Andre - Here is a 144kb listing of all the interest groups. Your
guess about isib and b.isi is correct. The new domain naming convention
is the b.isi. The difference between info-ibmpc and info-ibmpc-request
is that request is the address used to get on the list. Your return
address of UZ32112%BLIULG12.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU is correct.
All I can suggest is that you can try sending a request to the request
address and ask for confirmation of your request to be added to the
list.
I'll send the two most recent info-ibmpc digests as separate notes.

than
creationists have in the past, we have no agreement to limit
discussion of
contraversal topics. The coordinator assumes no responsibility for
opinions
expressed in the group or for misuse.

HUMAN-NETS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Mailing list originally consisting of the combined memberships of
INFO-PCNET, HOME-SAT, and TELETEXT mailing lists. Human-Nets has
discussed
many topics, all of them related in some way to the theme of a
world-wide
computer and telecommunications network usually called WorldNet. The
topics
have ranged very widely, from something like tutorials, to state of
the art
discussions, to rampant speculation about technology and its impact.
The
list is extremely large, making it necessary to batch messages sent
to the
list and distributing them once each day during off peak periods to
avoid
overloading the system.
The permanent archives contain all of the material distributed to the
list.
Due to size, this archive is broken down into several different
files,
stored in reverse temporal order. The files are currently stored on
ARPANet
host RU-BLUE in files RHYTHM:<PLEASANT.HUMAN-NETS>HUMNET.* (where "*"
is a
wild-card).
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems,

INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108,
1132,
1185, 1186) and protocols. Their purpose is to stimulate
communication and
sharing between computer science research groups that are using or
are
interested in these machines.
Info-1100 is the "information channel" where messages such as
announcements
of available lispusers packages may be made or for queries such as
"Does
anybody know of a PUP file server implementation for the Sinclair
ZX-80?".
It is intended to be a low-volume list suitable for the casual
reader.
Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where readers can warn others of
Interlisp-D
bugs and/or suggest workarounds or solicit help or discussion; it is
expected to have greater volume than Info-1100, being for the
hard-core
user. Since hard-core users read both lists, Bug-1100 is a subset of
Info-1100 and there is never a need to send to both lists.
Xerox PARC, SIS, and AIS people are included in the distribution list
to
facilitate communication about new developments, bugs, performance
issues,
etc.. Additionally, Info-1100 and Bug-1100 are automatically
forwarded to
AISupport.pasa@Xerox, where bugs are noted and acted upon if
appropriate.
Xerox AIS employees will not respond in Bug-1100 unless the reply is
of
general interest or silence would mislead the readership.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT <BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
Some net-contributed lispusers packages, updates, and patches are
kept on
SUMEX-AIM in files:
<LISPUSERS.INTERMEZZO> <LISPUSERS.KOTO> etc.
Requests to be added to or deleted from these lists, problems,
questions,
etc. should be sent to Info-1100-Request@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU or

INFO-FUTURES%BU-CS@CSNet-Relay.ARPA
INFO-FUTURES@BU-CS (CSNET)
...harvard!bu-cs!info-futures (UUCP)
Digest to provide a speculative forum for analyzing current and
likely
events in technology as they will affect our near future in computing
and
related areas. In broad terms, topics of interest include
developments in
both computing research and industry which are likely to affect our
decision
making, particularly decisions we are probably grappling with right
this
minute. Technologies can change so rapidly that simply forecasting
for
needs within any organization one or two years in advance can be
extremely
difficult, frequently we are forced to provide foundations that
effectively
lock us into a technology for longer periods of time. It is hoped the
information this list provides can help both the practitioner and
researcher
determine where best to expend resources.

INFO-IBMPC@USC-ISIB
Info-IBMPC is a forum for technical discussion of the IBM Personal
Computer
and compatible micro-computers, providing a way for interested
members of
the ARPANET community to compare notes, ask questions, and share
insights of
a technical nature about these machines. While it is not primarily a
consumer's guide to the IBM PC, the digest may also be useful for
that
purpose.
Messages are collected, edited into digests and distributed as the
volume of
mail dictates (generally twice a week). All messages of a technical
nature
about IBM PCs are welcomed; messages about other topics will not be
run. In
addition, two topics are taboo and are routinely edited out: (1) self
promotion of products for sale, and (2) anything about copy
protection.
Recent digests are archived on USC-ISIB in <INFO-IBMPC>DIGESTS-85.
Older
digests are archived by quarter in the following files:
Q1-DIGESTS-85 ; V4 # 1-40 [too big for mm, use hermes]

microcomputers.
Questions/discussions on a particular Operating System, such as CP/M,
should
be addressed to the specific list if one already exists (such as
INFO-CPM@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU (or @BRL) for this example).
Archives of recent correspondence are kept on SIMTEL20 in several
files:
"PS:<ARCHIVES.MICRO>MICRO.ARCHIV.ymmdd" is a group of files
containing
correspondence going back several years. The characters "ymmdd"
in the
file names are actually digits giving the year, month and day of
the last
message in each particular file.
"PS:<ARCHIVES.MICRO>MICRO-ARCHIV.TXT"
contains a growing archive of current correspondence.
Over 80 megabytes of public domain software (most of it CP/M) are
kept in
five program archives on SIMTEL20. For a description of these
archives,
request a copy of the "archive blurb" from INFO-CPM-REQUEST@AMSAA.
All
correspondence and program archives described here are available

