and a Long Description for the group when avalible (This is where I
  could really use your help)

As mentioned above I could really use descriptions for the groups.  The
descriptions don't have to be real long, orginal charters will do.  So if
you can either cut and paste a charter from a faq or write your own
description it would be MOST appresated.

For more information please see the file "inco-center-faq" under the
/pub/usenet-i/info directory at ftp.clark.net or check out my home page at
"http://www.clark.net/pub/usenet-b/www/home.html".

alt.arts.nomad

  Shifting, searching, belonging, place, identity, power?

  A forum for the discussion of issues related to the idea that beliefs and
  identity are becoming increasingly unstable. Our emerging global culture is
  influenced by a shifting and constant movement that alters economic,
  spiritual, and  geographic categories and hence our understanding of the world.
  
  NOMAD represents varying concepts of space and time that inform
  relationships between and across cultures, between gendered
  and culturally different  individuals. It investigates what happens
  to an image, a story, a theory that moves from place to place. NOMAD
  challenges truth while recognizing that certain "essentialisms" can be
  made useful.
  
  NOMAD includes the effects of televisual and digital technologies on
  social  and cultural meaning. It is about the ability to be in at least
  two places at  once, to be in two or more moments of historical space
  and time, to be both in and out of one's body. It explores the
  homogenizing tendencies of global communications media in relation 
  to local cultures. It concerns the influence of these technologies 
  over even those who appear to be outside the circuits, over those 
  who are otherwise perceived as marginal or who are willfully peripheral.

  Lower...to the right...aaaah!

    The alt.backrubs newsgroup functions primarily as a place for discussion 
  of massage techniques and principles, and issues related to massage 
  including bodywork therapies, e.g. Rolfing.  
    Although it would be a waste of energy to post messages seeking sexual 
  partners in alt.backrubs, there have been some interesting discussions 
  about areas of overlap between massage and sex. The archive contains 
  collections of such postings.

alt.binaries.pictures.celebrities

  Unrated pictures of famous people.

  An unmoderated group to carry postings of encoded pictures
  featuring famous people, which do not fit into other pictures groups, i.e.
  people that are not supermodels or porn stars. Since this group is intended
  as a companion group to alt.binaries.pictures.misc and not abp.erotica,
  pictures in this group should be G rated, i.e. do not include nudity. Pictures
  of famous nude people still should go to alt.binaries.pictures.erotica*.
  If any nude pictures are posted, they should carry a note of that in the
  subject and the description.
  
  Crosspostings between this group and alt.binaries.pictures.misc are not
  incourged, since abp.misc is supposed to take anything that doesn't 
  fit in other groups. Crosspostings between this group and abps are 
  acceptable, if the subject fits into both groups.
  
  All discussion related to postings in alt.binaries.pictures.celebrities should
  go to alt.binaries.pictures.d. A .d group specifically for the group will
  not be created. To assure this, all posters should set the Followup-To
  field to alt.binaries.pictures.d. Discussions about the people portrayed in
  pictures posted in the group should best take place in the appropriate
  groups for each celebrity, e.g. alt.fan.*, alt.tv.*, rec.music.*, etc.

  performers and visitors outside of Tuva.

  whose method of learning differs from that assumed in most schools.

  some areas are often weak in others, and vice versa.

alt.fan.greaseman

  Fans of Doug Tracht, the DJ.

  The "Greaseman," aka Doug Tracht, is a highly talented "shock" DJ, employed
  at WWDC-FM Washington, DC for nearly 10 years before being picked up for
  syndication by the same network that carries Howard Stern.  He enjoys a
  large following around the country by former audiences in both Florida and
  Washington,  as well as fans scattered around the country who share his
  material via cassette-tape. 
  
  Some individuals think "Grease" is far more creative and talented than Mr.
  Fart-Man Stern.  Whatever the preference, most agree he is an acquired taste.

  A group solely for the discussion and critisism of signatures over four
  lines long, the idea is to present a signature which hasn't been seen
  in the last month or so with a witty, and hopefully, funny comment
  about it.   Presenting a signature without comment or making a inane
  comment will probably get you flamed.  This is a good place to look for
  fancy artwork in signatures, and a good place to check occasionally if
  you have fancy artwork in your signature :-)

alt.history.what-if

  What would the net have been like without this group?

  A newsgroup to discuss the alternate courses history
  could have taken if events had happened a different way at various
  junctures, such as, what if the South had won the Civil War by defeating
  Meade at Gettysburg and causing Lincoln to lose the election of 1864 to
  McClellan?  This is a popular theme in science fiction and fantasy, but is
  not limited to science fiction and fantasy.  There exists a mailing list
  dedicated to this subject which, among other things, has compiled quite a
  list of alternate historical themes.  

  LIST: Alternate History Stories, * of *
    An annotated bibliography of novels, stories and essays involving
      alternate histories (a.k.a. what-ifs, allohistories, uchronias
      or counterfactuals), writings in which a past event has been
      altered and its effect on history somehow described.

alt.music.progressive

  Yes, Marillion, Asia, King Crimson, etc.

  Discussion of progressive rock; that is, the art rock movement of the
  1970's, headed by Yes, Genesis, ELP, Kansas, Gentle Giant, and others.
  This music is characterized by strong classical and jazz influences,
  lengthy pieces, and attention to compositional details (perhaps
  noticeable mainly to trained musicians) rather than catchiness or
  marketability.  New artists that write compositionally complex music
  are also discussed.
  
  There are other definitions for "progressive" music.  For one group of
  people, it is a synonym for today's "alternative" music.
  alt.music.progressive does NOT address this music; see
  alt.music.alternative instead.  For a second group of people, it means
  any music that progresses beyond popular music in some significant
  way.  alt.music.progressive sometimes addresses this type of music.
  
  The most common argument concerning "progressive rock" occurs when two
  people use different definitions of "progressive."  One or both of
  them start screaming, "the music you like is NOT progressive."  These
  arguments get nowhere and should be avoided.
  
  Note that alt.music.genesis and alt.music.yes exist for discussions
  particular to Genesis and Yes, respectively.

alt.music.world

  Music from around the world (no "pop" or "rock").

  A group for the discussion of music based in any of the world's 
  classical, popular, and folk traditions.  Excluded from this group would 
  be any musical traditions that already have their own newsgroups
  (e.g. rec.music.classical, rec.music.indian.classical, rec.music.afro-latin,
  rec.music.folk (which appears to be dedicated mostly to American
  folk music), etc.).  However, music that might be unwelcome in any of 
  the above-named groups because it does not adhere to traditional forms 
  closely enough (e.g. baroque-Indian-Cuban-pop fusion music) would be 
  welcome to be discussed in alt.music.world. Of course, discussion of 
  highly traditional music would be just as welcome as discussion of 
  non-traditional genre-crossing music. 
  
  In short:  If you would find it in the "World Music" or "International" 
  section of a record store and it doesn't have its own newsgroup, then 
  alt.music.world would be the place to discuss it.

alt.politics.socialism.trotsky

  Trotskyite socialism discussions.

  A newsgroup to serve as the forum for the large Trotskyite

  they perceive to be "real" socialism.  I don't understand it much myself, 
  but you've probably seen the flames in alt.politics.radical-left directed 
  at the actual theorists from the wacko kooks.  In other words, this group 
  is intended to separate the serious discussion out from the flamage.

  Societies without rulers.

  A forum for discussion and organization of activism, future, history 
  and theory relevant to anarchy and anarchism.  Appropriate 
  crossposting and posting of relevant material to alt.society.anarchy 
  is encouraged.
  
