NeWS-makers-REQUEST@BRILLIG.UMD.EDU (04/23/87)
This is to announce the existence of the comp.windows.news USENET newsgroup, to which the Internet mailing list NeWS-makers will be gatewayed. NeWS-makers, and comp.windows.news, are about the "Network extensible Window System," a programmable, multitasking, PostScript based window system development platform, developed by James Gosling, Dave Rosenthal, and others at Sun Microsystems. Those currently on the NeWS-makers mailing list, who can read the USENET newsgroup comp.windows.news, should send requests for removal from the Internet distribution to: NeWS-makers-REQUEST@brillig.umd.edu or: ...!seismo!mimsy@NeWS-makers-REQUEST Please *don't* broadcast such requests to comp.windows.news or the whole NeWS-makers mailing list, or it's likely your mailbox will be infested with a barrage of rambling flames, dunning notices, and old lightbulb jokes. (Don't blame me! That's what happens!) If you are in charge of a local NeWS-makers redistribution list that can be replaced by the USENET newsgroup, please ask those on the redistribution list if they would switch over, and tell me so, at the above REQUEST address. Thanks a lot for the cooperation. -Don (NeWS-makers-REQUEST@brillig.umd.edu)
