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 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: MICRO:<CPM.ARCHIVES>AMETHYST-ARCHIV.TXT (current archives) MICRO:<CPM.ARCHIVES>AMETHYST.ARCHIV.31013 (old archives) SIMTEL20 supports ANONYMOUS FTP (with any non-null password), and is currently up between 8:30am to 7:30pm Mountain Time, weekdays only. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to AMETHYST-USERS-REQUEST@SIMTEL20. Coordinator: Frank Wancho <FJW@MIT-MC> 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@MIT-MC Arms-D is a forum for technical discussion of specific weapon systems and the arms race in general. Messages are collected, edited into digests and distributed as the volume of mail dictates (usually twice a week). Old digests are archived in BALL; ARMSD ARC and BALL; ARMSD ARC2. ARMSD ARC2 has the most recent submissions. These files may be FTP'ed from MIT-MC (no login required). All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Arms-D-REQUEST@MIT-MC. Co-Moderators: John Larson <JLarson@PARC-MAXC> Dave Caulkins <Caulkins@USC-ECL> ARPANET-BBOARDS@MIT-MC Redistribution address for all known BBoards on the ARPANET. Due to past problems with messages deemed in bad taste by "the authorities", messages sent to this address are manually screened (generally, every couple of days) before being remailed to the BBoards. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to ARPANET-BBOARDS-REQUEST@MIT-MC. Coordinator: Glenn S. Burke <GSB@MIT-MC> Astronomy Events <koolish@BBN-UNIX> As mailing list for astronomical events and meeting announcements (mostly in the Boston area). Items to be sent to the list are sent to koolish@BBN-UNIX for forwarding. An attempt is being made to keep it from becoming full of trivial messages, but new readers and valid input are welcome. Coordinator: Dick Koolish <koolish@BBN-UNIX> AVIATION@MIT-AI Open to all interested in general commercial or military aviation. Archieves are kept on MIT-MC in files: USERS6;PS AVARCi i=0,1,2 (in chronological order) All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to AVIATION-REQUEST@MIT-AI or PS@MIT-MC. Coordinator: Pete Seissler <PS@MIT-MC> BANKING@MIT-ML The Banking List is an interest group to discuss the banking industry as it is and as it could be, especially including but not limited to the impact of computer technology. Topics of interest might include EFT security, technical details of existing and future systems, rate structures, policies, and regulatory climates. The archive is contained in MIT-ML file COMMON;BANK ARCHIV. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Banking-Request@MIT-ML. Coordinator: Neal Feinberg <Feinberg@MIT-OZ> CHESS@SRI-UNIX This newsgroup is shared with the UUCP-network. Contributions can be submitted by sending to CHESS@SRI-UNIX (and also the aliases CHESS@MIT-MC and CHESS@MIT-AI). All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to CHESS-REQUEST@SRI-UNIX (sending to CHESS-REQUEST on MC and AI forwards it correctly). Coordinator: mclure@SRI-UNIX CLUSTER@BRL Discussion of DARCOM Cluster Computers, and related issues. List membership is restricted to DARCOM employees and selected contractors. Coordinator: Foster Walker <FWalker@BRL> <FWalker@DARCOM-HQ> COMICS-LOVERS@SRI-NIC This list will attempt to cover all aspects of the comics, a subsection that has been sorely neglected by SF-LOVERS (No downplay on that list; it is merely that comics fans represent only a small faction on that list.) Initially, this list will be an immediate distribution list, although it may soon grow into a digest. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to COMICS-LOVERS-REQUEST@SRI-NIC. Coordinator: Henry W. Miller <Miller@SRI-NIC> CUBE-LOVERS@MIT-MC The Rubik's Cube mailing-list. Much of the information in the Scientific American article was presented in Cube-Lovers first; also many mathematical discussions have taken place as well as the development of a cube notation and various transformations used to solve it. Recently the discussion has moved towards puzzling in general. Messages are archived in the files MIT-MC:ALAN;CUBE MAIL(0 1 2 ...) with the most recent messages in MIT-MC:ALAN;CUBE MAIL All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to CUBE-LOVERS-REQUEST@MIT-MC. Coordinator: Alan Bawden <ALAN@MIT-MC> Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM Network user group for Xerox 1100 workstations (Dolphins). It's 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 Dolphins rather than on workstations in general. Xeros PARC and EOS 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. 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. Archive of messages is kept on SUMEX-AIM at <X-INFO>DOLPHIN-USERS.ARCHIVE All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Dolphin-Requests@SUMEX-AIM. Coordinator: Christopher Schmidt <CSCHMIDT@SUMEX-AIM> 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. An archive is on [SU-SCORE]PS:<ADMIN.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 <ADMIN.JQJ@SU-SCORE> ENERGY@MIT-MC Discussions on energy-related topics. Archives are kept in two sets of files on MIT-MC - MC:OAF;ENERGY ARC<001,002,003> contains the old material from the list, while newer material goes into the file MC:OAF;ENERGY RECENT. Coordinator: Oded Anoaf Feingold <OAF@MIT-MC> EXTENDED-ADDRESSING@SANDIA Discussion of any and all topics related to DEC-20 extended addressing. Membership is open to anyone. The archive is in the file DIST:EXTENDED-ADDRESSING.ARCHIVE@SANDIA. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to EXTENDED-ADDRESSING-REQUEST@SANDIA. Coordinator: Norm Samuelson <Samuelson@SANDIA> FORTH@SRI-CSL Discussion list for people interested in and/or using the FORTH language. The list is currently operating as a delayed distribution, non-digestified mailing list; once a day or so any accumulated messages are sent out (this may change in the future). Messages can be sent to the list by addressing them to FORTH@SRI-CSL or INFO-FORTH@SRI-CSL. An archive of messages is kept in the SRI-CSL file <BILLW>INFO-FORTH.TXT and also in MIT-MC file CPM;FORTH ARCHIV SRI-CSL supports the anonymous login convention, and no password is needed to transfer files from MIT-MC. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to FORTH-REQUEST@SRI-CSL or INFO-FORTH-REQUEST@SRI-CSL. Coordinator: William "Chops" Westfield <BillW@SRI-CSL> 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.