  Anarchism and anarchist societies have played an important yet
  little-known role in human history. Anarchist activism and
  ideas have spread at an unprecedented rate in the nineteenth
  and twentieth centuries. Now, with statism in chaos and
  disrepair everywhere, anarchism has great appeal for an
  incredibly diverse set of people.

alt.support.tall

  Issues of interest to tall people.

  For the discussion of matters of general interest to the tall community.  
  These issues involve finding clothing, furniture, cars, etc. that fit, 
  tall clubs in North America and elsewhere, and other issues of general 
  interest.  This does not include stories, GIFs, and so forth.  While  
  alt.support.tall would not be my preferred name -- it carries a less   
  positive connotation than I would like -- it fits well into the current  
  alt.support hierarchy.

bionet.software.gcg

  Discussions about using the ACEDB software.

  A plave for discussions by users and developers of genome databases 
  using the ACEDB software.
  
  This group includes discussions ranging from construction of new
  databases using the ACEDB software, curation of genetic and physical
  map information into Ace format, to questions about the use of any of
  the species specific databases utilizing the ACEDB software.
  
  As part of the C. elegans genome effort Jean Thierry-Mieg and Richard
  Durbin developed a generalized software solution for genome databases.
  ACEDB is the name of the software used for the organization,
  presentation and storage of genome information. It is also the name of
  the first database to use this software, the the C. elegans genome
  database. ACEDB includes an X-windows user interface and an
  object-like database engine developed specifically for storage of
  biological information.
  
  Many groups have begun using ACEDB to create a variety of genome
  databases. As of April 1993 three of these groups have released their
  databases to the general public and many others are well along in
  their development. The number of groups utilizing the ACEDB software
  to organize, manipulate and disseminate genome information is
  increasing. An informal community of ACEDB developers has formed to
  share knowledge and resources. This group allows the community of
  developers and users to continue sharing and growing. The archives of
  the group also provide a useful resource to both developers and users.

bit.listserv.wx-talk

  Weather Issues Discussions.

  WX-TALK (This newsgroup) is the Weather issues discussion group. WX-TALK 
  has been around for about six years now. While some of topics are covered in
  sci.geo.meteorology, WX-TALK is designed to handle both technical and
  non-technical topics. The two groups are sufficiently different to
  warrant their separate existance.

biz.books.technical

  Technical bookstore & publisher advertising & info.

  A place for bookstores, publishers, and others to conduct technica
  book business. Such business includes bookstores listing their policies
  and book availability; publishers advertising books and/or soliciting
  authors; agents looking for authors to produce books (used to see
  Mitchell Waite doing this for the Waite Group); etc.   A good place 
  for publishers list their requirements for manuscripts, etc.
  
  Careful consideration should be made when cross-posting to both mbt
  and bbt: the fact that a long-awaited book is available might merit
  mention in misc.books.technical.  The fact that you have 400 copies, or
  that you're offering them at a discount <does not>.  But it does belong
  in biz.books.technical.

  reasonable posting of announcements of products by and supporting Univel
  is encouraged.

  discussions regarding USL System 5 Release 4.2, upon which the current

  Genetic algorithms in computing.

  This group is devoted to the subject of genetic algorithms, Including:
  -- Mathematical theory of genetic algorithms.
  -- Classifier systems, and other uses of GAs in machine learning.
  -- The use of GAs in function-optimization.
  -- Applications of GAs in any domain.
  -- The use of GAs in the modeling of evolution.
  -- Evolutionary aspects of artificial life.
  -- Combinations of genetic algorithms and neural networks.
  -- Other varieties of evolutionary computation
           -- e.g. "evolutionary strategies" and "genetic programming".
  -- Software for genetic algorithms.
  -- Implementational strategies for genetic algorithms.
  -- Conference and journal announcements.
  
  It should be noted that the presence of "AI" in the group name
  does not rule out discussion of aspects of genetic algorithms that are
  not directly related to AI, any more than it does in comp.ai.neural-nets.

comp.arch.arithmetic

  Implementing arithmetic on computers/digital systems.

  A forum for the discussion of implementing arithmetic functions in 
  digital computers (and other digital systems).  There are many other 
  newsgroups which share a peripheral interest with this topic, but none 
  which deals precisely with the topic of implementing arithmetic (and 
  logical) functions on digital systems.
  
  comp.arch.arithmetic deals with the topic of computer arithmetic at
  several different levels, from the circuit level (how to build a faster
  multiplier, for example) to the algorithmic level.  Both hardware and
  software implementations of arithmetic are approprate.  Any problem
  involving arithmetic or logical calculations is fair game for discussion,
  whether it be ALU design, digital signal processing, cryptography,
  minimization of logic equations, or anything else.  This newsgroup is
  also for the discussion of various protocols and standards relating to
  computer arithmetic, such as IEEE Standard 754.  In short, any topic
  relevant to computer arithmetic/logic is acceptable in this newsgroup.
  
  comp.arch.arithmetic serves all of those with an interest in  computer 
  arithmetic, from undergraduates wondering what two's complement  numbers 
  are, to seasoned researchers discussing the latest developments of the 
  field.  No one should be made to feel unwelcome, simply due to a lack of 
  experience or knowledge of the topics covered.  An FAQ is also avalible 
  for this group.
  
  Generally, any post relating to computer arithmetic or logic is considered 
  acceptable.  Posts which are not relevant to the topic at hand, or posts 
  which are excessively hostile, are considered unacceptable.  Constructive 
  criticism of another's ideas/work are OK, flames are not.  As comp.arch.
  arithmetic is an UNMODERATED newsgroup, readers are expected to exercise
  their own good judgment when posting.  It is anticipated that the vast
  majority of posters will be professional in their behavior, so moderation
  is not necessary.

comp.arch.bus.vmebus

  Hardware and software for VMEbus Systems.

  The newsgroup 'comp.arch.bus.vmebus' is a forum for discussing
  issues related to developing VMEbus-based systems.  This
  includes discussion of VMEbus-based hardware, such as CPU
  boards and I/O devices; the VMEbus specification; any alternate
  or secondary buses supported by the VMEbus International Trade
  Association (VITA) which includes FutureBus+, VSB, VXI, and
  VMX; open-architecture applications based on the VMEbus; and
  hardware-dependent software, such as device drivers and bus
  communication protocols.  The group is also available for
  questions and answers, so that developers of VMEbus-based
  hardware and software can get feedback or help with any
  problems they may encounter.
  
  Discussions should not be about hardware-independent software
  which use the VMEbus, such as the operating system or language
  being used, as there are other comp.* newsgroups dedicated to
  those functions.

  comp.arch.bus.vmebus Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    This posting contains a list of Frequently Asked Questions and
      other information about the VMEbus computer system.  The VMEbus
      is an industrial grade open systems bus specification. This FAQ
      contains general information about the VMEbus and VXIbus
      specifications, where to obtain further information and answers
      to questions often asked on comp.arch.bus.vmebus.

comp.arch.storage

  Storage system issues, both hardware and software.

  This group is to facilitate and encourage communication among people 
  interested in computer storage systems.  The scope of the discussions
  would include issues relevant to all types of computer storage systems,
  both hardware and software.  The general emphasis here is on open
  storage systems as opposed to platform specific products or proprietary
  hardware from a particular vendor.  Such vendor specific discussions
  might belong in comp.sys.xxx or comp.periphs.  Many of these questions
  are at the research, architectural, and design levels today, but as more
  general storage system products enter the market, discussions may 
  expand into "how to use" type questions.
  
