The MSDOS, MISC, and CP/M collections are maintained by
Keith Petersen (W8SDZ), who makes periodic announcements of
new releases to the INFO-IBMPC and INFO-CPM mailing lists.
The UNIX-C and LINUX-OS collections are maintained by John
Pliler (JPLILER), with periodic announcements of new
releases made to the UNIX-SW mailing list.
The MACINTOSH Collection is maintained by Bob Thum (RTHUM),
Stan Sobczynski (STAN), and John Mitchener (JMITCHENER),
based on announcements made on several Macintosh-related
mailing lists.
The CPMUG, SIGM, ZSYS, HZ100, Ada, STARS, and VHDL collec-
tions are no longer actively maintained and are offered as-
is.
Each mailing list mentioned above have administrative
addresses of the form listname-REQUEST@WSMR-

and deletions to the lists.
