-
- The NSF Network Service Center (NNSC) is pleased to announce second
- distribution of entries for the Internet Resource Guide -- this time
- of updated entries only.
-
- This message is a general announcement sent to the combined FTP,
- PostScript and Text lists. It is also an announcement message for the
- FTP (announcements only) list.
-
- 1. Distribution of updated entries.
-
- Today the Internet Resource Guide announces 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.
-
- The files intro1.ps, section1-2.ps and section 1-16.ps were sent on
- Friday, August 28. The corresponding .txt files are being sent today.
- We will send the rest of the updated entries listed here to the
- Postscript and Text mailing lists, starting tomorrow, with three or
- four entries per day, to avoid overburdening mailboxes. These will be
- followed by "README" and "index-resource-guide", and then by another
- announcement and more updated and new entries.

- 2. Updates and Name Changes for Intro and FTP Files
-
- As we announced previously, in response to suggestions from several
- subscribers, we have changed our filenames so that each "intro" file
- is unique.
-
- 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. Meanwhile, we will keep the
- "intro.." files roughly in step with the updated entries so that you
- can retrieve them by anonymous FTP.
-
- In the near future, we will 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.
- Yesterday, we sent a solicitation the IETF list, and we plan to
- send to other lists.
-
- 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.