  This group serves as a forum for the discussion of issues which do
  not easily fit into the more tightly focused discussions in various
  existing newsgroups.  The issues are much broader than Unix
  (comp.unix.*, comp.os.*), as they transcend operating systems in
  general.  Distributed computer systems of the future will offer
  standard network storage services; what operating system(s) they use
  (if any) will be irrelevant to their clients.  The peripheral groups
  (comp.periphs, comp.periphs.scsi) are too hardware oriented for these
  topics.  Several of these topics involve active standards groups but
  several storage system issues are research topics in distributed
  systems.  In general, the standards newsgroups (comp.std.xxx) are too
  narrowly focused for these discussions.

comp.binaries.geos

  Binaries for the GEOS operating system. (Moderated)

  The purpose of 'comp.binaries.geos' is to provide a place for the
  posting of uuencoded binaries for use with the GEOS operating system
  on conventional Personal Computers (PC's), pen-based Personal
  Digital Assistants (PDA's), and hybrid Personal Information Assistants
  (PIA's).
  
  This will include any freeware or shareware applications, drivers,
  libraries, document templates, screen backgrounds, clip-art, document
  files, icons, fonts, et cetera.  Binaries for other operating systems
  which provide interaction or compatibility with GEOS will also be
  accepted.  The group will be moderated; non-binaries and files without
  relation to GEOS will be returned.
  
  The 'comp.binaries.geos' group will be moderated to ensure that all
  postings are indeed binaries for use with GEOS.
  
  For more information on GEOS itself, please see the FAQ posted to
  'comp.os.geos' periodically.

comp.constraints

  Constraint processing and related topics.

  During the International Workshop on Constraint Processing at CSAM'93 in
  St. Petersburg (Russia) this summer,  many participants expressed a need
  for a common forum to discuss all aspects of  constraint processing from
  different viewpoints  and to work out the common principles, techniques,
  and vocabulary, as well as to contrast and compare different approaches.
  
  TOPICS OF DISCUSSIONS
  
  Discussion and announcements on all aspects of constraint processing are
  welcome, including (but not limited to)
  
  .    *  constraint-satisfaction methods and consistency techniques,
  .    *  constraint logic programming,
  .    *  concurrent constraint languages,
  .    *  constraints and knowledge representation,
  .    *  object-oriented constraint processing,
  .    *  constraint programming,
  .    *  constraint maintenance,
  .    *  constraint relaxation techniques,
  .    *  hierarchical constraint problems,
  .    *  parallel and distributed computing with constraints,
  .    *  finite as well as continous domain handling,
  .    *  constraint processing in deductive databases, constraints in SQL,
  .    *  constraint processing in compilation for supercomputers,
  .    *  constraint processing in computer graphics and user interfaces,
  .    *  relations to operations research,
  .    *  complexity results,
  .    *  theoretical foundations,
  .    *  implementation techniques,
  .    *  and, especially, real-life applications.
  
  An increasing number  of researchers all over the world  are now dealing
  with different  aspects of constraint processing  regarded as a  general
  paradigm  of computation.  However, the constraint processing  community
  appears to be  very heterogeneous:   Researchers from logic programming,
  knowledge representation,  expert systems, theoretical computer science,
  operations research  and other  related fields are investigating the use
  of constraint processing methods, their theoretical foundations, as well
  as their applications  to real-life problems.  Each of these communities
  has its own subgroup dealing with  constraint processing issues, some of
  them with specialized meetings and workshops.  Discussion on  constraint
  processing issues is currently split over several newsgroups and mailing
  lists each dealing with constraint processing from different viewpoints.
  Thus,  it appears that a  common communication  media is missing for the
  discussion of  general issues  and for initiating a  cross-fertilization
  between the different communities.
  
  This newsgroup is intended to provide an international forum for
  communication between  researchers working  on different aspects of con-
  straint processing in order to investigate  similarities and differences
  between  their basic viewpoints  as well as to work out the common prin-
  ciples, vocabulary, and techniques that are used.

   (1) To discuss the design, programming, and administration of systems
       and applications which use a database model and programming tools
       generically known as xBase (those tools derived or desended from
       Ashton-Tate's dBASE III).
   
       These include, among others:
       "dBASE"
           Ashton-Tate's dBASE III and dBASE III+
              (there are still thousands using these) Borland's
           dBase IV
       "Clipper"
           Nantucket's Clipper Summer '87 compiler
           Nantucket's Clipper 5.01 compiler
           Computer Associates CA-Clipper 5.2 compiler
       "Fox"
           Fox Software's FoxBase+ and FoxBase+(Mac)
           Fox Software's FoxPro 2.0
           MicroSoft's FoxPro (2.0 and 2.5)
       "Others"
           Computer Associates CA-dbFast
           Plus variants of these for other OS's (notably Unix)
   
   (2) To share ideas, information, and specific experience regarding
       design and programming of applications within the xBase
       environment, including efficient schema design and useful xBase
       programming techniques;
  
   (3) To discuss new products of interest to xBase users, including
       updates to xBase systems and third-party add-on products, their
       useage, advantages and drawbacks, and, where shareware/freeware
       can be found for downloading;
   
   (4) To educate and inform others about the strengths, weaknesses, and
       general usage of xBase to solve real world problems; and;
   
   (5) To provide xBase users and developers who have Usenet access what
       they have not had before: a common newsgroup to share with one
       another _xBase_ ideas, concerns, experiences, questions, and
       knowledge -- seperate from "general database" discussion,
       relational theory, and, discussion of mainframe database products.
   
   (6) Product specific discussion in the general group (c.d.xbase.misc) is
       discouraged, as is crossposting between product specific groups and
       the general database group.  Comparisions of xBase products with
       non-xBase products should be limited to the group comp.databases.

comp.graphics.algorithms

  Algorithms used in producing computer graphics.

  A forum for the discussion of the algorithms used in the process of
  generating computer graphics.  These algorithms may be recently
  proposed in published journals or papers, old or previously
  known algorithms, or hacks used incidental to the process of
  computer graphics.  The scope of these algorithms may range
  from an efficient way to multiply matrices, all the way to a
  global illumination method incorporating raytracing, radiosity,
  infinite spectrum modeling, and perhaps even mirrored balls and
  lime jello.
  This group serves as a forum for programmers and researchers to
  exchange ideas and ask questions on recent papers or current research 
  related to computer graphics.

  GUI allows users to build custom applications without having to write
  any, or a minimal amount of, traditonal code. Also, exisiting code can
  be easily integrated into the Explorer environment. Explorer currently
  is available on SGI and Cray machines, but will become available on
  other platforms in time.

comp.lang.dylan

  For discussion of the Dylan language.

  For discussion of the Dylan language. This newsgroup is gatwayed
  gatewayed with the mailing list info-dylan@cambridge.apple.com.
  
  Dylan(TM) is a new object-oriented language, described in a book
  published by Apple Computer in April 1992.  Many people have expressed
  interest in the language since then, and prototype implementations are
  now appearing.
  
  In September, Apple created four public mailing lists for discussions
  of Dylan; the one called info-dylan is used for discussing any and all
  aspects of the language.  In just over a month, the volume of mail on
  info-dylan has reached the point where a newsgroup would be more
  useful than a mailing list; indeed, some subscribers have already
  removed their names from the list because of the high volume.  Apple
  will maintain a gateway with the mailing list so that current
  subcribers to info-dylan who lack newsgroup access will still be able
  to participate in the discussions.

comp.lang.functional

  Discussion about functional languages.