Coordinator: John Foderaro <JKF@BERKELEY> H19-PEOPLE@MIT-MC Discussion of the construction, use, and modification of H19 terminals as well as H88/H89 computers. The archives of old messages are kept on MIT-MC, in the files: CRD;H19 MAIL CRD;H19 MAIL1 CRD;H19 MAIL2 etc. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to H19-PEOPLE-REQUEST@MIT-MC. Coordinator: Michael A. Patton <MAP@MIT-AI> HEADER-PEOPLE@MIT-MC Interest specifically in the format of message headers and related issues such as inter-network mail formats/standards, etc. Header-People messages are filed on MIT-MC:KSC;HEADER MINS [and MINS01, MINS02, etc.]. The ones more than 3 years old have been "reaped" but could be retrieved if anyone wants to see them. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to HEADER-PEOPLE-REQUEST@MIT-MC. Coordinator: David A. Moon <MOON@MIT-MC> HOME-SAT@MIT-AI Interest in home earth satellite receivers, etc., as well as all aspects of video technology. All past transactions of HOME-SAT mail may be found by FTPing or typing the file on MIT-AI called: GEOFF;HOMSAT RECORD Coordinators: Geoff@SRI-CSL and Jonathan Alan Solomon <JSol@USC-ECLB> 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. [For further information, see the 110-line "Welcome to Human-Nets" message in OFFICE-3 public file <ALMSA>HUMAN-NETS-WELCOME.TXT] 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@MIT-MC 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 INFOA.LST[C410MS40] on CMU-10A. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-ADA-REQUEST@MIT-MC. Coordinator: Mark Sherman <Sherman@CMU-10A> INFO-APPLE@BRL-VGR (or @BRL) APPLE user's mailing list. Info-apple archives are available on Milnet host SIMTEL20. Archives up to 10 Oct 83 are stored in: MICRO:<CPM.ARCHIVES>APPLE.ARCHIV.31011. Archives from 11 Oct 83 are stored in: MICRO:<CPM.ARCHIVES>APPLE-ARCHIV.TXT. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-APPLE-REQUEST@BRL-VGR. Moderator: Howard Walter <hwalt@BRL-VGR> INFO-ATARI@SU-SCORE Atari user's mailing list. Archives are kept on SU-SCORE in file: MRC:<MRC>ATARI.TXT All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-ATARI-REQUEST@SU-SCORE. Coordinator: TANG@MIT-MC (or@MIT-OZ@MIT-MC) INFO-AUDIO@MIT-AI Audio design/construction discussion group. NOTE [8 MAY 83]: DUE TO LOSS OF MIT-AI, AND CONSEQUENT UNCERTAINTY OF THE LISTS FUTURE, INFO-AUDIO WILL BE DORMANT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-AUDIO-REQUEST@MIT-AI. Coordinator: Eliot <Elmo%Mit-OZ@Mit-MC> INFO-BITGRAPH@MIT-MC Information/discussion list for the BB&N BitGraph terminal. Archive file is at: MIT-MC:DCP;INFO BITGRF Coordinator: David C. Plummer <DCP@MIT-MC> INFO-CPM@MIT-MC Information and discussion on the CP/M microcomputer operating system. The archive of recent correspondence is on MIT-MC in the file: CPM;CPM ARCHIV All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-CPM-REQUEST@MIT-MC. Coordinator: Frank J. Wancho <FJW@MIT-MC> INFO-GRAPHICS@UTEXAS-20 Discussion of Graphics hardware, software, and any topic related to graphics. Basically a free-wheeling exchange of information, much like INFO-CPM. Archived messages are kept@SANDIA (\not/@UTEXAS-20) in file: DIST:INFO-GRAPHICS.ARCHIVE All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-GRAPHICS-REQUEST@UTEXAS-20. Coordinator: Steve Padgett <CC.Padgett@UTEXAS-20> INFO-IBMPC@USC-ISIB Info-IBMPC is a forum for discussion of the IBM Personal Computer and compatible micro-computers. Info-IBMPC provides a way for interested members of the ARPANET community to compare notes, ask questions, and share insights about these machines. Messages are collected into digests and distributed as the volume of mail dictates. Old digests are archived on USC-ISIB in: <INFO-IBMPC>DIGESTS-83 Q3-DIGESTS-83 Q2-DIGESTS-83 Q1-DIGESTS-83 Q34-DIGESTS-82 A library of free software is maintained on USC-ISIB in <INFO-IBMPC>; a list of available programs is in <INFO-IBMPC>PROGRAM-LIBRARY.LIST. These files may be FTP'd from ISIB by logging in to FTP with username ANONYMOUS, password GUEST. 