  This posting is to announce a new UUCP MAP coordinator for the Pacific
Northwest (PNW) region  which includes Alaska,  Idaho, Oregon,  Montana,
Washington, and Wyoming.

  These maps  have  not been  updated  since  October 1994,  so  I  have
volunteered to take this job in hopes of getting things back up to date.

  If you have  submitted a UUCP  Map update  in the last  two years  and
nothing has ever come of  it, now is the time  to make your changes.   I
will be updating the PNW UUCP maps  every two weeks or so, depending  on
the amount of change requests I received.

  If you need your site UUCP map updated, added or deleted, please  mail
updates to "uucpmap@rutgers.edu" (rutgers!uucpmap).   Also, if you  know
of any  sites, other  than  your own,  that  have since  disappeared  or
changed, please send in an update or send them a copy of this notice.

  I  am  also  including  the  "README"  file  from  the  comp.mail.maps
newsgroup for reference.


########################################################################
# The UUCP map is posted to the newsgroup comp.mail.maps.
#
# From [t]rn, the map can be easily unpacked with a command such as:
#
#	43-46w | (cd ~uucp/uumap ; sh)
#
# or you can use John Quarterman's script to automatically unpack the
# files.  All files intended as pathalias input being with "d." and
# "u.", thus:
#
#	pathalias Path.* uumap/[du].*
# is a useful command to run.  (You supply Path.* with local additions.)
#
# 
# The files are organized by country, using the ISO 3166 3 letter
# country code for each country.  Each file has a name like
# u.iso.r1.r2.s, where "iso" is the country code, r1, r2, etc are
# regions and subregions (e.g. states in the USA, provinces in Canada,
# etc.) and s is a sequence number (usually 1, but sometimes 2, 3, and
# up may be provided to keep individual files down to a reasonable size,
# thus, u.usa.tx is separated into four maps, u.usa.tx.[1-4].
# 
# The map contains two types of files: u.* and d.* files.  The d.* files
# are for special files. The u.* files are for all UUCP hosts.
# 
# All hosts are encouraged to obtain an official domain name and register
# it with the UUCP mapping project. For information on how to do this, write:
#
#	domain-request@uunet.uu.net
#	uunet!domain-request
# or, if you cannot send electronic mail, telephone
#	+1 703 204 8000
#
# We strongly encourage you to send email if at all possible, since it
# cuts down on telephone tag and is much more efficient on our volunteer
# workforce.
# 
# This map can be used to generate mail routes with the pathalias
# program.  The map is also useful to determine the person to contact
# when a problem arises, and to find someone for a new site to connect
# to.
#
# Pathalias was first posted to Usenet in January 1986.  It is posted
# whenever a new release becomes available as well.  The sources are
# posted in the comp.sources.unix newsgroup.  You may also ask the
# comp.sources.unix moderators (unix-sources-moderators@pa.dec.com) to
# send sources to you via email.
# 
# Please check the entry for your host (and any neighbors for whom you
# know the information and have the time) for correctness and
# completeness.  Please send corrections and additional information to
# uucpmap@academ.UUCP or academ!uucpmap or uucpmap@academ.com.

