Gene Spafford 24 January 1987 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- INFO-ATARI16@SU-SCORE 16-bit Atari family user's mailing list (also see INFO-ATARI8). There is a mirror between the ARPANET/DDN mailing list and Usenet news group comp.sys.atari.st. INFO-ATARI archives are in ATARI.* on host SU-SCORE. In addition to being the archives, they can be read as a bboard by Score users. ATARI.TXT gets pruned automatically (to ATARI.date) whenever it gets too large (over about 250 tops20 pages). The contents of the archives A/O Jan 86 are: PS: Bytes(SZ) ATARI.1981.1 62421(7) .1982A.1 289669(7) .1982B.1 524464(7) .1983.1 711452(7) .1984.1 598399(7) .1985.1 2480108(7) .APR-85.1 111435(7) .AUG-85.1 20427(7) .DEC-85.1 633738(7) .FEB-85.1 42303(7) .JAN-85.1 49069(7) .JUL-85.1 7481(7) .JUN-85.1 37291(7) .MAR-85.1 125669(7) .MAY-85.1 83566(7) .NOV-85.1 467815(7) .OCT-85.1 607148(7) .SEP-85.1 294156(7) .TXT.1 210296(7) All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-ATARI-REQUEST@SU-SCORE. Moderator: Marshall D. Abrams Co-Moderator: Bob Hott INFO-ATARI8@SU-SCORE 8-bit Atari family user's mailing list (also see INFO-ATARI16). There is a mirror between the ARPANET/DDN mailing list and Usenet news group comp.sys.atari.8bit. All INFO-ATARI archives are in ATARI.* on host SU-SCORE; see INFO-ATARI16 for details. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-ATARI-REQUEST@SU-SCORE. Moderator: Marshall D. Abrams Co-Moderator: Bob Hott INFO-BITGRAPH@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU Information/discussion list for the BB&N BitGraph terminal. Archive file is on MIT-MC at: DCP;INFO BITGRF Coordinator: David C.

Coordinator: Ron Natalie INFO-C@BRL INFO-C is gatewayed with the net.lang.c newsgroup on USENET. net.lang.c's purpose is to carry on discussion of C programming and the C programming language. Appropriate topics are: Queries on how to write something in C Queries about why some C code behaves the way it does Suggestions for C modifications or extensions C coding "tricks" Compiler bugs Availability of compilers etc. Recently-discussed topics include object-oriented extensions to C, availability of a public-domain cpp for beta testing, the EQUEL preprocessor, C compilers for the pdp11 (under RSX), IBM370 and PC, vagaries of typedef and sizeof, and some new changes to standard C (C++ from a researcher at Bell Labs, and ANSI committee X3J11). Plus the usual discussions about C programming style. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to info-c-request@BRL. Coordinator: Mark Plotnick INFO-CPM@AMSAA Information and discussion on both 8 and 16-bit versions of the CP/M microcomputer operating system. Archives of recent correspondence are kept on SIMTEL20 in several files: "PS:CPM.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:CPM-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 to Internet users via FTP with user-name ANONYMOUS. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-CPM-REQUEST@AMSAA. Coordinator: David E. Towson INFO-DEC-MICRO@SU-SCORE A forum for users to ask questions and share answers about various topics concerning DEC Microcomputers (ie Rainbow 100, MicroVax, Professional 350/380). All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Info-DEC-Micro-request@SU-SCORE. Coordinator: Andrew Gideon 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. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-FUTURES-REQUEST%BU-CS@CSNet-Relay.ARPA. Moderator: Barry Shein INFO-GRAPHICS@ADS.ARPA Discussion of Graphics hardware, software, and any topic related to graphics. Basically a free-wheeling exchange of information, much like INFO-CPM.