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. Coordinators: Dick Gillmann <GILLMANN@USC-ISIB> Bill Brackenridge <BRACKENRIDGE@USC-ISIB> Randy Cole <COLE@USC-ISIB> 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. An archive of all the messages will be available in the file PS:<KERMIT>MAIL.TXT, available via anonymous FTP from COLUMBIA-20 (ARPANET) or anonymous NFT from CUCS20 (CCNET). All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-KERMIT-REQUEST@COLUMBIA-20. NOTE: From CCNET (A DECnet network comprising Columbia, CMU, and CWRU) or BITnet (a network based on IBM RSCS communication comprising many universities with IBM systems or VAXes), send mail to INFO-KERMIT or INFO-KERMIT-REQUEST host at CUCS20 instead of COLUMBIA-20. Any message sent to INFO-KERMIT from any host will reach all participants, no matter which network they're on. Coordinator: Frank da Cruz <cc.fdc@COLUMBIA-20> INFO-LAW@SRI-CSL Interest in computers and law. Mail gets distributed after first being manually screened. Process may involve returning to author for clarification and/or other sanitization. Archived messages are kept at: newest messages: [SRI-CSL]<INFO-LAW>ARCHIVE.TXT older messages: [SRI-CSL]<INFO-LAW>ARCHIVE.001 oldest messages: [SRI-CSL]<INFO-LAW>ARCHIVE.002 The first two are TWENEX mail files, and the last is an ITS mail file. Statements of editorial policy, file pointers, etc., are in: [SRI-CSL]<INFO-LAW>INFO-LAW.MSS All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-LAW-REQUEST@SRI-CSL. Coordinator: Geoffrey S. Goodfellow <Geoff@SRI-CSL> 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). The archive of recent correspondence is on MIT-MC in the file: CPM;MICRO ARCHIV The archives of old correspondence (in ITS mail format) are available from OFFICE-10 (1/93) in the <MICRO> directory. OFFICE-10 honors the ANONYMOUS Login convention; it is requested that you FTP during non-prime-time hours to help keep the load down. The format of the filenames is: <MICRO>MICRO.ARCHIV;ymmdd The date is the date of the last message in each file which is the first physical message, since the messages were prepended as they arrived. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-MICRO-REQUEST@BRL-VGR. Coordinators: Frank J. Wancho <wancho@BRL> Ron Natalie <ron@BRL-VGR> INFO-MODEMXX@SIMTEL20 For discussion of modems. Archives are kept on SIMTEL20 in files: MICRO:<CPM.ARCHIVES>MODEMXX-ARCHIV.TXT (current archives) MICRO:<CPM.ARCHIVES>MODEMXX.ARCHIV.31013 (old archives) SIMTEL20 supports ANONYMOUS FTP (with any non-null password), and is currently up between 8:30am to 7:30pm Mountain Time, weekdays only. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-MODEMXX-REQUEST@SIMTEL20. Coordinator: Frank J. Wancho <WANCHO@SIMTEL20> INFO-MUSIC@BRL-VGR For discussion of music, both performed and written, live and recorded. This is a mail reflector, which may change depending on quantity and quality of traffic. Articles from the USENET net.music will be forwarded to the list manually when appropriate. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Info-Music-Request@BRL-VGR. Coordinator: Ron Natalie (ron@BRL-VGR) INFO-PCNET@MIT-MC INFO-PCNET is a general mailing list to keep interested people advised of major developments. NOTE: Due to NCP-->TCP switchover and lack of working TCP software@MIT-MC (KLH is working hard at it and might get it done in time, in which case this note will be inoperative), this mailing list will probably cease to exist temporarily starting Jan 01. Because of lack of working TCP software@SU-AI and other places, even if MIT-MC has TCP working, many of the active PCNET workers will be inactive until these other places get TCP working. 