INFO-MODULA-2@ROCHESTER.ARPA
A discussion list for the Modula-2 programming language. Modula-2 is
a
language by Niklaus Wirth which extends the Pascal foundation by
providing
an updated statement syntax (generalized LOOP, EXIT, RETURN, no
GOTO),
separate compilation with a module (compilation unit) broken into
specification and implementation parts with importing and exporting
of
objects, controlled machine level access, and concurrent programming
and
coroutines. Modula-2 has most of the power of Ada but is small
enough that
excellent full implementations exist for CP/M 80.
Mail archives are stored on SIMTEL20 in file:
<ARCHIVES.MODULA-2>MODULA-2-ARCHIV.TXT
They are available via ANONYMOUS FTP from SIMTEL20 for those with
TCP/IP

INFO-PCNET@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU
INFO-PCNET is a general mailing list to keep interested people
advised of
major developments.
PCNET is a volunteer effort creating a computer network for personal
use.
Although meant to be device independent, the current design is
oriented to
use through the telephone system, particularly by computers with
automatic
dialing and receipt of calls. PCNET will enable all computer users,
whether
part of a formal network organization or individual owners of
personal
computers, to communicate with each other effectively. PCNET is
defining
communication protocols that assure that transmissions are correct
(retransmitting data that is lost or erroneous), and which allow
multiple
logical data streams so that several programs can share a single
hardware
communication link. PCNET has defined a worldwide addressing
standard that
permits automatic forwarding of messages and files without having to
know
the topology of the network.
PCNET is currently finising software on several machines (8080, 6502,
PDP-10) using several languages (Assembly language, LISP, C), and
refining
the documentation; volunteer communications programmers are needed to
complete these tasks.
The PCNET files are on SIMTEL20 in directory PD:<PCNET>. SIMTEL20
supports
ANONYMOUS login within FTP them using any non-null password.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems,
questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-PCNET-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU.

BUG-TMODEM@SIMTEL20.ARPA
The INFO-TMODEM list is a means for the maintainer of the TMODEM
program to
send notices to users of TMODEM. Users of TMODEM send bug reports
and
feature requests to BUG-TMODEM@SIMTEL20.
TMODEM is a new TOPS-20 implementation of the Christensen Protocol,
with all
the latest features, such as:
o wildcard file transfers in the style of MODEM7
(YMODEM batch is coming)
o the YMODEM implementation of the K option with a new algorithm
to return to K mode after falling back to "normal" mode
o extensive built-in HELP for all commands and options.
TMODEM is an amalgamation of the old TOPS-20 MODEM program,
originally
written by Bill Westfield while he was at SRI and now at Stanford,
major
pieces of the TOPS-20 TELNET program, currently maintained by Mark
Crispin,
and some pieces of code stolen from TTLINK and KERMIT-20 by Frank da
Cruz at
Columbia University.
The archives for replaced mailing list INFO-MODEMXX are frozen in
<ARCHIVES.MODEMXX> on SIMTEL20. A new set of archives for
INFO-TMODEM is on
SIMTEL20 in <ARCHIVES.TMODEM>TMODEM-ARCHIV.TXT. The source for
TMODEM is in

For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS
login within FTP, with any password.
To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is
a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list
itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief
notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own
networks
(DECNet, Xerox, BitNet, MailNet, etc.) and can't reach the master by
ARPANET
FTP, the complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies
will not
normally be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or
add
new ones), send requests to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>
Love-Hounds@MIT-Eddie
This is a mailing list for the discussion of Kate Bush's music (and
any

Coordinator: Doug Alan <nessus@MIT-Eddie>
MAIL-MEN@ROCHESTER
Mail-men is a moderated discussion group about men's issues and is
open to
all sexes. The intent is to create an atmosphere of openess and
understanding for discussions about being male in today's world.

best sent elsewhere. Since men can't truely be free until women are,
feminism is generally viewed as a good thing on this list. This
mailing
list is digested as a kindness to various mail systems.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems,
questions,
etc., should be sent to MAIL-MEN-REQUEST@ROCHESTER.

