[log in to unmask] New List Clearinghouse [log in to unmask] The "NEW-LIST" list has been established as a central address to post announcements of new public mailing lists. In addition, "NEW-LIST" might be used as a final verification before establishing a list (to check for existing lists on the same topic, etc.). However, be sure to check sources such as the Internet List-of-Lists (SIGLIST or INTEREST-GROUPS list), LISTSERV GROUPS, Usenet News newusers lists, and the LISTS database on the major LISTSERVs (we have the LISTS database on NDSUVM1). It is not our intent to replace the various lists of lists that are available. We want to provide a clearinghouse to feed list announcements to all those maintaining the lists and others who are interested. You may subscribe to the NEW-LIST list by sending RFC822 Mail to LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 on Bitnet or [log in to unmask] on Internet In the BODY (text) of your mail include the command: SUB NEW-LIST firstname lastname eg. sub new-list Jane Doe The LISTSERV server will take your address from the "From:" address of your mail. If you are on BITNET/EARN/NetNorth and can send interactive messages (eg. TELL on CMS or SEND on VMS with JNET) then you can send the SUB command as shown to LISTSERV at NDSUVM1 interactively. If you prefer, you may send mail to the Coordinator to be asked to be added to the list. However you subscribe, you should receive return mail with a confirmation and additional information. Coordinator: Marty Hoag [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] PS: I would appreciate it if you would add a brief description of NEW-LIST to public lists of lists and related files which you might maintain. I hope it will be helpful and make it easier to disseminate information about new lists, prospective lists, or urgent info on the status of lists whose host might be down, etc. mgh
