Lines: 518 Approved: spaf@cs.purdue.EDU Supersedes: <7417@medusa.cs.purdue.edu> [Most recent change: 2 Sep 1989 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] The following is a list of currently active USENET newsgroups as of 3 September 1989. The groups distributed worldwide are divided into seven broad classifications: "news", "soc", "talk", "misc", "sci", "comp" and "rec". Each of these classifications is organized into groups and subgroups according to topic. "comp" Topics of interest to both computer professionals and hobbyists, including topics in computer science, software source, and information on hardware and software systems. "sci" Discussions intended as technical in nature and relating to the established sciences. "misc" Groups addressing themes not easily classified under any of the other headings or which incorporate themes from multiple categories. "soc" Groups primarily addressing social issues and socializing. "talk" Groups largely debate-oriented and tending to feature long discussions without resolution and without appreciable amounts of generally useful information. "news" Groups concerned with the news network and software themselves. "rec" Groups oriented towards hobbies and recreational activities. These "world" newsgroups are (usually) circulated around the entire USENET -- this implies world-wide distribution. Not all groups actually enjoy such wide distribution, however. The European Usenet and Eunet sites take only a selected subset of the more "technical" groups, and controversial "noise" groups are often not carried by many sites in the US and Canada (these groups are primarily under the "talk" and "soc" classifications). Many sites do not carry some or all of the comp.binaries groups. There are groups in other subcategories, but they are local: to institutions, to geographic regions, etc. and they are not listed here. Note that these distribution categories can be used to restrict the propagation of news articles. Currently, distributions include: world worldwide distribution (default) att limited to AT&T can limited to Canada eunet limited to European sites na limited to North America usa limited to the United States There may be other regional and local distribution categories available at your site. Most US states have distribution categories named after the two letter abbreviation for that state or category (e.g., "ga" for Georgia, "nj" for New Jersey). Please use an appropriate distribution category if your article is not likely to be of interest to USENET readers worldwide. Some groups are moderated or are monitored mailing lists. They can only be posted to by mailing submissions to the coordinator (provided in a companion posting). Some selected sites provide automatic remailing in support of 2.11 news -- posting to one of these groups automatically mails the article for the poster. Some of the moderated groups are gatewayed to USENET from the ARPA Internet and appear as newsgroups to facilitate distribution and posting from the Usenet. Other of the "world" groups are bidirectionally gatewayed with ARPA Internet mailing lists; items submitted from the ARPA side to the digest are split up and submitted to the USENET group, while articles submitted on the USENET side are bundled up and submitted to the mailing list. A complete list of moderated newsgroups, submission addresses and moderators is given in a companion posting. The following "world" groups have been gatewayed with the listed Arpa Internet lists. Some of them may not still be gatewayed due to broken software and/or gateways; such groups are marked with an asterisk ("*") in the list below. Please contact me if you should know of their current status. Also note that the group "comp.lang.forth" is gatewayed with the Bitnet discussion list "umforth@weizmann.bitnet", and rec.railroad is run from "railroad@queens.bitnet". Some of these lists are gated one-way into Usenet groups; those groups have been marked with a ">" symbol in the list below. If you are reading this article from a site not on the Usenet, you may subscribe to Arpa Internet lists by writing to the request address. You form such an address by putting "-request" before the "@" symbol, as in "unix-emacs-request@bbn.com". This gets your message directly to the list maintainer instead of broadcasting it to all the readers of the list. Also note that moderators of Usenet groups may not be in charge of the corresponding mailing list or gateway. For example, the moderator of comp.sources.unix does not have anything to do with the unix-sources mailing list; matters concerning the mailing list should be addressed to unix-sources-request@brl.arpa Usenet Group Arpa Internet list ------------ ---------------- comp.dcom.modems info-modems@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil comp.emacs unix-emacs@bbn.com >comp.emacs info-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu *comp.lang.ada info-ada@ajpo.sei.cmu.edu comp.lang.c info-c@brl.arpa >comp.lang.c++ info-g++@prep.ai.mit.edu comp.lang.modula2 info-m2@ucf1vm.bitnet *comp.lang.pascal info-pascal@brl.arpa *comp.lang.prolog prolog@score.stanford.edu comp.os.cpm info-cpm@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil comp.os.minix info-minix@udel.edu comp.protocols.kerberos kerberos@athena.mit.edu comp.protocols.nfs nfs@tmc.edu comp.sources.misc unix-sources@brl.arpa comp.sources.unix unix-sources@brl.arpa comp.sys.apple info-apple@brl.arpa comp.sys.atari.8bit info-atari8@score.stanford.edu comp.sys.atari.st info-atari16@score.stanford.edu comp.sys.misc info-micro@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil comp.sys.sun sun-spots@rice.edu comp.sys.tahoe info-tahoe@csd1.milw.wisc.edu comp.sys.xerox info-1100@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu *comp.terminals info-terms@mc.lcs.mit.edu >comp.text texhax@cs.washington.edu comp.unix.questions info-unix@brl.arpa comp.unix.wizards unix-wizards@brl.arpa comp.windows.x xpert@expo.lcs.mit.edu rec.arts.sf-lovers sf-lovers@rutgers.edu rec.equestrian horse@bbn.com rec.ham-radio info-hams@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil rec.ham-radio.packet packet-radio@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil rec.music.gdead dead-flames@ms.lcs.mit.edu rec.video videotech@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil *sci.astro sky-fans@xx.lcs.mit.edu sci.physics physics@unix.sri.com *sci.space space@angband.s1.gov *talk.origins evolution@kestrel.arpa Please notify me of any errors or changes to this article.
