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.

   etc., should be sent to HEATH-PEOPLE-REQUEST@MIT-MC.

   Coordinator: Michael A. 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

   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.

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.

INFO-MAC@SUMEX-AIM

   Network interest group for the Apple Macintosh computer. The purpose of this
   list is to stimulate communication and sharing among individuals and groups 
   that are using or interested in the Macintosh, including those Universities 
   who are part of the Apple University Consortium, as well as any other 
   research groups and academic institutions.

   Distribution of INFO-MAC from SUMEX-AIM is limited to one mailbox per 
   Arpanet site, and one mailbox for other networks (such as USENET, CSNET, 
   BITNET, etc.).  Either local bboard posting or local redistribution of 
   INFO-MAC is highly encouraged.  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.

   The <INFO-MAC> directory at SUMEX contains various files relating to the 
   Macintosh and the INFO-MAC mailing list.  These include the archives for 
   INFO-MAC, a program library for public domain Macintosh programs, and other 
   files containing specific technical or useful information.  The current 
   files in <INFO-MAC> are:

      ARCHIVE.FEB               ;INFO-MAC archive for February
      ARCHIVE.MAR               ;INFO-MAC archive for March

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).

   Archive files may be on SIMTEL-20 in the <MICRO> directory.

INFO-MODEM7@SIMTEL20

   Discussion group for the CP/M MODEM7 Christensen protocol file transfer 
   program.  The group is concerned with development, upgrades and bug-fixes.  
   It is probably of no interest to most users of the program because as new 
   versions are released they are announced to INFO-CPM.

   The current INFO-MODEM7 archives, started with the move from MC to SIMTEL20,
   are kept in MICRO:<CPM.ARCHIVES>MODEM7-ARCHIV.TXT.  If and when the older 
   archives are located, that file will be placed in 
   MICRO:<CPM.ARCHIVES>INFO-MODEM7.ARCHIV.ymmdd.

   All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, 
   etc., should be sent to INFO-MODEM7-REQUEST@SIMTEL20.

   Coordinator:  Keith Petersen <KPETERSEN@SIMTEL20>

INFO-NETS%MIT-OZ@MIT-MC

   Mailing list to gather information on the bitnet, and other, networks.

   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 MTI-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@MIT-MC.

   Coordinator:  Robert L. Krawitz <ZZZ.RLK%MIT-OZ@MIT-MC>

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

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 SRI-KL in the files

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:

   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.

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:
      Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC>

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.

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).

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:

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 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@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.

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!

   problems, questions, etc., should be sent to McGrew.Smaug@RU-BLUE.

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).

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.
