Dear Mailing List: The functional programming mailing list is currently discussing its reorganization. Currently, this list is distributed via several cross-connected, hand-coded mail deamons in the Arpanet, the Janet and the European Internet, but the organizational problems become unmanageable. There is a strong vote for replacing this list by an USENET newsgroup, but I'm not happy with that, because I can't access newsgroups. They agreed that they would perhaps run a mailing list in parallel for those who can't read newsgroups, but only if this didn't cause too much trouble. LISTSERV is a good candidate for low-trouble mailing lists. However, I have no idea if any software exists for connecting a LISTSERV-based list to an USENET newsgroup in both directions. Could you please inform me about any software / experience / problems doing this? Many thanks in advance for your help! ************************************************************************ * Klaus Kusche * * Research Institute for Symbolic Computation * * Johannes Kepler University Tel: +43 7236 3231 67 * * A-4040 Linz Telex: (Austria) 22323 uni li a * * Austria (Europe) Fax: +43 7236 3231 30 * * * * Bitnet: K312240@AEARN * * Arpa/CS/Internet: [log in to unmask] * * UUCP: mcvax!aearn.bitnet!K312240 * * Janet: [log in to unmask] or k312240%aearn@earn-relay * ************************************************************************
