The focus-l mailing list has been moved to focus-l@ysub[.bitnet,.ysu.edu].
This mailing list is for the Focus report writer package.

The list-owner, Cindy Fammartino (tacon040@ysub) has requested that it be
gatewayed into bit.listserv.focus-l.

The gateway site would be via news.ysu.edu.

There are presently about 400 subscribers on FOCUS-L, nearly half of
which are "concealed".  This is a rather small number to justify gating
a mailing list into Usenet.  But more importantly, those traffic log
files that are present on the FOCUS-L archive are very small, never
exceeding a few hundred lines per *month*.  This appears to be a very
low traffic (and fairly low interest) mailing list, and thus does not
require or warrant a gateway to Usenet at this time.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'm just doing what I was requested to do.

We just "got" the list, it was moved here from Arizona State U.  I'll forward
this response to the people requesting it.
