<info-appletalk@andrew.cmu.edu>.
--------
PageMaker
--------
Dwight, you might want to add PAGEMAKR out of INDYCMS to your list of
Mac interest lists. Although it is not entirely Mac, some people try
to do Pagemaker under Windows, it has been very useful to me as a Mac
user. Some of the discussions have centered around clip art, printers,
scanners and the like.
You subcribe by request to LISTSERV at INDYCMS.IUPUI.EDU or INDYCMS
(for BITNET).
--------------
Microsoft Word

Mailing list to discuss anything and everything about HyperCard for
Apple Macintosh microcomputers. The list is open and unmoderated.

line, and send a one-line message as follows:

or LISTSERV@uafsysb.uark.edu
The DIRECT-L list was formed to provide a forum for discussions of
the software program MacroMind Director for the Macintosh.

Internet list! To subscribe to this new list, send an Email message to

required. Just say you want to subscribe, and I'll add your name to the list.
-----------
Programming
-----------
MACPROG@WUVMD.WUSTL.EDU
Hosted by Washington University, the MACPROG list is the Internet
answer to the excellent Usenet programming forum. Hopefully the
easier access of an Internet-based list will promote even better
communication between Macintosh developers of commercial, in-house,
and shareware software. In addition, this list will move some of the
more technical topics out from lists devoted to user-oriented issues.
The focus of MacProg will be to discuss mainstream language coding
techniques. What's a mainstream language? C & Pascal principally,
although other languages like LISP, Prologue, Fortran, Basic,
HyperTalk, and application scripting are certainly welcome.
Send mail to
LISTSERV@WUVMD.WUSTL.EDU or LISTSERV@WUVMD.BITNET
with the following command in the BODY of the mail:
SUBSCRIBE MACPROG your name