# 
# Please note that the purpose of this map is to allow mail routers
# within UUCP to work properly.  The eventual direction is to make the
# map smaller (through the use of domains), not larger.  As such, sites
# with lots of local machines connected together are *strongly*
# encouraged to join the UUCP Zone.  Through the use of a domain, you
# need only register your domain gateway system(s) with the UUCP Mapping
# Project.  Properly configured, all of your internal nodes will hide
# behind the gateway(s).  We would prefer not to have information
# listing the machines on your local area networks.  Helping us to
# accomplish the goal of reducing the size of the map will take some
# work on your part but it is well worth the effort.  Once done, you
# will never need to register any new nodes acquired by you.
# Instructions for contacting the UUCP Zone are given above.
#
# PLEASE NOTE - IF YOU HAVEN'T THE TIME OR MANPOWER TO ACQUIRE A DOMAIN
# AND CONVERT YOUR SYSTEMS OVER TO USING IT, you are *strongly*
# encouraged to publish all the names of those sites in your local area
# network which can and do generate email messages or netnews articles.
# Publishing the names of all systems not hiding behind a domain is the
# only way to ensure that some other site will not register with the
# same name that you have chosen and hence will ensure that mail routers
# will generate uucp mail paths to your systems properly.  
#
#
# The remainder of this file describes the format of the UUCP map data.
# It was written July 9, 1985 by Erik E. Fair <ucbvax!fair>, and last
# updated May 24, 1995 by Stan Barber <academ!sob>. 
#
# The entire map is intended to be processed by pathalias, a program
# that generates UUCP routes from this data.  All lines beginning in `#'
# are comment lines to pathalias, however the UUCP Mapping Project has 
# defined a set of these comment lines to have specific format so that a 
# complete database could be built.
#
# The generic form of these lines is
#
# #<field id letter><tab><field data>
#
# Each host has an entry in the following format.  The entry should
# begin with the #N line, end with a blank line after the pathalias
# data, and not contain any other blank lines, since there are ed, sed,
# and awk scripts that use expressions like /^#N $1/,/^$/ for the
# purpose of separating the map out into files, each containing one site
# entry.
#
# #N	UUCP name of site
# #S	manufacturer machine model; operating system & version
# #O	organization name
# #C	contact person's name
# #E	contact person's electronic mail address
# #T	contact person's telephone number
# #P	organization's address
# #L	latitude / longitude
# #R	remarks
# #U	netnews neighbors
# #W	who last edited the entry ; date edited

