In view of the growing use of UNIX in the High  Energy  Phy-
sics  community  (UNICOS  on  CRAY,  UNIX  on minisupers and
workstations) a HEP UNIX User Group, nicknamed  HEPNIX,  has
been established.  Possible tasks for HEPNIX:

-    The specification of enhancements to UNIX  to  make  it
     usable in a HEP production environment.

-    Contacts with standards organizations  like  POSIX,  X-
     OPEN, OSF.

-    Collaboration with other UNIX User Groups like EUUG.

-    Collaboration with the DD Division of  CERN  to  obtain
     versions  of  the  CERN program library for the various
     UNIX flavours.

-    Monitoring of developments like X-WINDOWS, NeWS.

-    Distribution of utilities and extensions to UNIX.

-    UNIX network and system management.

HEPNIX had its first meeting on April 3rd 1989 at  CERN.   A
next  meeting is scheduled for autumn of this year.  A list-
server has been set up as a medium for the exchange of infor-
mation.   One  can subscribe to this list by sending a
mail to LISTSERV@CERNVM.CERN.CH
