I've noticed for some time that looking at other people's networks is a fun time - in fact, the network diagram is the best part of some papers at conferences. Therefore, I'm starting up a collection of network diagrams, a project I'm calling "You show me yours and I'll show me mine". It works like this; you send me any network maps you happen to have lying around, perhaps with explanatory notes about when they were made, I collect everything up, make it available in a package, and add whatever summary information I can glean out of it. In addition, I'll mark off things like "Scariest Network", "Most elaborate network map", and similar things - I'd call them awards, but I can't promise you'll get anything more than infamy out of it. I'd like PostScript; I can definitely cope with ASCII, FrameMaker, InterLeaf, pic, fig, gremlin, any format known to PBM+ (sun raster, X window dump, CMU window manager, group 3 FAX, GIF, GEM .img, MacPaint, MGR bitmap, PC paintbrush, PICT). I'm also willing to improvise; if nothing else, we can always arrange for hardcopy which I can scan in. Send your maps to: Internet: zwicky@erg.sri.com Phone: 415-859-3290 US Mail: Elizabeth D.

I seem to have been less than entirely clear. Sure, I like maps of large networks as well as the next person, but they're a dime a dozen. What I'm really interested in is maps of individual sites; the sort of thing that's your first overhead when you talk about a site, or that you use as a visual aid when people ask deeply disturbed questions about your network. I really don't care how precise or imprecise they are, and I'm willing to try to deal with whatever format you threw it together in the last time they asked you to talk to a group. (As someone kindly pointed out, I transposed one piece of my adress in my last posting. If you are a uucp site trying to reach me, my best guess is "uunet!erg.sri.com!zwicky" - sorry.) Elizabeth D.
