The following is a list of currently active USENET newsgroups as of
1 Jan 1995.  This list does not include the gatewayed Internet
newsgroups (see below).  The groups distributed worldwide are divided
into seven broad classifications: "news", "soc", "talk", "misc",
"sci", "comp" and "rec".  Each of these classifications is organized
into groups and subgroups according to topic.

"comp"  Topics of interest to both computer professionals and
	hobbyists, including topics in computer science, software
	source, and information on hardware and software systems.

"sci"   Discussions marked by special and usually practical knowledge,
	relating to research in or application of the established
	sciences.

"misc"  Groups addressing themes not easily classified under any of the
	other headings or which incorporate themes from multiple
	categories.

"soc"	Groups primarily addressing social issues and socializing.

"talk"	Groups largely debate-oriented and tending to feature long
	discussions without resolution and without appreciable amounts
	of generally useful information.

"news"	Groups concerned with the news network and software themselves.

"rec"	Groups oriented towards the arts, hobbies and recreational
        activities.

These "world" newsgroups are (usually) circulated around the entire
USENET -- this implies world-wide distribution.  Not all groups
actually enjoy such wide distribution, however.  Some sites take only
a selected subset of the more "technical" groups, and controversial
"noise" groups are often not carried by many sites (these groups are
often under the "talk" and "soc" classifications).  Many sites do not
carry some or all of the comp.binaries groups.

There are groups in other subcategories, but they are local: to
institutions, to geographic regions, etc. and they are not listed
here.  Note that these distribution categories can be used to restrict
the propagation of news articles.  Currently, distributions include:
	world		worldwide distribution (default)
	can		limited (mostly) to Canada
	eunet		limited (mostly) to European sites in EUNet
	na		limited (mostly) to North America
	usa		limited (mostly) to the United States
There may be other regional and local distribution categories available
at your site.  Most US states have distribution categories named after
the two letter abbreviation for that state or category (e.g., "ga" for
Georgia, "nj" for New Jersey). Please use an appropriate distribution
category if your article is not likely to be of interest to USENET
readers worldwide.

Please notify me of any errors or changes to the information in this article.

Introduction
------------
The Usenet software allows the support and transport of hierarchies of
newsgroups not part of the "traditional" Usenet through use of the
distribution mechanism. These hierarchies of groups are available to
sites wishing to support them and able to find a feed.	In general,
these groups are not carried by the entire network because of their
volume, restricted spheres of interest, or a different set of
administrative rules and concerns.

In general, it is a bad idea to forward these newsgroups to your
neighbors without asking them first; they should only be received at a
site by choice.	 Not only is this generally-accepted net etiquette, it
helps to preserve the freedom to do and say as the posters please in
these newsgroups, as the only people who get them are those who asked
to get them.  This freedom is more restricted in the Usenet as a
whole, because every mainstream posting and every mainstream newsgroup
name must be acceptable to a much wider audience than is present in
these hierarchies.  Because of the sheer size of the mainstream
Usenet, extra-long or controversial postings are more likely to cause
problems when posted to the Usenet; however, these alternative
hierarchies exist precisely to support those kinds of postings (if
germane to the hierarchy).

Usually, there is is no restriction on getting these groups as long as
you have the capacity to receive, store, and forward the groups;
software after B 2.11 news is required to make the distribution
mechanism work properly for these groups.  How to join each
distribution is described below.

Note that the "uunet" service carries all of these hierarchies.
Contact uunet-request@uunet.uu.net for subscription details.

Also note -- the lists in this article are totally unofficial and
possibly incomplete or inaccurate.  I try to keep the lists up-to-date,
but make no guarantee that any of the information contained corresponds
with the named groups in any significant way.  Corrections and comments
should be mailed to the reply address in the header of this article.

Info

The "info" hierarchy is a collection of mailing lists gatewayed into
news at the University of Illinois.  The lists are selected based on
local interests but have proven popular at a number of sites.  Groups
are removed when they become available via more mainstream
hierarchies.  Sites are encouraged to mark *'ed groups as 'n' in their
active file.  These groups are generally concerned with getting real
work done and readers dislike extraneous postings.  Postings can still
be made by emailing to the listed contact address.

EYE
---
EYE magazine, based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is a free newspaper
issued once a week.  The scope of articles is greater than just
Toronto, so the hierarchy is available on a worldwide basis.  For more
information, contact eye@interlog.com (Ken Campbell).  NNTP feeds can
be arranged through him if you cannot get the groups from your regular
feeds.

eye.config	Proposals for new eye.* newsgroups, etc.
eye.general	eye Followups and General Discussions.
eye.letters	eye readers write. (Moderated)
eye.news	eye News articles. (Moderated)

GNU
---
gnUSENET (gnUSENET is Not USENET) is a set of newsgroups that are
gated bi-directionally with the Internet mailing lists of the GNU
Project of the Free Software Foundation.  GNU (GNU's Not Unix) will be
a complete operating system, including application programs, with
freely redistributable source code.  Please use ONLY gnu.misc.discuss
for discussion of topics considered contrary to GNU aims and political
philosophy (e.g., porting of GNU code to Apple machines, usefulness of
intellectual property laws, etc.).

