Sender: mooers@NNSC.NSF.NET

The NSF Network Service Center (NNSC) is pleased to announce a
distribution of new and updated entries for the Internet Resource Guide.

We have not sent out any new entries since the first of the year, and
we are working, first, to catch up with updates to current entries,
and second, to increase the size of the collection.

This message is being sent to the combined FTP, PostScript and Text
lists.  This is an announcement message for the FTP (announcements
only) list.

1.  Test mailing.

On May 17, we sent out a test mailing to the PostScript, Text and FTP
mailing lists for the Internet Resource Guide.  We want to thank all
the subscribers who sent back changes or acknowledgements,

2.  Distribution of new and updated entries.

Today the Internet Resource Guide announces three new entries and 12
updated entries, each of which is available as a PostScript and a Text
(ASCII) file.  In addition, the ftp help file, "README", and the
file-list, "index-resource-guide", have been updated.

We will send the new and updated entries to the Postscript and Test
mailing lists, starting today, with no more than three entries per
day, to avoid overburdening mailboxes.  These will be followed by
"README" and "index-resource-guide".

3.  Updates and Name Changes for Intro and FTP Files

In reponse to suggestions from several subscribers, we have changed
our filenames so that each "intro" file is unique.  "intro" is the
file that contains the introductory essay for the entire collection.
"intro1", "intro2', etc., contain the introduction and table of
contents for Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc.  

As soon as we finished sending out the current set of new and updated
entries, we will distribute the updated "intro.." files through the
PostScript and Text mailing lists.  We will also announce updates to
the tarred and compressed files that allow you to FTP chapters or
the whole guide at one time.  See README for more information.


4.  Wanted: New Entries for the Resource Guide.

The NNSC is actively seeking new entries for the Resource Guide.
If you know of a resource that should be included, please send a
message to "resource-guide@nnsc.nsf.net" and we will be happy to
send instructions and a template to the address you suggest.


5.  Farewell and Many Thanks to Jane Dineen

Jane Dineen, who has managed the Internet Resource Guide since April
1990, is now working on projects in her professional field of art
history and archaeology.  We all thank Jane for her invaluable work
with the NNSC's Internet Resource Guide and Internet Tour.
