What is a "digest"?
================================================================
A digest is an electronic newsletter. At given intervals (usually
once a day), you will receive e-mail that contains an
accumulation of articles that have been posted to a given Usenet
newsgroups.
================================================================
Can I reply to a digest or post to it?
================================================================
NO. You may, however, post to the original newsgroup being digested.
Your post will then be included in the next digest.
Instructions on how to do this are included in each issue.
================================================================
How to START receiving a digest
================================================================
To add your name to a subscription list, send the following to <digestif@antigone.com>:

This Reference Card will be sent to you in a separate message.
================================================================
How to STOP receiving a digest
================================================================

================================================================

WHICH
You will receive a list of digests to which _the account from
which you are mailing_ is subscribed.
================================================================
Why do I keep getting error messages?
================================================================
DIGESTif is a very simple program.
If it does not understand a line in your request, it will
complain and ignore all the lines following the one it could not
interpret.
Commands must be in the body of the text.
Commands must be the first line in your message.
The Subject line of your message is ignored.

Antigone Press List of Lists
================================================================
Thank you for your interest in Antigone.
Antigone.com is glad to offer the following lists:
----------------------------
dtp-l Desktop Publishing Digest
As a service to those who do not have access to Usenet, this list
distributes digests of messages posted to comp.text.desktop.
----------------------------
next-advocacy-d NeXT Advocacy Digest
As a service to those who do not have access to Usenet, this list
distributes digests of messages posted to comp.sys.next.advocacy:
This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than
anything else in the known universe" forum. It was
created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars
from .misc.
----------------------------
next-announce-d NeXT Announcements Digest
As a service to those who do not have access to Usenet, this list
distributes digests of messages posted to comp.sys.next.announce:
Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community
(new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings,
commercial announcements etc.)
----------------------------
next-bugs-d NeXT Bugs Digest
As a service to those who do not have access to Usenet, this list
distributes digests of messages posted to comp.sys.next.bugs:
A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied
software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM
is not published, so this is a place for the net
community find out about problems when they're
discovered.
----------------------------
next-hardware-d NeXT Hardware Digest
As a service to those who do not have access to Usenet, this list
distributes digests of messages posted to comp.sys.next.advocacy:
Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible
peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g.
Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most
cases, questions about Intel hardware are better
asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about
SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't
the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what
.marketplace is for.
----------------------------
next-marketplace-d NeXT Marketplace Digest
As a service to those who do not have access to Usenet, this list
distributes digests of messages posted to comp.sys.next.marketplace:
NeXT stuff for sale/wanted.
----------------------------
next-nextstep-d NeXT NeXTSTEP Digest
As a service to those who do not have access to Usenet, this list
distributes digests of messages posted to comp.soft.sys.nextstep:
Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists
because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is
for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP.
----------------------------
next-misc-d NeXT Miscellany Digest
As a service to those who do not have access to Usenet, this list
distributes digests of messages posted to comp.sys.next.misc:
For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.
----------------------------
next-programmer-d NeXT Programming Digest
As a service to those who do not have access to Usenet, this list

Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP
programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced
technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong
elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific
questions about NeXT's implementation or porting
issues are appropriate here. Note that there are
several other more "horizontal" newsgroups
(comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript,
comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that
may also be of interest.
----------------------------
next-software-d NeXT Software Digest