The GNU mailing lists and newsgroups, like the GNU project itself,
exist to promote the freedom to share software.	 So please don't use
these newsgroups (or the other GNU lists) to promote or recommend
non-free software.  (Using them to post ordering information is the
ultimate faux pas.)  If there is no free program to do a certain task,
then somebody should write one!

Current groups include:

gnu.announce		Status and announcements from the Project. (Moderated)
gnu.bash.bug		Bourne Again SHell bug reports and suggested fixes. (Mo
derated)
gnu.chess		Announcements about the GNU Chess program.
gnu.emacs.announce	Announcements about GNU Emacs. (Moderated)
gnu.emacs.bug		GNU Emacs bug reports and suggested fixes. (Moderated)
gnu.emacs.gnews		News reading under GNU Emacs using Weemba's Gnews.
gnu.emacs.gnus		News reading under GNU Emacs using GNUS (in English).
gnu.emacs.help		User queries and answers.
gnu.emacs.sources	ONLY (please!) C and Lisp source code for GNU Emacs.
gnu.emacs.vm.bug	Bug reports on the Emacs VM mail package.
gnu.emacs.vm.info	Information about the Emacs VM mail package.
gnu.emacs.vms		VMS port of GNU Emacs.
gnu.epoch.misc		The Epoch X11 extensions to Emacs.
gnu.g++.announce	Announcements about the GNU C++ Compiler. (Moderated)

gnu.gcc.help		GNU C Compiler (gcc) user queries and answers.
gnu.gdb.bug		gcc/g++ DeBugger bugs and suggested fixes. (Moderated)
gnu.ghostscript.bug	GNU Ghostscript interpreter bugs. (Moderated)
gnu.gnusenet.config	GNU's Not Usenet administration and configuration.
gnu.gnusenet.test	GNU's Not Usenet alternative hierarchy testing.
gnu.groff.bug		Bugs in the GNU roff programs. (Moderated)
gnu.misc.discuss	Serious discussion about GNU and freed software.
gnu.smalltalk.bug	Bugs in GNU Smalltalk. (Moderated)
gnu.utils.bug		GNU utilities bugs (e.g., make, gawk. ls). (Moderated)

Use gnu.emacs.help to discuss software on gnu.emacs.sources and to ask
for sources.  gnu.emacs.sources is archived by many sites and they
want sources ONLY!

The gnu.*.bug groups are pseudo-moderated (that is, the group is
marked moderated so that postings are mailed to prep.ai.mit.edu and
then redistributed to the both the mailing list and newsgroup from
there).  The gnu.*announce groups are all fully moderated.

If one of your USENET feeds cannot provide you with a feed of the
gnUSENET newsgroups, send mail to gnu.gnusenet.config@prep.ai.mit.edu
to ask for a feed.

Questions about GNU can be directed to gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu or:

HEPnet
------
HEPnet is a collections of networks interconnecting high-energy and
nuclear physics research sites.	 The HEPnet netnews hierarchy was
created to facilitate discussions in the HEP and NP communitites.  The
hierarchy is is maintained by National HEPnet Management.  All groups
are bi-directionally gatewayed to mailing lists and automatically
archived.  Questions, requests for feeds, and group deletions/additions
should be sent to netnews@hep.net (Internet), netnews@hepnet (BITNET),
or hepnet::netnews (HEP-ES DECnet).

IEEE
----
The IEEE newsgroups concern the IEEE -- the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers.

ieee.announce		General Announcements for IEEE community.
ieee.config		Postings about managing the ieee.* groups.
ieee.general		IEEE - General discussion.
ieee.pcnfs		Discussion & tips on PC-NFS.

d)
ieee.usab.announce	USAB - Announcements.
ieee.usab.general	USAB - General discussion.

The IEEE is willing to distribute these newsgroups via NNTP to any site
that desires to carry them.  If you would like a feed of these
newsgroups, have the news admin for your site contact 'usenet@ieee.org'
for a feed.

Inet/DDN
--------
Another alternative hierarchy is the "inet/ddn" distribution.  This
consists of many newsgroups bearing names similar to traditional Usenet
groups and corresponding to Internet discussion lists.	These groups are
circulated using the NNTP transport mechanism amongst sites on the
Internet in an attempt to reduce the number of copies of these groups
flowing through the mail (some sites get these groups via UUCP and
other transport mechanisms, but the volume can be substantial and load
may be significant without a high-speed link).	Further details may be
obtained by writing to Erik Fair <fair@apple.com>.

Current inet groups are:

comp.ai.edu		Applications of Artificial Intelligence to Education.
comp.ai.vision		Artificial Intelligence Vision Research. (Moderated)
comp.dcom.lans.hyperchannel	Hyperchannel networks within an IP network.
comp.editors		Topics related to computerized text editing.