INFO-HAMS is gatewayed to/from Usenet's rec.ham-radio so Usenet people will get it there. All Arpa/Milnet requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-HAMS-REQUEST@SIMTEL20.ARPA. Coordinator: Keith Petersen INFO-HZ100@RADC-TOPS20 INFO-HZ100 is a forum for discussion concerning topics related to the Zenith Z-100 (Heath H-100) family of professional desktop computers. Messages are forwarded for immediate redistribution to the main list. Distribution is limited to one central mailbox per site. Periodically, useful knowledge and items generated from the list and other random sources will be edited into a newsletter for distribution to both network and non-network interested groups. Any comments, suggestions, help, knowledge, software, ideas, etc., would be greatly appreciated. A Public Domain library of H/Z-100 software, newsletters, and other related items is available by ANONYMOUS FTP in @USC-ISIB. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-HZ100-REQUEST@RADC-TOPS20. There is a BitNet sub-distribution list, INF-Z100@CLVM; BitNet subscribers can join by sending the SUB command with your name. For example, SEND LISTSERV@CLVM SUB INF-Z100 Jon Doe To be removed from the list, SEND LISTSERV@CLVM SIGNOFF. To make contributions to the list, BitNet subscribers should send mail to the ARPANet list name, NOT to the BITNET list name. Coordinator: Gern INFO-IBMPC@C.ISI.EDU 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-ISIC (C.ISI.EDU) in DIGESTS-85. Older digests are archived by quarter in the following files: Q1-DIGESTS-85 ; V4 # 1-40 [too big for mm, use hermes] Q4-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 91-119 Q3-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 70-90 Q2-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 36-69 Q1-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 1-35 Q4-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 71-104 Q3-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 40-70 Q2-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 20-39 Q1-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 1-19 Q34-DIGESTS-82 ; V1 # 1-34 These files can be read by MM, HERMES, and other TOPS20 mail systems. KWIC-INDEX.TXT contains a key-word-in-context index to digest articles. TOC.???85 contains a table of contents for the month ???. These files may be FTP'ed to any Arpanet/Milnet host from [USC-ISIC] by logging in within FTP using username ANONYMOUS, password GUEST. If you're not directly on the Arpanet the files can be mailed to you, although there is a limit to the length of a message. A library of free software is maintained in [USC-ISIC]. The list of available programs is in PROGRAM-LIBRARY.LIST. Donations of source code are eagerly welcomed (even trivial programs). Donated programs must be truly free, with no fee or contribution required or requested. To donate a program to the library, send a description of the program along with a copy of the source code to INFO-IBMPC-REQUEST. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-IBMPC-REQUEST@C.ISI.EDU.

Mail to uucp-support%okstate@CSNET-RELAY for further information. Selected sources (usually Unix-related) are posted to net.sources from time to time. CCNET: DECnet NFT from host CU20B. Anonymous NFT connections are not permitted from all hosts, so file transfers must be made by system managers or programmers who have access to CU20B. U.S. Mail: send requests for information to: Kermit Distribution Columbia University Center for Computing Activities 612 West 115 Street New York, NY 10025 Info-Kermit mail was direct up until May 23, 1984, when it became a digest. The pre-digest messages are in KER:MAIL.83A and KER:MAIL.84A. Volume 1 of the digest is in KER:MAIL.84B. The current, active digest is in KER:MAIL.TXT. From time to time, active digests will be retired to files with names like KER:MAIL.85A, KER:MAIL.85B, and so on. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-KERMIT-REQUEST@CU20B. If your host does not support long names in mail addesses, then just send to KERMIT@CU20B.

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:. 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.