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] David Harris is the organizational leader and is in charge of releasing documents to the public: David C. Harris <G.HARRIS@SU-SCORE> Palo Alto ABBS: (415) 493-7691 (300 baud - type a <CR>) Mailing-list maintainer: Robert Elton Maas <REM@MIT-MC> INFO-PRINTERS@MIT-MC Information on printers. Message log/archives are kept at: MIT-DMS:WJN;PRINTR MAIL PRINTR OMAIL PRINTR OMAIL1 PRINTR OMAIL2 etc... where the first one is most recent. The archives were only begun 17 Mar 82, so these files are fairly empty. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-PRINTERS-REQUEST@MIT-MC. Coordinator: Robert Elton Maas <REM@MIT-MC> INFO-RSTS@MIT-OZ Question/discussion forum for topics related to the RSTS/E operating system for the PDP-11. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-RSTS-REQUEST@MIT-OZ. Coordinator: Erik S. Townsend <TOWNSE@MIT-MC> INFO-TERMS@MIT-MC Information on terminals. Message log/archives are kept on MIT-MC at: COMMON;TERMS MAIL Current section of archives COMMON;TERMS O2MAIL Next most recent section... COMMON;TERMS O1MAIL ... COMMON;TERMS 1 ...oldest section All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-TERMS-REQUEST@MIT-MC. Coordinator: Jonathan Alan Solomon <JSol@MIT-OZ> 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> INFO-VAX@SRI-CSL INFO-VAX is a discussion of VAX-11/780's and 750's. Typically the material is question-and-answer, where someone wants information on some program or bug/feature. Both UNIX and VAX/VMS operating systems are discussed. Archived messages are kept at SANDIA in the files: DIST:INFO-VAX.ARCHIVE.1 DIST:INFO-VAX.ARCHIVE.2 All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-VAX-REQUEST@SRI-CSL. Coordinator: Geoff Goodfellow <Geoff@SRI-CSL> INFO-VLSI@SANDIA Mailing-list for the exchange of information on all aspects of integrated circuit (IC) design. Archived messages are kept at SANDIA in the file: DIST:INFO-VLSI.ARCHIVE All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-VLSI-REQUEST@SANDIA. Coordinator: Norm Samuelson <Samuelson@SANDIA> INFO-ZX@CMU-20C Discussion of subjects relating to the Timex/Sinclair 1000/ZX80/ZX81. This will be an immediate distribution list as long as the volume of traffic doesn't bother other CMUC users. Users may submit programs for others to share by FTPing them into [CMU-20C]PS:<ZX.PROG> using user anonymous. This will probably not be too useful until modems for the Sinclair are readily available. Messages will be archived on CMU-20C in file: PS:<ZX>ZX.MESSAGES All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-ZX-REQUEST@CMU-20C. Coordinator: Aaron Wohl <WOHL@CMU-20C> LASER-LOVERS@WASHINGTON This list is provided for discussion of topics related to design and use of laser printer hardware, software, and fonts. Appropriate topics for this list include discussions of new and upcoming laser printers, as well as those implemented in related technologies. In addition, information-sharing about experiences with existing laser printers is welcome. A topic of much recent interest on this list has been the issues surrounding the design of digital fonts for use on these devices. Archives are kept in WASHINGTON file PS:<MAILING-LISTS>LASER-LOVERS.ARC All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to LASER-LOVERS-REQUEST@WASHINGTON. Coordinator: Richard Furuta <Furuta@WASHINGTON> LIST-OF-LISTS Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices. There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups (~800 lines or ~29,000 characters) on OFFICE-3 in file: <ALMSA>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT For ARPANET users, OFFICE-3 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@OFFICE-3> LOCAL-NETS@MIT-MC Sharing experience with local networking projects between sites currently involved in or soon to attempt such projects; basically a very praxis-oriented discussion about networking -20's, VAXen, and -11's. Subjects include DECnet, Ethernet, Chaosnet as well as simple tty line links; both hardware and software aspects. NOTE: A/O 10 Feb 82, this list is fairly dead, though still open for business.

