This is a list of network servers and services. If you know of anything
that should appear in this list and does not, (or of something listed here
that is no longer active) please send mail to BITLIB@YALEVM.
This list is updated monthly, along with the network magazine NetMonth.
If you are not familiar with the categories of services listed here, check
for the file named BITNET USERHELP in your local public file area. If you
cannot find it there, you can request it from any of the NETSERV file servers
listed here. For example:
VM/CMS systems: TELL NETSERV AT MARIST GET BITNET USERHELP
VAX\VMS systems: SEND NETSERV@BITNIC "GET BITNET USERHELP"
You can also send the command GET BITNET USERHELP as the first line of a mail
message to one of the NETSERV servers listed in this document.

projects in education and research.
To access ASTRA the user must apply for a subscription. This is done by
sending the following command "SUBSCRIBE firstname lastname" to
ASTRADB@ICNUCEVM.
The user receives the software ASTRA EXEC and a guide manual file through
EARN. The ASTRA EXEC has to be received by the user and must be resident
in the virtual machine in order to be able to access ASTRA. Note that

*** How to Find the Right Mailing List
***
***
***
***
There are several ways you can find out it if a mailing list which covers your
topic of interest exists. In particular, there are several files which
document the various mailing lists in BITNET and other networks. Some of
these files are *very* large, so you should always check to be sure that
they aren't posted in a public place on your system before sending for them.
LISTSERV GROUPS
This files contains short descrptions of most, if not all mailing lists
in BITNET that are maintained in by LISTSERV. (This is the vast majority
of BITNET lists). Also noted are mailing lists which originate in other
networks, but are redistributed to BITNET subscribers using NETSERV. You
can get the latest copy by sending the command SENDME LISTSERV GROUPS to
NETSERV@BITNIC via mail or interactive message.
List-of-Lists
This is a rather large document describing mailing lists in BITNET, the
Internet, and several other networks. While List-of-Lists is the most
complete list to date, it can also be confusing because it contains
instructions for subscribing to each list from each network. Make sure
you are following the right instructions when using this document!!!
Due to the size of the file, it has been broken up into several parts and
made available in BITNET. To receive them, send the command SENDME
INTEREST PACKAGE to LISTSERV@NDSUVM1. No segment is larger than
56Kbytes.
NEW-LIST
If you want to find out about new mailing lists as they appear, you can
subscribe to NEW-LIST. To subscribe, send the following command to
LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 via mail or message:
SUB NEW-LIST Your_full_name
You should send your new list announcements to NEW-LIST@NDSUVM1.
]LISTSERV LISTS
]
] Dartmouth maintains a merged list of the LISTSERV lists on BITNET and the
] Interest Group lists on the Internet. It is a single file with one line
] for each mailing list. The list is updated monthly. Each line consists
] of seven fields, delimited by tabs. The fields are:
]
] Category (Computing, Science, Humanities, etc)
] List name
] "Mail to" address for submitting to the list
] "Command to" address for subscribing, unsubing
] One line description of the list subject
] Email address for the owner of the list
] Long description of the list, up to 450 characters.
]
] This list-of-lists differs from some similiar lists in that:
]
] Duplicate entries are deleted
] Lists obviously intended only for local use are omitted
] Information about the lists is field delimited
] Both Internet and BITNET lists are included
***
*** Listserv filelists
***
***
***
***
All LISTSERV list servers also act as file servers. Files are stored in
subdirectories known as FILELISTS. Listed here are public filelists of
interest to the BITNET community. Please note that in order to save space
many filelists are not noted here. These are:
1. Filelists which are common to ALL Listservs (CONTROL, INFO, TOOLS, etc.)
2. Filelists which store the archives of mailing lists (if you are interested
in this, you are on the mailing list, so you know where the archives are).
All LISTSERVs accept commands via MAIL or MESSAGE.