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 on SIMTEL20. A new set of archives for INFO-TMODEM is on SIMTEL20 in TMODEM-ARCHIV.TXT. The source for TMODEM is in TOPS-20:TMODEM.MAC, and must be compiled for each individual TOPS-20 system environment. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-TMODEM-REQUEST@SIMTEL20.ARPA. Coordinator: Frank J. Wancho INFO-UNIX@BRL.ARPA INFO-UNIX is intended for Question/Answer discussion, where "novice" system administrators can pose questions. Also, much of the discussion of UNIX on small (micro) computers may be moved from INFO-MICRO, INFO-CPM, etc., into INFO-UNIX. Hopefully, enough people who know some answers will subscribe so that the list serves a purpose; some overlap is expected with the UNIX-WIZARDS list. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-UNIX-REQUEST@BRL.ARPA. Moderator: Mike Muuss INFO-V@SU-PESCADERO Interest group for the V distributed operating system (V-System), developed by the Distributed Systems Group of Stanford University. The purpose of this list is to stimulate communication and sharing among individuals and groups that are using or are interested in the V-System. Messages will be sent to the list as submitted; depending on the volume of mail, content, etc., messages may be collected and digested in the future. There is no current archive. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-V-REQUEST@SU-PESCADERO. Coordinator: Keith A. Lantz INFO-VAX@SRI-KL INFO-VAX is a discussion of the Digital Equipment Corporation VAX series of computers. Typically the material is question-and-answer, where someone wants information on some program or bug/feature. Both UNIX and VAX/VMS operating systems are discussed. Archived messages are kept at SRI-KL in the files INFO-VAX.ARCHIVE.1 INFO-VAX-ARCHIVE.TXT.1 All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to INFO-VAX-REQUEST@SRI-KL.

IRList vtisr1!irlistrq@SEISMO.CSS.GOV seismo!vtisr1!irlistrq (UUCP) fox@vpi (CSNET) foxea@vtvax3 or fox@vtcs1 (BITNET) IRList is open to discussion of any topic related to information retrieval. Certainly, any material relating to ACM SIGIR is of interest. The IR field has close ties to artificial intelligence, database management, information and library science, linguistics,... A partial list of topics suitable are: Information Management/Processing/Science/Technology AI Applications to IR Indexing Abstracting Information Display Citations Information Theory Cognitive Psychology Knowledge Representation Communications Networks Language Understanding Computational Linguistics Library Science Computer Science NL Processing Cybernetics Natural Languages Data Abstraction Pattern Recognition Document Representations Library Science Electronic Books Probabilistic Techniques Expert Systems for IR Speech Analysis Full-Text Retrieval Statistical Techniques Hardware aids for IR Contributions may be anything from tutorials to rampant 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 IR Queries and Requests Address Changes The only real boundaries to the discussion are defined by the topics of other mailing lists. Please do not send communications to both this list and AIList or the Prolog list, except in special cases. Please "sign" subscriptions with full name and address so that people can access you from Internet and/or BITNET (many other networks can be reached through them and are certainly urged to participate). There is no objection to distributing material that is destined for conference proceedings or any other publication. The Coordinator is involved in SIGIR Forum and, unless submittors request otherwise, may include submissions in whole or in part in future paper versions of the FORUM. Indeed, this is one form of solicitation for FORUM contributions! Both IRList and the FORUM are unrefereed, and opinions are always those of the author and not of any organization unless there are other indications. Copies of list items should credit the original author, not necessarily the IRList. Archival copies of all digests will be kept; feel free to ask IRList-Request for recent back issues. Note that FTP is not possible, so all communication must be by EMAIL, phone, or letter. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to vtisr1!irlistrq@SEISMO.CSS.GOV, seismo!vtisr1!irlistrq (UUCP), fox@vpi (CSNET), or foxea@vtvax3 or fox@vtcs1 (BITNET).

Coordinator: Richard Furuta LIST OF MAILING LISTS Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices. There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups (~180 lists/3900+ lines/180,000+ characters) on SRI-NIC in files: NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-1.TXT (first third of the list) NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-2.TXT (second third of the list) NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-3.TXT (last third of the list) 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 Love-Hounds@MIT-Eddie This is a mailing list for the discussion of Kate Bush's music (and any other artistic music or anything else for that matter). All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Love-Hounds-Request@MIT-Eddie. Coordinator: Doug Alan MAIL-MEN@ROCHESTER Mail-men is a moderated discussion group about men's issues and is open to all sexes.
