  The following is a list of currently active USENET newsgroups as of
! 3 May 1987.  There are two basic subcategories of netwide 
! newsgroups:  "world" and  "mod"; the "mod" groups are currently being
! phased out.  The "world" groups are divided into seven broad
! classifications:  "news", "soc", "talk", "misc", "sci", "comp" and
! "rec".  Each of these classifications is organized into groups and
! subgroups according to topic.