  An unmoderated group for the discussional of functional
  programming and functional programming languages.  By 'functional
  programming' is meant programming without side effects and in a
  context where functions are first class objects.  It isn't necessary
  that the language itself be purely functional, so scheme, ml, etc. are
  valid topics for discussion; but only the functional aspects of not
  purely functional languages should be discussed.

comp.lang.logo

  The Logo teaching and learning language.

  Comp.lang.logo provides a common ground for discussion of the Logo
  language and its variants, questions about language syntax,
  constructs, algorithms, and use of Logo and like languages for
  educational goals.  be facilitated.  Experiences, lessons learned and
  ``What worked for me'' stories that are posted to this newsgroup would
  allow a broad range of distribution and provide a knowledgeable group
  of contributors for answering questions.  Exchange of Logo programs
  would be facilitated by posting notices of program archives.
  
  This newsgroup is focused on the Logo approach to education,
  exploration, and programming in Logo.  Areas for discussion include,
  but are not limited to, the following topics:
  
  *  The Logo Language itself, including how to get started,
  programming questions, resources, and reference materials.
  
  *  Logo applications and development information including: design
  issues, utilities, experiences with Logo use, new features or
  capabilities [e.g. LEGO/Logo], and implementation issues for interpreter
  developers.  This area would also serve as a focal point for software
  trading, reviews and requests for available packages.
  
  *  Logo for educational, pedagogical, development or cognitive
  discipline support.
  
  *  General discussion on the uses of the Logo language for
  education, prototyping, exploratory programming, microworld
  development, tooling, AI-Education topics, classroom experiences and
  research results.
  
  In addition to topics and general discussion areas already listed,
  examples of questions that have been discussed in other groups that
  are appropriate for comp.lang.logo are:
  
  *  Why does my school system insist on teaching Logo to only advanced
  students when that was clearly not the goal of the language designers
  and developers? 
  
  *  How can I get my school system to use Logo to replace the
  Electronic Worksheets they are using now? 
  
  *  Anyone want to get a group buy together for LEGO/Logo and see if
  Dacta will give us a group discount? 
  
  *  When and where are the good Logo conferences this year? 
  
  *  Has anyone read the book ``Logo's Good Gnus ''  Is it any good? 
  
  *  Why are there so few microworlds outside the realm of
  mathematics? 
  
  *  How do I get started with Logo for my children at home?

comp.lang.ml

  ML languages including Standard ML, CAML, Lazy ML, etc. (Moderated)

  A moderated newsgroup exclusively for discussion of ML.  ML is a
  family of advanced programming languages with [usually]
  functional control structures, strict semantics, a strict
  polymorphic type system, and parametrized modules.  It includes
  Standard ML, Lazy ML, CAML, CAML Light, and various research languages.
  Implementations are available on many platforms, including PCs, mainframes,
  most models of  workstation, multi-processors and supercomputers.  ML has
  many thousands of users, is taught at many universities (and is the first
  programming language taught at some).
  
      Topics for discussion include (but are not limited to): 
       * general ML enquiries or discussion 
       * general interpretation of the definition of Standard ML 
       * applications and use of ML 
       * announcements of general interest (e.g. compiler releases)
       * discussion of semantics including sematics of ext. based on ML
       * discussion about library structure and content
       * tool development
       * comparison/contrast with other languages
       * implementation issues, techniques and algorithms including
  extensions based on ML

  Relevant topics, in this group, cover all aspects of Pop11 programming
  (from novice questions to expert efficiency issues) and the current BSI
  standards effort (Pop9x), and how it relates to other languages of this type
  (e.g. GLOW, Pepper).
  
  Also relevant is conversations about the Poplog programming environment
  and its libraries. Like:
  
  OOP in Pop11 Flavours, or objectclass etc. and how they relate to other
  .    OOP languages (C++, CLOS etc.)
  X windows hacking in Pop11 and the Poplog widget set.
  Mixed language programming (eg. between Lisp/Pop11/Prolog/ML/C etc.) that
  .    is supported in Poplog but isn't relevant for discussion in other,
  .    pure language, groups
  Techniques for Artificial Intelligence programming (it is an AI language
  .    after all :)

comp.lang.prograph

  Prograph, a visual object-oriented dataflow language.

  Any and all discussion about Prograph, a unique visual object-oriented
  dataflow programming language.
  
  What is Prograph?: Prograph is a complete programming language and
  environment that uses visual elements to describe objects and
  functions -- there is no textual syntax -- and it has its own
  interpreter and compiler.  After over five years of availability on
  the Apple Macintosh, Prograph is moving cross-platform with versions
  for Windows and several Unices currently in testing.  The most recent
  version of Prograph, Prograph CPX, contains a cross-platform
  application framework class library and high-level GUI builder.
  Prograph will also have the ability to generate C++ code which will be
  compilable under gcc linked to a set of compatibility classes on a
  wide variety of platforms.
  
  What about Prograph Source Code?: Prograph source code should not be
  loaded onto the usenet system, as it tends to be large.  Instead,
  there is a Prograph file archive maintained at ftp.iup.edu in the
  info-prograph directory where files can be uploaded and downloaded via
  anonymous ftp.  For those without ftp access, an info-prograph-sources
  mailing list can be established.  alt.sources.mac also lists Prograph
  code as one of its legal posting types.

    This posting tells you everything you ought to know about an
      exciting project that helps so-called Newbies to survive their
      first year on The Net. It gets you softly into most of the often
      severe details of mindboggling complexity that pop up when
      you're hooked into The Net.  It is also intended to help you get
      around the trap doors, avoid pitfalls and other non-funny things
      (e.g. local gurus that laugh at you), you'll encounter during
      life as a Netizen in Cyberspace.  It is styled after a FAQ list,
      ie. "Frequently Asked Questions and their respective Answers".

  Linux-specific topics not covered by other groups.

  don't fit into the other Linux newsgroups.  While c.o.l.setup is

  general nature about Linux, such as setting up a file hierarchy 
  standard or questions about Linus' personal life and virtual 
  beer. Again, it should be noted that crossposting between 
  c.o.l.misc and other Linux newsgroups is strongly discouraged. If 
  your posting or question does not fit into ONLY ONE of the other 
  Linux newsgroups, post it to c.o.l.misc.

comp.os.ms-windows.announce

  Announcements relating to Windows. (Moderated)

  The comp.os.ms-windows.announce group is a moderated news group for
  announcing anything related to Microsoft Windows or Windows NT.
  Articles are subject to editing or rejection.
  
  Typical postings include new uploads to ftp sites, software/hardware
  releases or updates, meetings, conferences, exhibits, services, or
  rumors (reliable sources only ;).
  
  Especially useful are NEW uploads to FTP sites, which are easy to
  spot here, as opposed to other windows groups which receive 100's of
  posts per day.  So if you're first to upload a file to one of the FTP
  sites (cica/sunsite/etc), please feel free to send me an announcement.
  
  Posts regarding announcements about other Operating System vendors are
  fine as long as the primarily relate to Microsoft Windows/NT (examples:
  Sun's WABI, or IBM's OS/2 for Windows).
  
  For the most part, postings should generally be around 150 lines in
  length.  There are obvious exceptions and if you think you have
  one, please submit the article.
  
  This group is not for Job offerings (see misc.jobs.offered) or 
  Opinions on a posting (follow-ups to comp.os.ms-windows.misc).  If you
  grab a piece of software mentioned on this group and find a dangerous
  bug, please feel free to send me a note detailing the circumstances, if
  it's serious, I'll post it.
  
  Marketing hype will be edited from all postings.  If you market
  a Windows product, please post it's features, pricing and availability,
  please don't post the company's history/philosophy.

comp.os.msdos.programmer.turbovision

  Borland's text application libraries.

