What follows is part 1 (of 2) of the Arpanet List of Lists. This list
is maintained by Rich Zellich and corresponds to the List of Active
Newsgroups which I maintain on the Usenet. Many of the groups listed
herein are gatewayed into Usenet newsgroups.
Note that uucp-only sites are usually not able to receive these lists
except through gatewayed Usenet newsgroups.
Part 2 of the list is in a companion article.

SUMMARY OF MAILING-LISTS IN THIS FILE:
PLEASE NOTE: The general convention is that for administrivia about a list
(like getting added or deleted, asking about archive files, etc.) you write
to list-REQUEST@host (e.g., HEADER-PEOPLE-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU). This
gets you to the moderator, rather than to the membership of the entire
mailing list. Please look carefully at the entry for each list you are
interested in, to see if a -REQUEST address has been provided.

HUMAN-NETS@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
Mailing list originally consisting of the combined memberships of
INFO-PCNET, HOME-SAT, and TELETEXT mailing lists. Human-Nets has discussed
many topics, all of them related in some way to the theme of a world-wide
computer and telecommunications network usually called WorldNet. The topics
have ranged very widely, from something like tutorials, to state of the art
discussions, to rampant speculation about technology and its impact. The
list is extremely large, making it necessary to batch messages sent to the
list and distributing them once each day during off peak periods to avoid
overloading the system.
The permanent archives contain all of the material distributed to the list.
Due to size, this archive is broken down into several different files,
stored in reverse temporal order. The files are currently stored on ARPANet
host RU-BLUE in files RHYTHM:<PLEASANT.HUMAN-NETS>HUMNET.* (where "*" is a
wild-card).

INFO-1100@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU
BUG-1100@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU
These discussion lists focus on Xerox 1100 workstations (1100, 1108, 1132,
1185, 1186) and protocols. Their purpose is to stimulate communication and
sharing between computer science research groups that are using or are
interested in these machines.
Info-1100 is the "information channel" where messages such as announcements
of available lispusers packages may be made or for queries such as "Does
anybody know of a PUP file server implementation for the Sinclair ZX-80?".
It is intended to be a low-volume list suitable for the casual reader.
Bug-1100 is the "bug channel" where readers can warn others of Interlisp-D
bugs and/or suggest workarounds or solicit help or discussion; it is
expected to have greater volume than Info-1100, being for the hard-core
user. Since hard-core users read both lists, Bug-1100 is a subset of
Info-1100 and there is never a need to send to both lists.
Xerox PARC, SIS, and AIS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communication about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc.. Additionally, Info-1100 and Bug-1100 are automatically forwarded to
AISupport.pasa@Xerox, where bugs are noted and acted upon if appropriate.
Xerox AIS employees will not respond in Bug-1100 unless the reply is of
general interest or silence would mislead the readership.
Archives of messages are kept on SUMEX-AIM in files:
<BBOARD>INFO-1100.TXT <BBOARD>BUG-1100.TXT
Some net-contributed lispusers packages, updates, and patches are kept on
SUMEX-AIM in files:

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.

INFO-IBMPC@USC-ISIB
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-ISIB in <INFO-IBMPC>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

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-ISIB]<INFO-IBMPC> 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-ISIB]<INFO-IBMPC>. The
list of available programs is in <INFO-IBMPC>PROGRAM-LIBRARY.LIST. Donations
of source code are eagerly welcomed (even trivial programs). Donated

INFO-KERMIT@CU20B
Kermit is a file transfer protocol for use primarily between micros and
mainframes over TTY lines, and is implemented on a wide variety of both. The
Info-Kermit mailing list is a digest intended for people who maintain or
install Kermit at their sites, or who are (thinking about) working on a new
implementation, or who have bugs and/or fixes to report, or who are
interested in discussing the protocol; it is available on Internet, CSnet,
Mailnet, BITnet, Usenet, CCnet, and any other network gatewayed to the
Internet.
All the Kermit files are on CU20B in the area "KER:" or "K2:". The file
KER:AAAREAD.ME contains information on what files are in the Kermit
distribution area and how to find them. One file worth checking from time
to time is KER:AAVNEW.HLP, a brief tabular listing of each existing version
of Kermit, showing the version number and date of the latest release of each
version. The file KER:AANETW.HLP lists in detail the procedures for
obtaining Kermit files via network.
Kermit files, including program source and documentation, are available as
follows:
Internet: anonymous FTP from host CU20B, area KER: or K2:, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
BITnet: from the KERMSRV server at host CUVMA; type SMSG RSCS MSG CUVMA
KERMSRV HELP for further information.
UUCP: from Oklahoma State University (host okstate) in Stillwater, OK.
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

INFO-MODEM7@SIMTEL20.ARPA
Discussion group for the CP/M MODEM7 Christensen protocol file transfer
program. The group is concerned with development, upgrades and bug-fixes.
It is probably of no interest to most users of the program because as new

INFO-MODULA-2@ROCHESTER.ARPA
A discussion list for the Modula-2 programming language. Modula-2 is a
language by Niklaus Wirth which extends the Pascal foundation by providing
an updated statement syntax (generalized LOOP, EXIT, RETURN, no GOTO),
separate compilation with a module (compilation unit) broken into
specification and implementation parts with importing and exporting of
objects, controlled machine level access, and concurrent programming and
coroutines. Modula-2 has most of the power of Ada but is small enough that
excellent full implementations exist for CP/M 80.
Mail archives are stored on SIMTEL20 in file:
<ARCHIVES.MODULA-2>MODULA-2-ARCHIV.TXT
They are available via ANONYMOUS FTP from SIMTEL20 for those with TCP/IP
access to the Internet.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-MODULA-2-REQUEST@ROCHESTER.ARPA.

INFO-NETS%MIT-OZ@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU
Mailing list to gather information on the bitnet, and other, networks. The
list mostly concerns itself with specific questions about particular
networks; requests for specific information are accepted.
The bitnet host table is being expanded to cover other networks; it will be
called "common; nets hosts" on MIT-MC and "<common>nets.hosttab" on MIT-OZ.
A domain-style addressing will be supported in the table. Other files are
also maintained on both MIT-OZ and MIT-MC.
All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-NETS-REQUEST%MIT-OZ@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU.

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:<PCNET>. 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.
