newlists
    Contact: [e-mail]   (Marty Hoag)

    lists.  Subscribers will get announcements of new lists that are

NewsCom
    Contact: [e-mail]  (Lance Sanders)

    Purpose: To make available synergies discerned in, and created
    from, print news media (up to a 12-year time-span).  Many "facts,"
    particulary scientific ones, have a habit of changing with time.
    NewsCommando shows extreme prejudice toward those articles whose
    contents exhibit "legs." The depth of insight possible using the
    information mosaic method can be staggering. A form of electronic
    magazine, NewsCommando can serve as a reference tool, offer unique
    jump-off points for Medline, PaperChase, or other searches, and,
    in many ways, is the "poor-man's IdeaFisher/IdeaBank."  Vol. 1
    will contain the following articles:
       ChemTao: Synergies In the Life Sciences
       EarthWatch1: Defining the Scope of Environmental Destruction
       Why Euthanasia Must Never Be Legalized
    Use "NewsCom request" in the "Subject:" field of message headers.
    Indicate article title(s) desired or "all" in body of message.
    Articles will be deposited in your mailbox with a "NewsCom/Vol.#"
    Subject header.  Most will be in excess of 20K.  Please group-save
    them to a file for later reading.

    These issues include problems related to test suites in general,
    testability of various features of the standards, and portability
    of the test suites to the many very different POSIX
    implementations we expect to see in the near future.  We'll focus
    on the test suites themselves, rather than on the standards to
    which they test (notably POSIX p1003.3).

    Purpose: SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them related
    in some way to the theme of science fiction and fantasy.  The
    topics have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, SF and
    fantasy books, SF movies, and SF conventions to reviews of books,
    movies and television shows.  The range of topics is quite wide and
    anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics of
    interest in this general area.
