COSMIC's COSLINE: About COSLINE COSLINE is a 24 hour electronic information service to COSMIC's customers. You can access COSLINE via telnet to cosline.cosmic.uga.edu or by setting your modem to (1200/2400, 8,N, 1) and dialing either (404) 542-7354 or (404) 542-7355. Although several terminal types are supported, you are encouraged to use the DEC VT-100 driver which is provided by default. Questions on using COSLINE or suggestions for improvement may be directed to us in various ways: COSLINE use the "Comments to SYSOP" option under the "Utilities" selection on the main menu EMAIL send an email message to us at service@cossack.cosmic.uga.edu VOICE call us at (404) 542-3265 and ask for COSLINE Support FAX send it to COSLINE Support at (404) 542-4807 U.S. MAIL COSLINE Support COSMIC The University of Georgia 382 East Broad Street Athens, GA 30602 Using COSLINE Connect to COSLINE using either the telnet or dialup method as described above. When you have become connected you will be prompted for your name and a password. If you have not previously used COSLINE, you may simply press your ENTER key to proceed to the next prompt which allows you to identify the type of terminal you are using. COSLINE is a full screen application and although the use of special keys is kept to a minimum, we do require that your terminal or emulator understand a minimal number of screen control escape sequences for the terminal type you select. Experience suggests that the DEC VT100 driver (vt100) so we have made that the default. The main COSLINE menu is oriented horizontally and the user may highlight a particular selection using the left and right cursor keys. Certain main menu options entail submenus and the user may select from these vertical submenus by using the up and down cursor keys. Once the desired selection has been highlighted, simply press the key marked ENTER or RETURN and located near the alphabetic character keys. Beyond the catalog Search option most of the screens are informational in nature and are therefore implemented as text file browsers. Browsing is facilitated by the use of the (F)orward and (B)ack alphabetic keys. To return to the menu you may always select (Q)uit. Certain browsers also allow you to (L)ocate a particular string and a number may allow you to (S)ave to buffer. By default, new users are provided with a "buffer" of approximately ten thousand characters. The COSLINE user may elect to write certain pieces of information into this buffer during his current session. The DOWNLOAD option on the main menu provides the user with two ways of placing the contents of this file on his/her local machine or printer. One may elect to send the file to oneself as email or to collect it as a straight ASCII text stream. The email option prompts for an address and then sends the text almost immediately. No checking is done on the address provided by the user and we assume that your host is reachable by the internet. The text stream option was designed primarily for dialup users whose communications package supports a text capture or log file feature wherein any text sent to the screen is also placed in a file. Any requisite flow control is assumed to be provided by the communications link and is not moderated by COSLINE itself. Catalog Search The principle feature of COSLINE is the catalog Search facility. There is a separate help file available for browsing from the Search main menu option. Please feel free to experiment to isolate particular program of interest to you. Program information is savable to your buffer and downloadable as described above. Disconnecting from COSLINE Please be certain to disconnect using the Exit option from the main menu. This allows house cleaning to be executed in an orderly manner and also returns control to the communications program on your end. Contact: Pat Mortenson COSMIC The University of Georgia 382 E.

It is released as time permits and information demands, currently every 1-2 weeks. This newsletter is dedicated to the proposition that computers, to be useful, must be usable to people working in all languages, at the convenience of those users. In that spirit, we print all questions pertaining to use of the Hebrew alphabet on computers and answer all those that we can. We encourage discussion on all levels of computer facility--from new users considering looking for software or Hebrew-related resources (educational, graphic, or otherwise), to developer discussions on how the software should work (when it works :-)). We also do our best to report on new software (or updates) of interest and to serve as a general news source to the field.