  TurboVision is a set of libraries that are currently provided with
  Borland C++ and Borland Pascal at no extra charge.  These libraries
  have all the features necessary to make full-featured text-based
  applications.  Since Borland C++ and Borland Pascal are only available
  for MS-DOS machines, TurboVision is likewise restricted to DOS
  environments.
  
  comp.os.msdos.programmer.turbovision (c.o.m.p.turbovision) will be an
  unmoderated forum for both C++ and Pascal users of the turbovision 
  libraries.  This can be done because the TurboVision environment is
  designed to be virtually identical in both languages with only some 
  slight syntax differences.

  National Laboratory representatives including significant
  international representation.  The MPI standard can be obtained from
  netlib by sending the message "send draft-final.ps from mpi" to
  netlib@ornl.gov.  Alternatively, one can anonymous ftp to
  netlib2.cs.utk.edu.
  
  More information about MPI can be obtained by reading the MPI FAQ which
  is available by anonymous ftp at aurora.cs.msstate.edu in 
  pub/mpi/faq/mpi-faq.ascii.   The FAQ is also available through the WWW at 
  URL:
          http://www.cs.msstate.edu/dist_computing/mpi-faq.html
  Furthermore, the URL for the full online manual of the standard, and
  reference implementation is as follows:
          http://www.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/
    
  Appropriate discussion in the group will include both general MPI
  issues, platform-specific questions, and discussion comparing MPI to
  other systems.  Some examples:
  
  General MPI Issues
         Answers to novices' questions
         Clarification of the standard document
         Exchange of public-domain MPI source code
         Implementation of various applications
         etc.
  
  Platform-specific issues
         Implementations available
                 Peculiarities and bugs found in various implementations
         etc.

comp.software.config-mgmt

  Configuration management, tools and procedures.

  A forum for discussions issues related to configuration management (CM),
  both the bureaucratic procedures and the tools used to implement CM
  stratgies. CM is an corner-stone in software development, and have a very
  broad spectrum in its appearance. For small shops with non-critical, maybe
  all you need is RCS or SCCS and some makefiles. For saftety-critical
  systems, there might be a huge paperwork, and you may not change any code
  without having an SPR assigned to it.

comp.software.international

  Finding, using, & writing non-English software.

  A forum to discuss software that can handle 'international', i.e.
  non-English, text.  The encouraged topics will include
  1) How to write, where to find, and how to use internationalized 
     software
  2) What hardware/operating systems support internationalized software,
     (e.g. how do I do Asian word processing on
     MS-DOS/MacOS/MS-Windows-NT? what hardware/operating systems
     are available in other countries? What is DOS/V?  How do I 
     read a font from BIOS?  How does X11R6 support Asian keyboard
     input methods?)
  3) How to work with international de jure and de facto standards for
     representation of text, e.g. ASCII, JIS, Shift-JIS, Big5, EUC, 
     GB2312, KSC5601, ISO2022, ISO10646, and Unicode, and why some
     standards are popular in some countries & not others.
  4) How to process text in various languages (e.g. how do you strip
     vowels from Hebrew to get the canonical spelling?  How does one
     sort Chinese?  What is a locale file?)
  5) What magazines, books, and conferences deal with these issues?
  Please try to keep legal and marketing issues out of the group;
  becuase, the intent is to help people find, write, and use 
  non-English mono and multi-lingual software.

comp.sources.hp48

  Programs for the HP48 and HP28 calculators. (Moderated)

  This moderated newsgroup is for all program postings
  and anything that needs to be archived.  All programs can
  and should be posted here.  It will not matter if they are
  rpl source, assembly source, uuencoded binaries, asc encoded
  binaries, or any other format that might come up in the
  foreseeable future.  It would be good to post large
  documents like the internals list here for archiving and to
  keep the bytes down in the discussion group.  This is not a
  requirement, only a suggestion.
  
  Each posting should contain rkive(1) headers so that rkive(1)
  can be used to automatically archive each posting. 
  Hopefully the sites that archive comp.sources.* will also
  archive the HP48 source.  There will be at least one archive
  site, seq.uncwil.edu.
  
  Each posting should also contain a version number so that it
  will be much easier to keep track of newer versions and to
  purge old versions.
  
  Since most HP28 programs run on the HP48, they are welcome.  The 
  postings will be identified by HP28 in the subject line of each
  message.

comp.sources.reviewed

  Source code evaluated by peer review. (Moderated)

  A moderated newsgroup for the distribution of program sources that have 
  been subjected to a Peer Review process.  Similar to the process used for 
  academic journals, submissions are sent to a moderator who then sends the
  sources to Peer Review volunteers for evaluation.  The Reviewers are 
  asked to provided a timely evaluation of the software by compiling and 
  running it on their machine.  If time does not permit them to complete a 
  review, they are responsible for asking the moderator to select another 
  reviewer.  If the Moderator and Peer Reviewers judge a submission to be 
  acceptable, the sources will be posted along with the written comments 
  provided by the Reviewers.  If a submission is not found to be 
  acceptable, the submitter will be provided with the Reviewers' comments, 
  and they will have the option of addressingthose comments and 
  submitting the sources again.

comp.specification.z

  Discussion about the formal specification notation Z.

  A group to handle messages concerned with the formal specification 
  notation Z. Z, based on set theory and first order predicate logic, has 
  been developed at the Programming Research Group (PRG) at Oxford 
  University for well over a decade. It is now used by industry as part of 
  the software (and hardware) development process in both the UK and the 
  US. It is currently undergoing standardization. Comp.specification.z 
  would provide a convenient forum  for messages concerned with recent 
  developments and the use of Z.

comp.speech

  Research & applications in speech science & technology.

  A newsgroup for the discussion of application and research issues 
  associated with speech technology and speech science.
  By nature speech technology is an inter-disciplinary field and the 
  newsgroup should reflect this.  Computer application is the basic
  theme of the group.  This includes:
   
  Speech Recognition - discussion of methodologies, training, 
     techniques, results and applications.  This should cover the 
     application of techniques including HMMs, neural-nets and so on 
     to the field. 
  Speech Synthesis - discussion concerning theoretical and practical
     issues associated with the design on speech synthesis systems.
     Speech Coding and Compression - both research and application matters.
  Phonetic/Linguistic Issues - coverage of linguistic and phonetic issues 
     which are relevant to speech technology applications.  Could cover 
     parsing, natural language processing, and prosodic work.
     Speech System Design - issues relating to the application of
     speech technology to real-world problems.  Includes the design of
     user interfaces, the building of real-time systems and so on.
  Other matters - relevant conferences, books, public domain software, 
     hardware, and related products and so on.

comp.std.announce

  Announcements about standards activities. (Moderated)

    A newsgroup for notifications from ANSI Standards Action
  and other sources of new draft national ands international Standards in
  the information systems and information technology areas that are
  available for public review and how to obtain copies of them and comment
  on them. As time, resources, and permissions permit, it will gradually
  be expanded to include announcements of newly-published final Standards
  and announcements of new standardization projects being initiated. 
  The material is extracted, with permission, from ANSI Standards
  Action and other publications by the ACM Standards Committee to keep
  ACM members informed about standardization activities that may affect
  them.  ACM assumes that all readers of the list are ACM Members and
  encourages those who are not to join.
    Except as indicated otherwise in a particular posting, the posting
  contains all of the information that is available except through the
  Standards Developer itself.  In particular, this is intended as a way of 
  circulating announcements and information.  It is not a discussion list, 
  and attempts to post to it will be ignored.

comp.std.wireless

  Examining standards for wireless network technology. (Moderated)

  A newsgroup to promote consistency and mutual awareness between existing 
  committees (e.g., IEEE 802.11 and ETSI RES-10) and any future 
  committees. This newsgroup expedites their deliberations by providing 
  a convenient forum for technical discussion between their scheduled 
  meetings.  Additionally, the open nature of the newsgroup helps the 
  standardization process by allowing people not normally connected with 
  the standards groups to provide their input.  This newsgroup does not 
  have any official standing with any standards group or other 
  organization. This group is also for exploring applications for wireless 
  network technology.  The emerging standards must, after all, correctly 
  anticipate these applications.
      Acceptable Postings:
          Any questions, comments, results, or suggestions which are 
          related to any of the existing committees discussing wireless
          technologies.  This can include, but is not limited to, 
          current research, development or general applications of
          wireless networks.

comp.sys.apple2.programmer

  Programming on the Apple II.

