-
- The NSF Network Service Center (NNSC) is pleased to announce a
- distribution of new and updated entries for the Internet Resource Guide.
-
- We have not sent out any new entries since the first of the year, and
- we are working, first, to catch up with updates to current entries,
- and second, to increase the size of the collection.
-
- This message is being sent to the combined FTP, PostScript and Text
- lists. This is an announcement message for the FTP (announcements
- only) list.
-
- 1. Test mailing.
-
- On May 17, we sent out a test mailing to the PostScript, Text and FTP
- mailing lists for the Internet Resource Guide. We want to thank all
- the subscribers who sent back changes or acknowledgements,
-
- 2. Distribution of new and updated entries.
-
- Today the Internet Resource Guide announces three new entries and 12
- updated entries, each of which is available as a PostScript and a Text
- (ASCII) file. In addition, the ftp help file, "README", and the
- file-list, "index-resource-guide", have been updated.
-
- We will send the new and updated entries to the Postscript and Test
- mailing lists, starting today, with no more than three entries per
- day, to avoid overburdening mailboxes. These will be followed by
- "README" and "index-resource-guide".

- 3. Updates and Name Changes for Intro and FTP Files
-
- In reponse to suggestions from several subscribers, we have changed
- our filenames so that each "intro" file is unique. "intro" is the
- file that contains the introductory essay for the entire collection.
- "intro1", "intro2', etc., contain the introduction and table of
- contents for Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc.
-
- As soon as we finished sending out the current set of new and updated
- entries, we will distribute the updated "intro.." files through the
- PostScript and Text mailing lists. We will also announce updates to
- the tarred and compressed files that allow you to FTP chapters or
- the whole guide at one time. See README for more information.
-
-
- 4. Wanted: New Entries for the Resource Guide.
-
- The NNSC is actively seeking new entries for the Resource Guide.
- If you know of a resource that should be included, please send a
- message to "resource-guide@nnsc.nsf.net" and we will be happy to
- send instructions and a template to the address you suggest.
-
-
- 5. Farewell and Many Thanks to Jane Dineen
-
- Jane Dineen, who has managed the Internet Resource Guide since April
- 1990, is now working on projects in her professional field of art
- history and archaeology. We all thank Jane for her invaluable work
- with the NNSC's Internet Resource Guide and Internet Tour.
