From ncr-sd!hp-sdd!ucsdhub!ucsd!ames!mailrus!purdue!spaf Thu Jul 28 15:43:19 PDT 1988 Original-from: chuq@sun.COM (Chuq Von Rospach) [Most recent change: 26 July 1988 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] This is a list of mailing lists available primarily on the UUCP network. A mailing list is different from a newsgroup because you do not receive anything unless you specifically request it. To be added to a mailing list, please mail a note to the contact for that list, listed below. Some of the lists mentioned may be available as limited-distribution newsgroups. Contact the administrator for exact details. Please note the following caveats: publication of a list here does not guarantee that you will be allowed to join as a member. That is up to the moderator and readers, and they have the right to restrict access to their list as they see fit. Mailing lists use MUCH less system overhead on a world-wide basis but do tend to increase loading on the moderators' machines so the number of people that can be added to a list may be limited by machine resources as well. If you have a list that you want added to this posting or are interested in starting a list but don't know how, drop me a note at spaf@purdue.edu Groups listed in this posting 12step folk-dancing posix-ada 386users gnu-manual pro-video adndlist handicap quickeys-users alternates hang-gliding rc-flying amiga-forth horse sappho anime info-386ix sca argproc info-3b2 scribe att-pc+ info-encore security auto-sports info-futures SF-Writers big-DB info-gnu silicon-compilers british-cars info-high-audio supercomputers cavers info-tahoe sysops christian interleaf tandy4k cisco isi tartan-c climbing jazz transputer clu jewish traveller CoCo kites ucsd-empire compress lang-lucid Unisys comp-visualization lasnet unix-pc-net CTIX-users martial-arts VMEbus desktop medphys whitewater drwho-spoilers men wildnet EMS mtxinu-users worldcup entrepreneur mustangs x-ada esperanto new-music Yiddish feminists NFS z-cars ferrets ocean.policy zilog fire ODA firearms OtherRealms Specific Information on Groups 12step Contact {decvax,att,ucbvax,sdcrdcf}!trwrb!suhre (Maurice Suhre) Purpose: To discuss/share experiences about 12 step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Alanon, ACA, etc. Questions will also be answered. 386users Contact: 386users-request@udel.edu (William Davidsen, Jr.) Purpose: Topics are 80386 based computers, and all hardware and software which is either 386 specific or which has special interest on the 386. adndlist Contact: ...!{mandrill,att}!musky2!arequest Purpose: This list is for Advanced Dungeons and Dragons gamers to discuss their ideas and creations for the game.