The Free Software Foundation is dedicated to eliminating restrictions on copying, redistribution, understanding, and modification of computer programs. We do this by promoting the development and use of free software in all areas of computer use. Specifically, we are putting together a complete integrated software system named "GNU" (GNU's Not Unix) that will be upwardly compatible with Unix. Some large parts of this system are already working, and we are distributing them now. The word "free" in our name refers to two specific freedoms: first, the freedom to copy a program and give it away to your friends and co-workers; second, the freedom to change a program as you wish, by having full access to source code. Furthermore, you can study the source and learn how such programs are written. You may then be able to port it, improve it, and share your changes with others. Other organizations distribute whatever free software happens to be available. By contrast, FSF concentrates on development of new free software, working towards a GNU system complete enough to eliminate the need to purchase a proprietary system. Besides developing GNU, the Foundation has secondary functions: producing tapes and printed manuals of GNU software, carrying out distribution, and accepting gifts to support GNU development. We are tax exempt; you can deduct donations to us on your tax returns. Our development effort is funded partly from donations and partly from distribution fees. Note that the distribution fees purchase just the service of distribution: you never have to pay anyone license fees to use GNU software, and you always have the freedom to make your copy from a friend's computer at no charge (provided your friend is willing). To Subscribe: For a paper GNUs Bulletin, send a self-addressed stamped envelope (US Postage only) to: Free Software Foundation 675 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139 1-617-876-3296 gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu Including a small donation in U.S. funds would be appreciated. We do not maintain a subscription list for the Bulletin. It's too much overhead. Instead, read it in the gnUSENET newsgroup gnu.announce. If you don't have access to USENET news, then subscribe to the electronic mailing list info-gnu (which is equivalent). (Make your request of info-gnu-request@prep.ai.mit.edu).

The Newsletter (1) provides information on care and breeding of nonhuman primates for laboratory research, (2) disseminates general information and news about the world of primate research (such as announcements of meetings, research projects, sources of information, nomenclature changes), (3) helps meet the special research needs of individual investigators by publishing requests for research material or for information related to specific research problems, and (4) serves the cause of conservation of nonhuman primates by publishing information on that topic. As a rule, research articles or summaries accepted for the Newsletter have some practical implications or provide general information likely to be of interest to investigators in a variety of areas of primate research. However, special consideration will be given to articles containing data on primates not conveniently publishable elsewhere. General descriptions of current research projects on primates will also be welcome.

Reviews are commissioned by the editor; they are published within a week of receipt. However, the Review is organized into 12 monthly issues for each annual volume. The first issue was March, 1991. We try to review books within six months of their publication (although we are still catching up from the backlog of unreviewed books existing when we began operation). Length of reviews varies from 750 to 2500 words. ISSN: 1062-7421 To Subscribe: (NB - you must subscribe to the list, PSRT-L to receive the Review.) Send the following to LISTSERV@UMCVMB: SUBSCRIBE PSRT-L your name Submissions: None; all reviews are commissioned. Related List: PSRT-L is a moderated discussion list on Bitnet which deals with issues of interest to professional political scientists, both researchers and teachers. Submissions from all sub-fields of political science as well as related disciplines are encouraged. The list is not intended to serve as a public forum for debate over current issues in politics, as other lists already fill that niche. Rather it is intended to provide an opportunity for political scientists to present their ideas and ongoing research for discussion, to consider the directions in which the discipline is advancing, and to encourage the dissemination of new concepts in research and teaching. In addition to ongoing discussions, the list editors would like to post announcements of job openings and upcoming conferences. PSRT-L also publishes The Law and Politics Book Review. Finally, a series of files are available though listserv.

The cataract of information available to those with network access make all but the most cursory examinations of lists possible. Akin to book and restaurant reviews, each issue begins with a narrative description of usually one week's worth of monitoring, then presents simple statistical data such as the number of messages and lines, number of queries and non-queries, number of subscribers and countries represented, list owner, location, and how to subscribe. The editor sees the publication as a means to cross-fertilize user perceptions of network resources (i.e., active proselytization for cyberspace). The service attempts to explore as wide a range of lists as possible, from the hard sciences to the fuzziest of the humanities. ISSN: 1060-8192 Posted bi-weekly on LIBREF-L.

We prefer the texts to be made available in pure ASCII formats so they would be most easily converted to use in various hardware and software. A file of this nature will also be made available in various markup formats as it is used in various environments. However we accept files in ANY format, and will do our best to provide them in all. We assist in the selection of hardware and software as well as in their installation and use. We also assist in scanning, spelling checkers, proofreading, etc. Our goal is to provide a collection of 10,000 of the most used books by the year 2001, and to reduce, and we do mean reduce, the effective costs to the user to a price of approximately one cent per book, plus the cost of media and of shipping and handling. Thus we hope the entire cost of libraries of this nature will be about $100 plus the price of the disks and CDROMS and mailing. Currently the price of making CDROMS is said to be about $500 for mastering and then $5 per copy. I have it on fairly good authority that these prices are negotiable, and as actual cost, the price per CDROM is about $1.80. Therefore, we call on all interested parties to get involved with the creation and distribution of electronic texts, whether it's a commitment to typing, scanning, proofreading, collecting, or what ever your pleasure might be. Please do not hesitate to send any e-texts you might find to this address. If you prefer sending disks, a mailing address follows. We hope to be thanking you soon for your participation.

