What follows is more-or-less boilerplate copy that may be of interest in answering Jeremy's questioners. ======================================================================== 31 Here are the names and nodes of some discussion lists dealing with RTF topics: FILM-L@VMTECMEX SCREEN-L@UA1VM TV-L@TREARN CINEMA-L@AUVM SCRNWRIT@TAMVM1 [log in to unmask] [send SUB request to this address] [log in to unmask] or IUBVM.UCS.INDIANA.EDU [re: film music] [log in to unmask] or ECNUXA.BITNET This list was more-or-less accurate as of January 1993; but things do change. You can subscribe to these lists by sending the message: SUBSCRIBE listname yourFirstName LastName to LISTSERV@node for example: send mail to LISTSERV@AUVM leave subject line blank with the message: SUBSCRIBE CINEMA-L YourFirstName LastName Requests to subscribe or signoff must be sent to LISTSERV at the node address. Messages to the whole list are addressed to [log in to unmask] To get off a mailing list send the command UNSUBSCRIBE listname to [log in to unmask] The command SIGNOFF will usually also do the job. the rest is automatic. =================================================================== What follows is some boilerplate copy that might help locate lists of interest: SIGLISTS FILELIST and ACADLIST are academic; there is also a long, descriptive list of all kinds of groups but I don't remember any more. In searching for a discussion group on particular topics first consult the file which can be obtained from [log in to unmask] sending the mailed command GET LISTSOF LISTS (note: both plural and no space after first word "lists"). Other files that report on discussion groups: LISTSERV@DARTCMS1 has a file called SIGLISTS FILELIST LISTSERV@KENTVM has several files; the introduction is ACADLIST README Both can be obtained by mail to the listserv with the GET command As a >>last<< resort send a mail query to [log in to unmask] That list issues a monthly digest of queries seeking lists on various topics from, say, tropical fish to arcane diseases with stops along the way at computer topics and other professional concerns. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cal Pryluck, Radio-Television-Film, Temple University, Philadelphia <[log in to unmask]> <PRYLUCK@TEMPLEVM>