#
#
# Specific Field Descriptions
#
# #N	system name
#
# Your system's UUCP name should go here. Either the uname(1) command
# from System III or System V UNIX; or the uuname(1) command from
# Version 7 or BSD UNIX will tell you what UUCP is using for the local UUCP
# name.
#
# One of the goals of the UUCP Project is to keep duplicate UUCP host
# names from appearing because there exist mailers in the world which
# assume that the UUCP name space contains no duplicates (and attempts
# UUCP path optimization on that basis), and it's just plain confusing
# to have two different sites with the same name.
#
# At present, the most severe restriction on UUCP names is that the name
# must be unique somewhere in the first six characters, because of a
# poor software design decision made by AT&T for the System V release of
# UNIX.
# 
# This does not mean that your site name has to be six characters or
# less in length. Just unique within that length.
# 
# The UUCP Mapping Project does not accept hostnames that contain uppercase
# letters, or any punctuation other than dash or period. Periods may only be
# used if the site name is a fully qualified domain name in a domain 
# registered with InterNIC Registration Services for the Internet.
#
# Domains may be listed as well by putting a leading period. If you are
# listing both a domain and a uucp name, please put the uucpname FIRST in 
# the list and the domain last.
#
# With regard to choosing system names, HARRIS'S LAMENT:
#
#	``All the good ones are taken.''
#
# #S	machine type; operating system
# 
# This is a quick description of your equipment. Machine type should be
# manufacturer and model, and after a semi-colon(;), the operating
# system name and version number (if you have it). Some examples:
#
#	DEC PDP-11/70; 2.9 BSD UNIX
#	DEC PDP-11/45; ULTRIX-11
#	DEC VAX-11/780; VMS 4.0
#	SUN 2/150; 4.2 BSD UNIX
# 	Pyramid 90x; OSx 2.1
#	CoData 3300; Version 7 UniPlus+
#	Callan Unistar 200; System V UniPlus+
#	IBM PC/XT; Coherent
#	Intel 386; XENIX 3.0
#	CRDS Universe 68; UNOS
#
# #O	organization name
#
# This should be the full name of your organization, squeezed to fit
# inside 80 columns as necessary. Don't be afraid to abbreviate where
# the abbreviation would be clear to the entire world (say a famous
# institution like MIT or CERN), but beware of duplication (In USC the C
# could be either California or Carolina).
#
# #C	contact person
#
# This should be the full name (or names, separated by commas) of the
# person responsible for handling queries from the outside world about
# your machine.
#
# #E	contact person's electronic address
# 
# This should be just a machine name, and a user name, like
# `academ!sob'. It should not be a full path, since we will be able to
# generate a path to the given address from the data you're giving us.
# There is no problem with the machine name not being the same as the #N
# field (i.e. the contact `lives' on another machine at your site).
# 
# Also, it's a good idea to give a generic address or alias (if your
# mail system is capable of providing aliases) like `usenet' or
# `postmaster', so that if the contact person leaves the institution or
# is re-assigned to other duties, he doesn't keep getting mail about the
# system. In a perfect world, people would send notice to the UUCP Mapping
# Project, but in practice, they don't, so the data does get out of
# date. If you give a generic address you can easily change it to point
# at the appropriate person.
# 
# Multiple electronic addresses should be separated by commas, and all
# of them should be specified in the manner described above.
#
# #T	contact person's telephone number
#
# Format: +<country code><space><area code><space><prefix><space><number>
# 
# Example:
# 
# #T	+1 713 798 6042
# 
# This is the international format for the representation of phone
# numbers. The country code for the United States of America (and
# Canada) is 1. Other country codes should be listed in your telephone
# book.
# 
# If you must list an extension (i.e. what to ask the receptionist for,
# if not the name of the contact person), list it after the main phone
# number with an `x' in front of it to distinguish it from the rest of
# the phone number.
# 
# Example:
# 
# #T	+1 415 549 3854 x37
# 
# Multiple phone numbers should be separated by commas, and all of them
# should be completely specified as described above to prevent
# confusion (in particular, you should avoid the use of "-").
# 
# #P      organization's postal address
# 
# This field should be one line filled with whatever else anyone would
# need after the contact person's name, and your organization's name
# (given in other fields above), to mail you something by paper mail.
# Please try to include the three-letter ISO country code as part of the 
# address.
# 
# #L      latitude and longitude
# 
# This should be in the following format:
# 
# #L	DD MM [SS] "N"|"S" / DDD MM [SS] "E"|"W" ["city"]
#
# Two fields, with optional third.
# 
# First number is Latitude in degrees (DD), minutes (MM), and seconds
# (SS), and a N or S to indicate North or South of the Equator.
# 
# A Slash Separator.
#
# Second number is Longitude in degrees (DDD), minutes (MM), and seconds
# (SS), and a E or W to indicate East or West of the Prime Meridian in
# Greenwich, England.
# 
# Seconds are optional, but it is worth noting that the more accurate
# you are, the more accurate maps we can make of the network (including
# blow-ups of various high density areas, like New Jersey, or the San
# Francisco Bay Area).