  Comp.sys.apple2.programmer is a newsgroup for discussion of
  programming techniques, programming information, and hardware information
  pertaining to the Apple II line.  Topics that can be covered include:
  
          1] Programming the Apple in any language, such as C, Basic,
  Assembly, Forth, and Pascal.
  
          2] Source code for programs that may be of interest to the
  Apple II community. This could include full programs, or parts of a
  large algorithm.
  
         3] Programming and the operating systems. There can't be a 
  discussion of Apple programming without including the operating systems, 
  such as Dos 3.3, ProDOS, GS/OS, GNO, and other ones I have forgotten.
  
          4] Information pertaining to the Apple II hardware. This could 
  include memory maps, locations of important ROM locations, the discussion
  of GS/OS toolsthat interact with hardware. This does not include topics
  such as : how to install hardware, how to fix hardware, and what
  software is compatable with what software. Perhaps comp.sys.apple2 could 
  handle these topics, as it currently does.

comp.sys.harris

  Harris computer systems, especially real-time systems.

  A forum for discussing issues relating to Harris Computer Systems' 
  H-Series, HCX, and the Night Hawk family of computers.  It is expected
  that most of the traffic would relate to the Night Hawk (being Harris' 
  latest offering), however, discussions of older platforms are certainly welcome.
  
  Harris' business focus is on real-time computing.  A primary target market
  of the symmetric multiprocessor Night Hawk is real-time simulation and data
  acquisition.  It is hoped that Harris users from all fields (aerospace,
  education, research, engineering, government, manufacturing, simulation,
  etc.) would participate in this newsgroup.
  
  This group provides its readers an opportunity to network with other
  users to share experiences of hardware and software  solutions, 
  request and receive help from other users in solving specific
  problems, and identify solutions for unique applications.  While Harris
  employees are welcome to join the discussions, this group is not intended
  as an alternative to the standard Harris support channels.

comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.flight-sim

  Flight simulators on PCs.

        An unmoderated group for the discussion of flight
  simulation games.  Simulation games are games which simulate a real
  or theoretically plausible air vehicle (using today's current 
  technology as its basis), and allow players to manipulate it as if
  it were real.  Examples include F15 Strike Eagle and Falcon 3.0.
  
        This group does not cover the same subject as
  rec.aviation.simulators, although they are related.  Again,
  rec.aviation.simulators is concerned with realism and related issues,
  while this group is more concerned with game play.

  rec.aviation.simulators Frequently Asked Questions
    This posting contains frequently asked questions for the
      rec.aviation.simulators news group, and should be read by anyone

comp.unix.unixware

  Discussion about Novell's UnixWare products.

      A general-purpose forum for users, developers and resellers of 
      Novell's UnixWare products.
  
      UnixWare is Novell's implementation of Unix System 5 Release 4.2.
      While it is heavily based on R4.2, UnixWare contains significant
      enhancements and bundled products not necessarily shared by other
      licencees of generic System 5. Generic Unix discussions not specifically
      regarding UnixWare, are still to be directed to the existing group
      comp.unix.sys5.r4.
  
      Discussions regarding technical issues, as well as UnixWare's role
      in the marketplace, are welcome. Postings from Novell and third-party
      companies, announcing releases of new products by or supporting UnixWare,
      are explicitly permitted providing each announcement is only done once
      and is clearly marked in the "Subject:" line.

  FAQ: EFF's (Extended) Guide *.*, Life, and Everything...
    This posting tells you everything you ought to know about an
      exciting project that helps so-called Newbies to survive their
      first year on The Net. It gets you softly into most of the often
      severe details of mindboggling complexity that pop up when
      you're hooked into The Net.  It is also intended to help you get
      around the trap doors, avoid pitfalls and other non-funny things
      (e.g. local gurus that laugh at you), you'll encounter during
      life as a Netizen in Cyberspace.  It is styled after a FAQ list,
      ie. "Frequently Asked Questions and their respective Answers".

misc.jobs.offered

  Announcements of positions available.

  A news group for the posting of job offerings by individuals,
  companies, or other organizations with positions to offer.  Job offers may
  be made by any organization with a job opening, or by a professional third
  party recruiting firm which has been hired to fill the opening.  Third party
  recruiters, however, should note that their being allowed to do business via
  Usenet is an unusual exception to the general rule which forbids using the
  network for commercial profit.  They should therefore be especially careful
  to adhere to the guidelines for posting.  Violations and abuses upset readers,
  who may call for prohibiting these commercial postings.
  
  Misc.jobs.offered is for offering jobs, not business opportunities.
  The posting must meet all legal requirements of the country where the
  work will be done.

misc.transport.urban-transit

  Metropolitan public transportation systems.

  A forum for the discussion of urban public transportation systems, 
  emphasizing - but not limited to - rail and bus transit systems in 
  metropolitan centers worldwide.  Including, discussion of all aspects of 
  public transit, including planning, financing, selection of routes and 
  equipment, operating procedures, historical factoids, sociological 
  implications, etc.
  
  It is NOT a supplant of any of the existing newsgroup.  So, it should 
  not be seen as an extension of rec.railroad, whose charter includes at 
  least three areas (long-distance travel, freight railroads, and 
  recreational fan trips) that are at most tangential to 
  misc.transport.urban-transit.

news.admin.technical

  Technical aspects of maintaining network news. (Moderated)

  This group is dedicated to the technical aspects of maintaining the
  netnews environment.  Puzzled by the RFCs?  Trying to diagnose a tricky
  problem on your system?  Then post here.
  
  Personal abuse, repetition of things that have been hashed to death
  already, and articles more appropriate for news.admin.policy (questions of
  law and policy) would be rejected by the moderator with a request to post
  
  The archive that would be built up would be a valuable resource for new
  news administrators.  It's my hope that sites will archive the group from
  its beginning and that the group will be worth archiving.

  reviews for groups _you_ don't care about.)

    - gnus
    - Other platforms (Mac, MSDOS, VM)

rec.arts.comics.xbooks

  The Mutant Universe of Marvel Comics.


  This group is for the discussion of those characters, and books that are 
  part of Marvel Comics' Mutant Universe. Currently the regular Marvel 
  titles that are part of this Universe are Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, X-Force, 
  X-Factor, Wolverine, and Excaliber. Discussions on stories pertaining to 
  the Mutant Universe that appear in anthology titles, such as Marvel 
  Comics presents, should also be posted in this group. It should be noted 
  that all of the books mentioned above are Super Hero books, but comprise 
  their own self-contained discussions that have been a large part of 
  rec.arts.comics since its creation. These books are also responsible for 
  a consistent level posting that indicates a need for a separate 
  discussion group within the hierarchy.

rec.arts.dance

  Any aspects of dance not covered in another newsgroup.