Coordinator: Andrew Knutsen <knutsen@SRI-UNIX> POLI-SCI@MIT-AI 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 at: MIT-AI:DUFFEY;_DATA_ POLISC All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to POLI-SCI-REQUEST@MIT-AI. 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. At the moment [26 May 83], everyone that replied to the initial bboard announcement is in the PROLOG list. Those wanting to be in PROLOG-HACKERS as well, should send in a request. 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 All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to ProtocolS-REQUEST@RUTGERS. Coordinator: Mel Pleasant <Pleasant@RUTGERS> RAILROAD@MIT-MC Information and discussion of transportation issues (inter and intra city) with emphasis on rail transportation. This group also discusses or announces items of interest to the so-called "railfan" community (I.e. excursion announcements, etc). Some model railroad discussion also takes place. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to RAILROAD-REQUEST@MIT-MC (ARPANET). Coordinators: Michael S. Maiten <MSM@MIT-MC> (ARPANET) !ucbvax!menlo70!sytek!msm (USENET) Chuck Weinstock <Weinstock%TARTAN@CMU-CS-C.ARPA> SCTV@SRI-UNIX (ARPANET) (or @MIT-AI or @MIT-MC) net.sctv (USENET) Mailing-list for SCTV fans.

Coordinator: John Mallery <JCMa@MIT-MC> SF-CONS-LIST Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices. There is a master SF cons list (averaging ~900 lines or ~40,000 characters, including geographic cross-reference) on OFFICE-3 in file: <ZELLICH>CONS.TXT For ARPANET users, OFFICE-3 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 once a month, generally shortly after the current LOCUS comes out. Besides LOCUS, other sources of cons are ANALOG, IA'sSFM, STARLOG, occasional flyers picked up@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@OFFICE-3> 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 complete SF-LOVERS archives are available on SRI-CSL. 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. <SFL>ARCHIVE.V1 860 2200759 <SFL>ARCHIVE.V2 771 1972324 <SFL>ARCHIVE.V3 741 1895294 <SFL>ARCHIVE.V4 705 1803432 <SFL>ARCHIVE.V5 323 824576 <SFL>ARCHIVE.V6 390 996707 <SFL>ARCHIVE.V7 ??? ?????? 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 7 is the current volume so it is being incremented daily as new digests come out. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to SF-LOVERS-REQUEST@RUTGERS.