# 
# If you give the coordinates for your city (i.e. without fudging for
# where you are relative to that), add the word `city' at the end of the
# end of the specification, to indicate that. If you know where you are
# relative to a given coordinate for which you have longitude and
# latitude data, then the following fudge factors can be useful:
#
# 1 degree	=	69.2 miles	=	111 kilometers
# 1 minute	=	1.15 miles	=	1.86 kilometers
# 1 second	=	102 feet	=	30.9 meters
#
# For LONGITUDE, multiply the above numbers by the cosine of your
# latitude.  For instance, at latitude 35 degrees, a degree of longitude
# is 69.2*0.819 = 56.7 miles; at latitude 40 degrees, it is 69.2*0.766 =
# 53.0 miles.  If you don't see why the measure of longitude depends on
# your latitude, just think of a globe, with all those N-S meridians of
# longitude converging on the poles.  You don't do this cosine
# multiplication for LATITUDE.
#
# Here is a short cosine table in case you don't have a trig calculator
# handy.  (But you can always write a short program in C.  The cosine
# function in bc(1) doesn't seem to work as documented.)
# deg  cos  deg  cos  deg  cos   deg  cos  deg  cos  deg  cos
#   0 1.000   5 0.996  10 0.985   15 0.966  20 0.940  25 0.906
#  30 0.866  35 0.819  40 0.766   45 0.707  50 0.643  55 0.574
#  60 0.500  65 0.423  70 0.342   75 0.259  80 0.174  85 0.087
#
# The Prime Meridian is through Greenwich, England, and longitudes run
# from 180 degrees West of Greenwich to 180 East.  Latitudes run from
# 90 degrees North of the Equator to 90 degrees South.
#
# #R      remarks
#
# This is for one line of comment. As noted before, all lines beginning
# with a `#' character are comment lines, so if you need more than one
# line to tell us something about your site, do so between the end of the
# map data (the #?\t fields) and the pathalias data.
#
# #U	netnews neighbors
#
# The USENET is the network that moves netnews around, specifically,
# news.announce.important. If you send news.announce.important to any of
# your UUCP neighbors, list their names here, delimited by spaces.
# Example:
# 
# #U	academ rice cs.utexas.edu
# 
# Since some places have lots of USENET neighbors, continuation lines
# should be just another #U and more site names.
# 
# #W      who last edited the entry and when
#
# This field should contain an email address, a name in parentheses,
# followed by a semi-colon, and the output of the date program.
# Example:
#
# #W	bcm!sob (Stan Barber); Mon Aug 27 22:21:10 CDT 1990
#
# The same rules for email address that apply in the contact's email
# address apply here also. (i.e. only one system name, and user name).
# It is intended that this field be used for automatic aging of the
# map entries so that we can do more automated checking and updating
# of the entire map. See getdate(3) from the netnews source for other
# acceptable date formats.
#
# PATHALIAS DATA (or, documenting your UUCP connections & frequency of use)
#
# The DEMAND, DAILY, etc., entries represent imaginary connect costs (see
# below) used by pathalias to calculate lowest cost paths.  The cost
# breakdown is:
#
#	LOCAL		25	local area network
#	DEDICATED	100	high speed dedicated
#	DIRECT		200	local call
#	DEMAND          300     normal call (long distance, anytime)
#	HOURLY		500	hourly poll
#	EVENING		2000	time restricted call
#	DAILY		5000	daily poll
#	WEEKLY		30000	irregular poll
#	DEAD            a very high number - not usable path
#
# NOTE: Please do not use DEAD in maps you send to the project. Just
# remove those sites from your map data. It generates much better maps.
#
# Additionally, FAST, HIGH and LOW (used like DAILY+HIGH) are -80, -5 and +5
# respectively, for baud-rate or quality bonuses/penalties, and
# FAST is -80 for adjusting linksthat use high-speed (i.e., 9600
# bps or more) modems.  Arithmetic expressions can be used; however,
# you should be aware that the results are often counter-intuitive
# (e.g. (DAILY*4) means every 4 days, not 4 times a day).  This is
# because the numbers represent "cost of connection" rather than
# "frequency of connection", and reflect the ease with which your
# system can connect to another. For example, if a site cannot be
# called, it should be rated at a higher cost than one that can
# be dialed at any time. There is an assumed high overhead for each hop;
# thus, HOURLY is far more than DAILY/24.
#
# There are a few other cost names that sometimes appear in the map.
# Some are synonyms for the preferred names above (e.g. POLLED is assumed
# to mean overnight and is taken to be the same as DAILY), some are
# obsolete (e.g.  the letters A through F, which are letter grades for
# connections.) It is not acceptable to make up new names or spellings
# (pathalias gets very upset when people do that...).
#
# If a site should not be used to route email through it (but
# email can be sent to it), surround the name with angle brackets
# to mark it as a terminal node:
#
#     myhost  <yoursite>(DIRECT)
#
# If you are using a registered domain name, you can express
# routing to local hosts by forwarding:
#
#     myhost  = myhost.my.domain
#     myhost  <.my.domain>(DEDICATED)
#
# LOCAL AREA NETWORKS
#
# We do not want local area network information in the published map.
# If you want to put your LAN in your local Path.* files, read about
# the LAN syntax in the pathalias manual page.
#
# WHAT TO DO WITH THIS STUFF
#
# Once you have finished constructing your pathalias entry, mail it off
# to academ!uucpmap, which will be sent to the appropriate regional map
# coordinator. They maintain assigned geographic sections of the map,
# and the entire map is posted on a rolling basis in the USENET newsgroups
# comp.mail.maps over the course of a month. If you wish, you can also 
# mail your map directly to your regional coodinator for processing using
# the email addresses listed in this document.
#
# Questions or comments about this specification should also be directed
# at academ!uucpmap.