  This is an unmoderated discussion forum on practically all dance forms
  and issues.  Most of the discussion focuses on social dance (in
  particular ballroom, swing, and country & western), but folk, tap,
  clogging, belly dancing, polka, disco, hustle, freestyle, slam, etc.
  are also legitimate topics.  Some discussion of jazz, ballet and folk
  dancing exists, but most of that traffic is in the groups
  rec.folk-dancing and alt.arts.ballet.
  
  It includes discussions about technique, styling, dance troupes,
  specific dancers, camps and workshops, competitions, and equipment,
  as well as conditioning for dance, injuries (their treatment and
  rehabilitation), stretching, etc. Moreover, this group welcomes
  queries concerning what dance clubs or organizations are in your area
  (please use restricted distribution) and how to get started dancing.
  
  This is a great forum to help dancers hook up with one another,
  whether for workshops, competitions, instruction, or simply finding a
  place to dance in a city you will be visiting.
  
  This group is not for commercial use.  Advertising for profit (as
  opposed to occasional recommendations by actual dancers) is not
  welcome. On the other hand, announcements of competitions,
  exhibitions, and special events are appropriate.

  Drum and bugle corps.

  musical repertoires of corps, musical arrangements, drill design, 
  instruction techniques, etc. Postings from  current, past, and 
  prospective D&B members are welcome. 
  
  The rec.arts.marching groups are not intended to discuss marching techniques
  or military activity (e.g. staggering marching steps while crossing bridges
  to avoid the creation of potentially destructive harmonic waves). Discussion
  of any information of potential military value is forbidden. Discussion of
  recreational and performance marching in the military (e.g. The US Service
  Academys' Drum Corps) is permitted. Also, discussion is generally limited to
  units that bring motion to their performance -- concert bands and orchestra
  performances will generally not be discussed in rec.arts.marching.

rec.arts.mystery

  Mystery and crime books, plays and films.

  A forum for the discussion of the fine art of murder as displayed in 
  crime fiction and mystery films, plays, and thrillers.
  
  The objectives are:
      + To offer a public forum to discuss mystery novels and films. 
        This includes the plot and character development, as well as
        formal aspects of the writing or film editing.
      + To create a meeting place for people with interest in reading of
        this genre, for opinions and criticism.
      + To exchange tips on good and bad crime fiction and films, and to
        discuss new publications on the field. Questions that will be
        discussed include: Is the plot realistic?, Are its twists and
        turns surprising?, Is it suspenseful?, Are the characters
        credible and interesting?, Is the book/film "atmospheric"?, 
        What is the standard of the writing?
      + The classical question on how to commit the perfect crime will
        certainly be an aspect of the discussion. Examples in the
        relevant literature may be critically examined (To give the
        group a scientific touch).
      + To establish a place on the net were fans of the classical
        whodunit can have it out with the disciples of the hardboiled
        variation or fans of the "police procedural". 
  
  Spoilers concerning the plot of mysteries should be made visible in
  the header of the postings. We don't want to know whodunit before the
  sleuth tells us or we find out by ourselves. Advertising related to to
  the subject should also be labeled, unrelated advertising should be
  sent to /dev/null rather than rec.arts.mystery.

  A group for discussing the general SF which is seen by its audience in

rec.arts.startrek.reviews

  Reviews of Star Trek books, episodes, films, &c. (Moderated)

  A moderated newsgroup exclusively for reviews of "Star Trek" 
  episodes, books, comics, and related items (just "episodes" in the 
  rest of the charter, for brevity).  It is open to all incarnations of 
  Star Trek: the original series, the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and
  any others that pop up in the future.
  
  A "review" is defined as an original (non-followup) article that expresses
  and justifies an opinion about a particular episode.  The moderator has the
  power to reject articles that aren't appropriate for the group.  Articles
  may not be rejected on the basis of the opinions expressed, but might be
  rejected for either of the following reasons, among others:
  
  - The article states an opinion ("I hated the episode") without any
    discussion of WHY the poster thinks that, or with so little discussion
    ("because it had awful FX") that it's not useful to others seeking
    insight into the episode.
  - The article is very poorly written.  The moderator would be expected to
    be generous here, but has the power to reject completely incoherent
    messages that don't convey any clear opinion.  
  
  Followups will be directed to r.a.s.current or r.a.s.misc, or to other
  more appropriate groups in the r.a.s. heirarchy should any appear in the
  future.

rec.aviation.questions

  Aviation questions and answers. (Moderated)

  A group to receive questions on  aviation which might be answered
  in an simple and reasonably authoritative manner by one or a few
  of the many knowledgeable individuals we have on the net.  Such 
  questions, along with their answers, will be posted as a single article,
  to rec.aviation.questions  and will be cross-posted to the appropriate
  unmoderated rec.aviation subgroup(s).  This process will avoid having
  such questions answered many, many times by well-intentioned readers,
  sometimes correctly and  sometimes incorrectly.  Interested netters
  will be able to follow up to the original question and answer posting
  in the normal manner; these follow-ups will be directed to the 
  appropriate unmoderated rec.aviation subgroup(s).

rec.aviation.stories

  Anecdotes of flight experiences. (Moderated)

  A home for one of the greatest strengths of rec.aviation -- longer
  postings of stories and experiences, including descriptions of
  cross-country trips, "I learned about flying from that", airshow
  reports, and so on.  The moderator will reject shorter articles and
  subjects which aren't appropriate to the group, and will ensure that
  articles meet minimum readability standards (i.e., line lengths).
  Follow-ups will be directed to other groups.  It is expected that this
  group will typically contain only one or two articles a week.
  Articles for anonymous posting will be accepted.

rec.games.abstract

  Perfect information, pure strategy games.

  A newsgroup for the discussion of abstract games where
  strategy, tactics and player skill are paramount.  This includes
  the major category of perfect information, pure-strategy
  (deterministic) games, i.e. those with no element of chance (e.g.
  no dice), and where all information is available (unlike card games
  and Scrabble, for example, where players' hands are hidden).  The
  games under consideration are characterised by a simple board and
  pieces, with a small number of rules.  The cliche `a minute to
  learn, a lifetime to master' is often applied.
  
  o       discussion of less mainstream abstract games,
          which do not warrant a group of their own.
  
  o       design and implementation issues for computer players.
  
  o       develop generic code for computer programs,
          such as board widgets, alpha-beta and other algorithms.
  
  o       introduce each other to new games, thus finding new
          opponents.
  
  o       discuss strategy & tactics for human players.
  
  o       what makes a {good,fun,hard,popular} abstract game?
          Will playing X be detrimental/beneficial to my Y playing? etc.
  
  o       ask `experts' for rule clarification.
  
  o       catalogue known abstract games, variations, genealogy,
          sources of equipment, literature, clubs.
  
  o       maintain a list of email opponents for various games.
  
  o       catalogue available computer programs for these games.
  
  o       maintain a FAQ, outriggers could be posted to other groups,
          get a mention in appropriate FAQs.
  
  o       propose and discuss new games or mechanisms
  
  o       puzzles for games other than chess et al.
  
  o       organise tournaments for various (obscure) games.
  
  o       organise an ftp archive, where useful information and games
          programs can be held.
  
  o       vote for the best and the worst abstract game of the year
          (or month or ever!)
  
  o       generally have fun in a decent way

rec.games.computer.doom.announce

  Info/FAQs/reviews about DOOM. (Moderated)

  This is one of 5 rec.games.computer.doom.* newsgroups dedicated to the
  discussion of DOOM, a 3D action computer game published by id Software.
  This includes any and all versions, sequels (DOOM II), ports and addons,
  as well as 3D action games (like Heretic) published by other companies
  that use DOOM-like concepts and techniques licensed from id Software.
  [Discussions pertaining to other 3D action games are more appropriate in
   comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action and other, dedicated newsgroups.]
  