music-research%prg.oxford.ac.uk@CS.UCL.AC.UK
The Music-Research electronic mail redistribution list was
established after
a suggestion made at a meeting in Oxford in July 1986, to provide an
effective and fast means of bringing together musicologists, music
analysts,
computer scientists, and others working on applications of computers
in
music research. Initially, the list was established for people whose
chief
interests concern computers and their applications to
- music representation systems
- information retrieval systems for musical scores
- music printing
- music analysis
- musicology and ethnomusicology
- tertiary music education
- databases of musical information
The following areas are not the principal concern of this list,
although
overlapping subjects may well be interesting:
- primary and secondary education
- sound generation techniques
- composition

NAMEDROPPERS@SRI-NIC.ARPA
The NAMEDROPPERS mailing list is to be used for discussion of the
concepts,
principles, design, and implementation of the domain style names.
The main
focus of this group is the review of documents describing domain
style
names. This is a list for participants in a discussion, not
observers.
Everyone on the list is expected to contribute from time to time.
Nearly everyone in NAMEDROPPERS is also on HEADER-PEOPLE and also on
MSGGROUP. There is no need to send a message to both NAMEDROPPERS
and
either of these lists (and certianly not both!).
All of the previous NAMEDROPPERS discussion can be found in SRI-NIC
files
<NAMSER>NAMEDROPPERS.198X
where X is the number of the year of the archive you are looking for.
A/O
Jan 85, there are archives for 1983, 1984 and 1985.
<NAMSER>NAMEDROPPERS.MAIL still contains the most current
NAMEDROPPERS
dialog. These files can be accessed via anonymous FTP; new members
may wish
to copy and read these archives before joining the discussion.

NL-KR@ROCHESTER.ARPA
NL-KR is open to discussion of any topic related to the natural
language
(both understanding and generation) and knowledge representation,
both as
subfields of AI. The Moderator's interests are primarily in:
Knowledge Representation Natural Language Understanding
Discourse Understanding Philosophy of Language
Plan Recognition Computational Linguistics
Contributions are also welcome on topics such as:
Cognitive Psychology (as related to NL/KR)
Human Perception (same)
Linguistics
Machine Translation
Computer and Information Science (as may be used to implement
various
Logic Programming (same) NL
systems)
Contributions may be anything from tutorials to speculation. In
particular,
the following are sought:
Abstracts Reviews
Lab Descriptions Research Overviews
Work Planned or in Progress Half-Baked Ideas
Conference Announcements Conference Reports
Bibliographies History of NL/KR
Puzzles and Unsolved Problems Anecdotes, Jokes, and Poems
Queries and Requests Address Changes (Bindings)
This list is in some sense a spin-off of the AIList, and as such, a
certain
amount of overlap is expected. The primary concentration of this list
should
be NL and KR, that is, natural language (be it understanding,
generation,
recognition, parsing, semantics, pragmatics, etc.) and how we should
represent knowledge (aquisition, access, completeness, etc. are all
valid
issues). Topics deemed to be outside the general scope of this list
will be
forwarded to AIList (or other more appropriate list) or rejected.
Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask
NL-KR-REQUEST
for recent back issues.

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS
POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly
after
the November 1980 election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact
that
electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion
continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and
began
to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost,
and the
nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions,
and their
spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion
list
was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has
begun to
consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon
presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less
dignity,
the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political
bull
session).
Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in:
<poli-sci>mail.txt
and other files in the <poli-sci> directory
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems,

PROLOG[-HACKERS]@SU-SCORE
Prolog and logic programming mailing lists.
Some of the people answering the initial BBoard message stated that
they
would be interested in general Prolog and logic programming
information, but
not in the nitty-gritty details of Prolog systems and their bugs.
Therefore,
two mailing lists have been set up, PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS: PROLOG
will
provide a digest of articles of general interest; PROLOG-HACKERS will
provide a direct mailing for the nasty stuff. Finally,
PROLOG-REQUEST
should be used for distribution requests. In a nutshell:
Mail to for
------- ---
PROLOG@SCORE sending articles of general interest
PROLOG-HACKERS@SCORE sending articles of limited interest
PROLOG-REQUEST@SCORE getting in and out of the mailing lists
and other bureaucracy
Please do not send the same message to PROLOG and PROLOG-HACKERS.
Messages
will be moved between lists if appropriate.
An archive of the USEnet prolog interest group interchange can be

information, news, and academic papers to those who sign up. An
initial
formal purpose of Psychnet is distribution of academic papers in
advance of
the 1986 APA convention; other purposes will develop according to the
needs
and interests of the profession and Psychnet users.
Outside BitNet, Psychnet is a Newsletter and mailing list only. Once
per
week, members receive the latest Psychnet Newsletter and Index of
files
available on the server machine. If a file looks interesting send an
E-mail
request to EPSYNET%UHUPVM1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU and the file will
be sent
to you.
Within BitNet, Psychnet is also a 24-hour server machine which mails
out
files to users who first send the PSYCHNET HELP command to userid
UH-INFO at
node UHUPVM1 (*NOT* to userid EPSYNET). Persons within BitNet may
also sign
up for the mailing list and will get the Newsletter and Index along
with
other news. BitNet users, however, should get their files directly
from the
server machine; an Exec file is available for CMS users and COM files
are
available for VAX users within BitNet.
To have a file or idea distributed to members of the list send it to
the
primary list address and it will be sent out, usually with the week's
Psychnet Newsletter.
All requests to be added to or deleted from the mailing list, or to
have
files distributed should be sent to
EPSYNET%UHUPVM1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU.