I've also recently begun covering some 'underground'/independent types of material. Issues feature both above and below ground reviews, news and information.

Upon receipt of your mail, you will be added to the subscription list and will have N-Audio Bits sent to you starting with the next issue. I've gotten fairly comfortable with putting out an issue every two months. I've considered trying to do this monthly, but the amount of time and work involved (in addition to a real job and family life) make monthly publication unlikely in the near future.

Back Issues: Back issues are currently available via anonymous FTP at dg-rtp.dg.com (128.222.1.2).

If Internet access is not available, e-mail can be sent to me at MURPH@MAINE.BITNET and I will e-mail back issues. Submissions: If you are interested in reviewing either audio hardware or software, feel free to discuss the details of reviews with the editor. It would be best to query the editor to make sure that the item you wish to review is acceptable. Reviewers are encouraged to cover any and all types of music. Completed reviews should be sent to the editor MURPH@MAINE.BITNET. I would like to keep hardware reviews to a minimum, perhaps one or two reviews per issue, as I would like to focus on audio software and especially Compact Discs. Album/CD Review Guidelines: What I look for in a review is writing that shows that you have not only heard the album, Compact Disc or cassette which you are reviewing, but that you have also listened to it. The manufacturing of CDs has caught up enough so that I'd like to feature new releases.Or, in the case of a title which is finally being released on CD, new reissues. Heck, I guess there are a number of LPs that might be worthy of mention if they are being reissued as well. Unfortunately, the LP is becoming scarce in the world of hi-tech digital wizardry. I would also prefer that cassettes be reviewed only when a cassette is the only medium that the title has been released on. Here's what I'd like as a general format for reviews. All of the information concerning the Disc or LP should be able to be found on the album where all credits are given. The performance and sound quality scales are your opinions. Title Artist Producer(s) Engineer(s) Label/Catalog # Playing Time Song Titles Rating (between 1 and 5 stars ) optional What format was reviewed (CD, LP, Cassette) Release date SPARS code (For CDs - will explain below) ---------- And review text, of course... The SPARS code represents a standard proposed by the Society of Professional Audio Recording Studios (SPARS). Many CDs have this three letter code printed somewhere on their information booklets. The three letters correspond to the type of recorder used for recording, mixing and mastering of the disc (analog or digital). For example, a disc with the code "ADD" would show that the disc was an analog recording, mixed and mastered digitally. Contact: Michael A.

PCP is a computer-supported collaborative attempt to develop an integrated evolutionary-systemic philosophy or world view. Its contributors are distributed over several continents and they keep contact mainly by electronic mail (mailing list PRNCYB-L), also by annual meetings, the printed (and electronic) Newsletter, and postal mail. PCP focuses on the clear formulation of basic concepts and principles of the cybernetic approach. This should lead to a semantic network of concepts and links, implemented as a hypertext. The PCP philosophy starts from the self-organization of multi-level systems through blind variation and natural selection. This leads to a process metaphysics, a constructive-selectionist epistemology, and an evolutionary ethics.

Titnet posts three formal series: 1) TITNET is the listing of electronic mail subscribers, their email addresses, their institutional affiliations, and their research interests (in terms of species of birds studied and biological topics of study). TITNET is cumulative, each posting repeating information of previous posting that is still current. 2) TITNEWS is the forum for exchange concerning academic activities. It consists of two types of postings: single-topic issues and multiple announcements. 3) TITNOTES is the forum for exchange of information about tits (and other hole-nesting birds). TITNET, TITNEWS AND TITNOTES are numbered serially with Arabic numerals and posting date. Followups on single-topic TITNEWS and TITNOTES postings are given a letter designation following the Arabic numeral of the original posting. TitNet and its postings TITNET, TITNEWS and TITNOTES is less than a year old, having been created by the International Tit Society at its meeting in December 1990 in conjunction with the International Ornithological Congress in Christchurch, New Zealand. Because Titnet and expected to grow only moderately, it is not handled by a listserver and does not expect to create archives accessible by anonymous ftp.