  The other rec.games.computer.doom.* groups are:
    rec.games.computer.doom.help     DOOM Help Service (new players welcome)
    rec.games.computer.doom.misc     Talking about DOOM and id Software
    rec.games.computer.doom.playing  Playing DOOM and user-created levels
    rec.games.computer.doom.editing  Editing and hacking DOOM-related files
  
  This rec.games.computer.doom.announce newsgroup is where any announcements
  of general interest to DOOM players appear.  If you can only read one RGCD
  newsgroup, keep up-to-date on this one.
  
  Postings must be on the subject of Id software's recent and forthcoming
  action games. DOOM and DOOM II are obviously included; so are Heretic and
  Quake. The posting must be informative and of interest to the DOOM-playing
  community at large. Acceptable subjects include FAQs and pointers to them,
  FTP site news, announcements of new utilities such as level editors, PWAD
  announcements and reviews, tournament news and so on, as well as all
  articles from employees or representatives of Id software.

rec.games.trading-cards.misc

  Other trading card game discussions.

  For Trading card game discussions which do not fit under any of the other
  newsgroups in the hierarchy.  Examples include existing games which
  do not generate much traffic (such as TSR's Spellfire), new games
  which do not yet have a game-specific newsgroup within the hierarchy,
  and any other topic which does not fit within the charter of the
  other newsgroups.  As new trading card games are introduced, they
  will be discussed here first, and if the traffic levels warrant
  it, a proposal will be generated to create a new group specifically
  for any such game.
  
  It is highly recommended that postings in .misc related to a
  specific game have a subject line beginning with the game's name
  (or a suitable standard abbreviation) in uppercase letters within
  brackets, such as "[SPELLFIRE] Question about drawing cards".  This
  provides easy identification of posts for particular games, allowing
  readers to more easily select or ignore articles for those games.
  Standard names/abbreviations will be decided as games come out, and
  are regularly published in the FAQ for this group.

rec.music.reviews

  Reviews of music of all genres and mediums. (Moderated)

  A group for all sorts of music reviews:
  albums, singles, concerts. It is also
  explicitly open for all sorts of music; not only the
  sort of music which normally is covered in r.m.misc
  and alt.r-n-r, but also classical music, jazz, folk
  etc. Stewart and I are somewhat undecisive on videos.
  None of us are very interested in them, but it seems
  easier to make the arguments to include them than to
  exclude them.
  
  This group is not for non-reviews, or reviews of the kind 
  "they suck" or "best thing this year" without any further
  motivations. Also, reviews like "I've just bought the
  album by Y and I'm playing it now and it seems great" are
  probably better off in r.m.misc or elsewhere.
    Apart from that, there will be no constraints on format
  of reviews or ranking system, but the reviewer will have
  the same freedom as today when he posts to r.m.*.
  
  R.m.reviews is intended to be a discussionless group.
  Follow-ups will therefore be directed to the group(s)
  as the reviewer specifies. Default will be rec.music.misc.

rec.radio.info

  Informational postings related to radio. (Moderated)

  To provide high quality, informational postings about radio.  This
  group will take cross-postings, or moderated postings from the regular
  discussion streams to alleviate the traffic, over expensive links, in
  these groups by allowing the news transfer mechanism to drop articles
  cross posted to rec.radio.info. Postings in the entire rec.radio.*
  hierarchy that the moderator(s) feel as informational, however, are
  likely candidates for cross posting or re-posting. Also by placing the
  informational postings in this group, make it easier for many to find
  radio related information.
  
  By maintaining a high level of quality in the postings, it is hoped
  that these postings may end up, at least more conveniently, in various
  archive sites, or possibly over the Amateur Radio Packet BBS network
  as well.
  
  By using a self-moderator scheme, the hopes are that many of the
  postings will maintain timeliness, and good propagation through the
  computer networks.

sci.cognitive

  Perception, memory, judgement and reasoning.

  Cognitive science is an inter-disciplinary investigation of cognition,
  involving cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, computer
  science, human-computer interaction, philosophy of mind, philosophy of
  science, linguistics, neuroscience, cognitive anthropology and other
  disciplines. The 'mind's new science' has been around since the
  mid-50's, and has entered an institutional phase with textbooks,
  journals, centres of research and teaching etc. However, due to its
  inter-disciplinary and international character, channels of
  communication devoted specifically to cognitive science are still
  needed, and the group sci.cognitive is intended to serve this end.
  
  This group serves as an open forum for discussion of all aspects
  of cognitive science: empirical work, cognitive modelling, theory,
  methodology, foundational, historical and social issues etc.
  
  This group also facilitates the exchange of information on
  teaching programmes, conferences, jobs etc.
  
  The main language of the group is English, but postings in other
  languages are also encouraged.

sci.engr.control

  The engineering of control systems.

  This forum aims to encourage discussion and free exchange of ideas
  amongst practicing control engineers, researchers and students on any
  subject related to the practice or theory of control systems and
  control engineering.
  
  A group to cover any subject related to control engineering including
  theory, research, and practice but particularly the use and future development 
  of computer-based applications for the analysis, design, simulation and
  implementation of control systems. Examples of suitable topics would be
  
        o data definitions for control systems design packages
        o user interfaces for control systems design packages
        o system modelling languages
        o simulation packages
          o environments for the integration of CAD tools for control
        o the application of new computer science techniques
            in control systems design and implementation
        o commercial control systems design and analysis packages
        o new theories
          o applications of control (e.g. process industries, aerospace, 
            transport, manufacturing, ...)
          o real-time software
          o social and environmental impact of control systems
          o none engineering applications (e.g. economics, social, ...)
          o control systems education 
  
  This group aims to stimulate the exchange of ideas about what software
  systems should be devloped to support the analysis, design and
  implementation of control systems with a longer term-aim of the
  development of guidelines or examples of good practice that will
  eventually bring freedom to users and developers of computer-based
  tools.  It also aims to provide timely notice of new academic ideas and
  control methods and to encourage the take-up of advanced control by
  industry.  This group also aims and to try to break down the communication
  barriers that traditionally exist in the control community and to
  introduce them to the joys of the Internet, thereby widening their
  horizons and opening their eyes to the benefits of the free exchange of
  ideas that other users of computers have known for some time.

  set up and manage an electronic archive accessible through ftp, gopher, 
  www, and mosaic, that will be used as a repository for contributed 
  manuscripts (and comments), software and data source identifiers, and 
  will operate in conjunction with this news group.

soc.history.moderated

  All aspects of history. (Moderated)

  A group to allow a free-flowing discussion of historical events

  The moderator has broad powers to determine what topics are of general
  interest.  A non-exclusive list of post characteristics the moderator can
  use to determine the acceptance or rejection of a post for general posting
  in the group are:
  
                o ad-hominem attacks
                o flames
                o pathological cross-postings for a given posts
                  (for example, cross-postings to/from groups that
                   bear little relation to the nature of the post)
                o use of inappropriate vulgarisms in a post
                o general tastlessness in a post
                o a non-replyable e-mail address
  
  If the moderator so desires, she/he will respond to a rejected post stating
  the reasons for rejection, and if she/he so desires, suggesting modifications
  that will allow a modified post into the group.
  
  Lively, animated discussions on historical events or topics where there is
  genuine controversy, or where there is general consensus, are encouraged.
  Requests for information are also encouraged.