role
of Scribe Database Administrator at their installation. Discussion
will be
about Scribe features, bugs, enhancements, performance, support, and
other
topics of interest to Scribe DBAs. The list will NOT be moderated,

simply consist of a mail "reflector" - ie. if you send a message to
the
list, it will be rebroadcast to everyone on the list. Discussion at
the
level of "How do I get a paragraph to indent 5 spaces instead of 3?"
is
specifically discouraged.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems,

SECURITY@RUTGERS
This list is designed to provide a forum for discussion of the field
of
security in general, be it electronic, physical, or computer-related.
Since
the original idea was to name this list LOCKSMITHS, discussions about
physical security and hardware are welcomed, but to broaden out into
computer security and electronic access control and such is also
valid. In
other words, any subject matter relating to the *improvement* and
*implementation* of security systems is okay, while how to *defeat*
them is
not. Messages are not digestified, but are filtered to keep things
of
questionable legality/ content from escaping out to the network.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems,
questions,
etc., should be sent to SECURITY-REQUEST@RUTGERS.
Coordinator: *Hobbit* <AWalker@RUTGERS>

SF-CONS LIST
Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.
There is a master SF cons list (averaging 1000-1500 lines or
55,000-75,000
characters, including geographic cross-reference) on SRI-NIC in file:
<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, SRI-NIC supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login
within
FTP, with any password.
In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing
list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not
sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend
to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent
when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who
maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, BitNet,
MailNet,
etc.), the complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File
copies
will \not/ be sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.
Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately every 2nd or
3rd
month. Sources of cons for the list are LOCUS, ANALOG, STARLOG,
flyers
picked up at cons by local fen, and anything sent to the list
maintainer.
To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send
messages
to Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>.
SF-LOVERS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of
them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The
topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of books and films. The range of topics is
quite
wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other
topics of
interest in this general area.
The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages
are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the
hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS are batched and
broadcast
periodically.
The SF-LOVERS archives are available on RUTGERS. Each volume is
contained
in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The first
archive includes a number of messages from the early days before
digests and
there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that volume is
a long
discussion which took place during the Star Wars series craze.

For those unfamiliar with Tenex/Tops-20, the first number is the
number
of Tenex disk pages, the second is the number of characters in the
file,
for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 11 is the
current
volume A/O Jan 86. Old issues can also be found at RUTGERS and
are in
the files SF-LOVERS.xxx-yy where xxx is the month of publication
and yy
is the current year. The current month's messages may be found in

SMAuG^.X@Xerox.ARPA
Mailing list for communication of ideas about SMAuG (Simultaneous
Multiple
AdventUrer Game). SMAuG is an applied research project designed to
probe
the problems of distributing the work of a complex piece of software
across
local intelligent devices and a remote timesharing computer. The
software
being creating is an adventure game allowing multiple players.
Players may
be controlled by either human users or planning software. The
project is
potentially enormous and much paring of capabilities is expected.
The
primary goals of the project are:
Error free communication protocol
Simple control of local intelligent devices
Centralized database with local caching of unchanging data objects
Local processing of user commands (to offload central system)
An adventure game
This project is an offshoot of a locally funded research grant
examining the
interaction of local intelligent devices and remote timesharing
systems.
Since January 1, 1984 we have been sponsored by the Rutgers Center
for
Computer and Information Services. We hope to produce software
useful to
other members of the University computing community with this
project. Two
such pieces of software are a remote file access system, and a
universal
window oriented terminal handler.
The SMAuG group meets every Wednesday evening from 8pm until 10pm at
Rutgers
University in Hill Center room 318. Hill Center is located on Busch
Campus
in Piscataway, New Jersey. Requests for detailed directions should
be sent
to Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA. If you are coming any distance to attend a
meeting please contact Fischer.PA@XEROX.ARPA, sometimes the meetings
are
held elsewhere, and announcements of this are only distributed
locally in
the Rutgers area. Your attendance is, however, very welcome!
There is a separate mailing-list for SMAuG Storywriters:
SMAuG-Story^.X@Xerox.ARPA; archives for this list are available from
Fischer.PA@Xerox.ARPA.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, back issue
