Below is an excerpt from a private reply to J. Held to his questions posted to Future-L. If any of you want a copy of the non- technical file I mention, send me an informal request to one of my addresses below. { > ...and, is there any kind of... database or file or "booklet"} { > about networks that I can get over BitNet?} { > (Or even in the bookstore.)} {} {I'm sending you a copy of a file (aprox. 15,000 bytes) I wrote for } {colleagues in the U. of Oklahoma Philosophy Dept. (Via separate} {message.) Also, the most comprehensive reference of networks I know} {of is _User's Directory of Computer Networks_ by Tracy LaQuey. Send} {her an informal request for information on how to obtain a copy. The} {address is tracy@utadnx (Bitnet) or tracy@emx.utexas.edu. It IS } {possible to get it online, but the maps and charts don't come out} {well. Better to get a hardcopy by U.S. Snail. Tracy will tell you} {how to do so. No node manager, network rep or techrep, or amateur} {interested in the networks should be without it. } { Also, send the command SEND NETINFO FILELIST to } {listserv@bitnic for a catalog of various files on Bitnet, but not} {much on networks in general. } Rick Kirkham aa9927@uokmvsa (Bitnet) rkirkham@uokucsvx (Bitnet) rkirkham@aardvark.ucs.uoknor.edu