Moderator: Mike Caplinger <mike@RICE> TCP-IP@MIT-AI (ARPANET) (or@BRL) !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>MAIL.TXT All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to TCP-IP-REQUEST@MIT-AI [or@BRL] (ARPANET) or !menlo70!hao!brl-bmd!tcp-ip-request (UUCP/USENET). Coordinator: Mike Muuss <mike@BRL> TCP-IP@SRI-NIC The NIC has taken over the responsibility for the periodic update of the TCP-IP status (the latest update can be obtained via FTP by ANONYMOUS login from SRI-NIC file <PROTOCOLS>TCP-IP-STATUS.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. This is an open membership list, and any interested party with a legitimate need can be added. A few words of warning: Please do not use this open forum to discuss matters which should be construed as to be for limited distribution; use private messages, if need be. 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. Also see mailing-lists TCP-IP-TOPS20, TCP-IP-UNIX, TCP-IP-VMS. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to TCP-IP-REQUEST@SRI-NIC.

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. Coordinator: Mark S.

Coordinator: Frederick S. Brundick <fsbrn@BRL-VOC> 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, etc., should be sent to INFO-PCNET-REQUEST@MIT-MC, David Harris is the organizational leader and is in charge of releasing documents to the public: David C.

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: Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC> [SRI-KL]<MICRO>MAILING-LIST.TXT.* Interest in microcomputers, micro languages, operating systems, etc. The focus of the mailing list is really on microprocessor development tools such as cross-assemblers and PROM downloaders, but includes the idea of libraries of useful microprocessor software.

Coordinator: Andrew Knutsen <knutsen@SRI-UNIX> 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.

Coordinator: John Mallery <JCMa@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 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 complete SF-LOVERS archives are available on SRI-CSL. 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. <SFL>ARCHIVE.V1 860 2200759 <SFL>ARCHIVE.V2 771 1972324 <SFL>ARCHIVE.V3 741 1895294 <SFL>ARCHIVE.V4 705 1803432 <SFL>ARCHIVE.V5 323 824576 <SFL>ARCHIVE.V6 390 996707 <SFL>ARCHIVE.V7 ??? ?????? 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 7 is the current volume so it is being incremented daily as new digests come out. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to SF-LOVERS-REQUEST@RUTGERS. Moderator: Saul Jaffe <JAFFE@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.

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.

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.
Coordinator: Christopher Schmidt <SCHMIDT@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.

Mailing list for people who want to coordinate making fixes to the Unix 4BSD
f77 compiler. The kind of subscribers desired on this list are hackers who
are willing to seriously spend a fair amount of time either processing bug
reports or testing proposed bug fixes. When someone on this list develops a
fix for a bug and it passes a certain amount of testing, it will go out on
4bsd-f77 and net.lang.f77. If a fix comes in on 4bsd-f77, it will be
forwarded to f77-fixers for testing before it goes out on 4bsd-f77.

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.

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-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

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@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
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,

RAILROAD@TARTAN
Information and discussion of transportation issues (inter and intra city)
with emphasis on rail transportation. This group also discusses or
announces items of interest to the so-called "railfan" community (I.e.
excursion announcements, etc). Some model railroad discussion also takes
place.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to RAILROAD-REQUEST@TARTAN (ARPANET).

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

.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.

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@BRL (ARPANET)
!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>MAIL.TXT
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to TCP-IP-REQUEST@BRL (ARPANET) or

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.
Also see mailing-lists TCP-IP-TOPS20, TCP-IP-UNIX, TCP-IP-VMS.
