A recent poll has confirmed the impression that interest in Atari
computers is divided according to architecture family, namely the
8-bit and 16-bit families. Accordingly, the list is to be divided.
Exactly how this division will effect the individual is described
below.

Direct contact with INFO-ATARI@SU-SCORE will change as follows: Two
new lists have been created INFO-ATARI8 and INFO-ATARI16.  They are
both copies of the original INFO-ATARI. Please send a message to
INFO-ATARI-REQUEST@SU-SCORE for additions and removals from either
list. Presently, INFO-ATARI will point to INFO-ATARI8; eventually it
will be removed.

Redistribution of mail conserves net overhead. I assume that the
various redistribution sites will follow the same conventions as
described above.


There is a mirror between ARPANET/DDN mail as described above and the
Usenet news group net.micro.atari.  We are working on getting it
replaced by net.micro.atari8 and net.micro.atari16. 

If there are similar mirrors to other
bulletin boards and information systems, their administrators should
send mail at once so they can continue to receive messages.


Sincerely,

 - Marshall D. Abrams, moderator
