[bionet.users.addresses] Everything you wanted to know about LISTS but were afraid to ask.

       I often  get requests from people asking about other lists, and
       their interests range from medical, environmental, to  ecologi-
       cal. About a couple of months ago I put wrote a note about what
       other types  of  lists are available on LISTSERV... if that was
       not enough then here is some information  that  will  tell  you
       everything you  ever wanted to know about lists but were afraid
       to ask...

       ******************** CLIP from NETMONTH ********************
       
       * List-of-Lists now available in BITNET:

       The popular Interest Groups (List-of-Lists) file now has a home
       in BITNET.    This file provides  a list of  various discussion
       lists  available  to  network  electronic  mail  users.    This
       includes not  only LISTSERV  lists,  but  lists originating  in
       other networks, as well.

       If you wish to obtain the  entire Interest Groups file send the
       command  GET  INTEREST  PACKAGE  LISTSERV@NDSUVM1.    You  will
       receive  about a  dozen  files including  the  segments of  the
       Interest Groups  list and a file  listing the current  files in
       the "INTEREST PACKAGE".

       To submit new descriptions of mailing lists, to update existing
       information, or to delete old mailing list information from the
       List-of-Lists send mail to interest-groups-request@nisc.sri.com
       and NEW-LIST@NDSUVM1.
