Dear BIOSCI readers:
After our recent usage survey, the BIOSCI managers decided to do a bit
of pruning of inactive newsgroups. The following changes will go into
effect on 31 October 1990 (Halloween 8-):
The following newsgroups will be closed due to lack of use:
BIO-CONVERSION
RESEARCH-NEWS
BIOTECH
PIR
SWISS-PROT
The last two newsgroups (PIR and SWISS-PROT) will have their mailing
addresses redirected to the PROTEIN-ANALYSIS newsgroup in the event
that these older addressed are used by anyone. The staff at both the
PIR and SWISS-PROT data banks have agreed to this change. BIOSCI
users will still be able to post messages about these data banks to
the PROTEIN-ANALYSIS newsgroup.
If you have been a subscriber to either SWISS-PROT or PIR, but not to
PROTEIN-ANALYSIS, we urge you to request a subscription to the latter
newsgroup by sending your request to one of the following addresses
(NOT to this newsgroup, please!) depending upon your location:
Address Location Network

biosci@irlearn.ucd.ie Ireland EARN/BITNET
biosci@uk.ac.daresbury U.K. JANET
biosci@bmc.uu.se Sweden Internet
biosci@genbank.bio.net U.S.A. Internet/BITNET
