                  *BIOCONVERSION now on the BIOSCI network*
                  *****************************************

    It  is  now  possible to  join  "BIOCONVERSION",  an  international
    bioconversion   teleconference/bulletin  board/newsgroup  which  is
    organized by a team of moderators.  "BIOCONVERSION" is intended  to
    facilitate information exchange on:

    * issues, needs, problems and experiences in research,  development
      and processes for the microbial conversion of bioresources.

    * planning of electronic activities on bioconversion.

    * energy/fuel, food, fodder, and fertilizers.

    People   that  have  access to BITNET and  who would  want  to  use
    LISTSERV  services,   can   subscribe  to  the  bulletin  board  at
    LISTSERV@IRLEARN.

    On  VAX/VMS  systems,  for  example,  you can  send  the  following
    message:
    $ send LISTSERV@IRLEARN subscribe BIO$CONV your-full-name

    On IBM/CMS system the corresponding command would be:
    TELL LISTSERV AT IRLEARN subscribe BIO$CONV your-full-name

    When  sending  Mail to "BIOCONVERSION" via IRLEARN to  the  BIOSCI
    network you should use the following addresses:
    Internet: bio-conv@irlearn.ucd.IE
    BITNET:   BIO-CONV@IRLEARN.BITNET (or only BIO-CONV@IRLEARN)

    Other addresses  which also receive  messages  for "BIOCONVERSION"
    and  redistribute  them  on the BIOSCI network  are  the  following
    (remember  that  only  one message to any  of  these  addresses  is
    sufficient for for the worldwide distribution):

    In addition, we are working to make "BIOCONVERSION" available in a
    number of other computer conferencing systems, for example the CoSy
    conferencing system  of the University of Guelph,  Guelph, Ontario,
    Canada,  the PeaceNet II  Notesfile  system  used  by  the  EcoNet/
    GreenNet conferencing network,  the English COM of QZ Universitets-
    Data AB (Stockholm), and the PortaCOMs of the Finnish universities.
    Hopefully this will be a broad enough base to stimulate interaction
    between the participants.

    Yours sincerely,
