISE-L@UGA, and MD4F@CMUCCVMA) which are peer linked so that anything sent to one will be sent to the other two automatically. ADVISE-L@NCSUVM is probably the closest server to the WISCVM ARPANet gateway. To subscribe to the list: From a VM site on BITNET do: TELL LISTSERV at CANADA01 SUBSCRIBE ADVISE-L Your_Full_Name where Your_Full_Name is your real name (not your userid). From a VMS BITNET site use the SEND/REMOTE command. If you are at a site not on bitnet or where you cannot send interactive messages you can send a message to LISTSERV%CANADA01.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU where the first non-header line consists of: SUBSCRIBE ADVISE-L Your_Full_Name Please refer any questions to the Coordinator.

At least initially, the list will not be moderated or digested; if the volume is sufficient, this may change. Mail to the list will be archived in some public place that will be announced at a later date. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Apollo-Request@YALE. Coordinator: Nathaniel Mishkin <Mishkin@YALE> ARMS-D@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU The ARMS-D digest is for various and sundry comments and questions on policy issues related to peace, war, national security, weapons, the arms race, and the like. Recent archives live in the file XX:<ARMS-D>ARCHIVE.CURRENT. MIT-XX supports the ANONYMOUS FTP login protocol: Connect to XX, login as ANONYMOUS, use the password GUEST, and transfer the file. All administrative requests (e.g., additions to the list) should go to ARMS-D-REQUEST@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU; complaints, praise and suggestions can be directed to either ARMS-D or ARMS-D-REQUEST. Moderator: LIN@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU ARPA-MHS@NRTC.ARPA The purpose of the ARPA-MHS list is to discuss gatewaying of ARPA RFC920 addresses with MHS X.400 addresses; it is quite diversified, with several representatives from BITNET, Mailnet, UUCP, ARPANET, and EAN. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to ARPA-MHS-REQUEST@NRTC.ARPA. Coordinator: Einar Stefferud <stef@NRTC-GREMLIN.ARPA> ARPANET-BBOARDS@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU Redistribution address for all known BBoards on the ARPANET. The guidelines for postings are somewhat loose. The ostensible purpose of the list is to distribute: (a) emergency notices ("Southern California just slid into the Pacific, machines at ISI and UCSD will be down for a few days"), and (b) notices of "academic interest", such as seminar and symposium announcements. Advertisements and for-profit notices are not appropriate (the DoD would get upset, among other considerations). A touchy borderline case is job offerings. The practice has been to accept postings from universities (the research community) and the research oriented military installations (the people paying for our hardware) but to refuse postings from private companies. The (shaky) rational behind this is that university and military job offerings are "research opportunities" as opposed to for-profit advertisements (ie, joining the army or a university is not the way to get rich). Anyone is welcome to redistribute Arpanet-BBoards; it takes some of the (considerable) load off of MC's mailer. But please don't do it without sending a message to the -Request address first. There are Archive copies of every message ever sent to the list but no guarantee is made that they will be online or available at any particular time. The current archive file, such as it is, can be found as "COMAIL;BBOARD ARCHIV" on MC.LCS.MIT.EDU. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to ARPANET-BBOARDS-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU. There is a BitNet LISTSERVer: ARPABBS on LISTSERV@RUTVM1. Any problems concerning the BitNet side of things should be sent to NetMgr%UMass.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU.

Here's how it all works: DEAD-HEADS@AI.AI.MIT.EDU -- Use this list for songlists and concert reviews, and for hotline info. LOCAL-DEAD-HEADS@AI.AI.MIT.EDU -- These are the east-coast and LOCAL-DEAD-HEADS@SRI-AI.ARPA -- west-coast parts of DEAD-HEADS. If you have a message which you think will only be of interest to people on one half of the country, (say, you have extra room in your car for a ride to a show) send it here. Also good for this list are messages announcing Jerry Band or other "sub-band" shows. DEAD-FLAMES@AI.AI.MIT.EDU -- This includes all messages sent to any of net.music.gdead -- the lists above, plus anything anyone sends (or posts, in the case of net.music.gdead) directly, which can be anything to do with the Grateful Dead. Requests to be added to or deleted from any of the mailing lists should be sent to the appropriate -REQUEST list (e.g. DEAD-FLAMES-REQUEST). Old messages to all of these lists are archived back through March '85. Also online is an updated version of Dave Wilkins' lyrics list, and all songlists sent to the network. Send mail to DEAD-FLAMES-REQUEST if you're interested.

Almost all kinds of contributions are welcome, especially: Abstracts Illuminating comments Open problems Historical remarks News items Reviews Announcements of meetings Conference reports Address changes Bibliographies Examples Work planned or in progress Questions Anecdotes, jokes, puzzles. The list will be maintained by a list-server facility called NEWSERV, which acts as a userid at the BitNet node UNCVM1. To be added to or deleted from this list, see the following directions, or send a message to one of the Coordinators. BitNet users can use the ADD command to add their name to a list: For users at remote IBM/VM sites the following format is used: TELL NEWSERV AT UNCVM1 ADD DYNSYS-L username At UTSO use the VMSG command send to userid NEWSERV, node UNCVM1, and a message of ADD DYNSYS-L username. VAX/VMS sites running jnet version 2 use the ADD command like this: SEND NEWSERV@UNCVM1 ADD DYNSYS-L username BitNet users with other environments can contact their local user services group for assistance. Users without interactive messaging capability,or non-BitNet users can send a request to ULTIMA@UNCVM1 or to one of the list Coordinators to have their names added to the list. The DROP command is used to remove a name from a list: For remote IBM/VM sites, the DROP command is used like this: TELL NEWSERV AT UNCVM1 DROP DYNSYS-L At UTSO use the VMSG command send to userid NEWSERV, node UNCVM1, and a message of DROP DYNSYS-L. VAX/VMS sites with jnet version 2 can use this command: SEND NEWSERV@UNCVM1 DROP DYNSYS-L Coordinators: Karl Petersen <UNCKEP%UNC.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU> Doug Lind <lind@ENTROPY.MS.WASHINGTON.EDU> EDITOR-PEOPLE@SU-SCORE (ARPANET) ucbvax!editor-people (USENET) Discussion of topics related to computerized text editing, display editors, and human factors in man/machine interaction.

Of course, discussion *in* Esperanto is especially encouraged, although English translations may be advisable when the material is of interest to beginners or non-Esperantists. This list is identical to the USENET mailing list `mail.esperanto'. The forwarding addresses were installed on LLL-CRG by Andy Beals; ESPERANTO forwards to the "real" mail.esperanto address trwrb!trwspp!spp2!esperanto and ESPERANTO-REQUEST forwards to the Coordinator (trwrb!trwspp!spp2!urban).

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

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