Archive is to create a historical record; the goal of Testing-
Research is to create a community. Since testing is one of the most 
down-to-earth kinds of software engineering research, testing 
practitioners are welcomed. Messages about practice should be the 
kind that can guide or improve research, messages that can improve 
practice should go in comp.software-eng.

LN: CTF-DISCUSS
TI: This mailing list is targeted at stimulating discussion of 
issues critical to the computer science community in the United 
States (and, by extension, the world). The Computer Science and 
Telecommunications Board (CSTB) of the National Research Council 
(NRC) is charged with identifying and initiating studies in areas 
critical to the health of the field. Recently one such study -- 
Computing the Future -- has generated a major discussion in the 
community and has motivated the establishment of this mailing list 
in order to involve broader participation. This list will be used in 
the future to report and discuss the activities of the CSTB and to 
solicit opinions in a variety of areas.

TI: E-conference for the Modula-2 programming language. Modula-2 is 
a language by Niklaus Wirth which extends the Pascal foundation by 
providing an updated statement syntax (generalized LOOP, EXIT, 
RETURN, no GOTO), separate compilation with a module (compilation 
unit) broken into specification and implementation parts with 
importing and exporting of objects, controlled machine level access, 
and concurrent programming and coroutines. Modula-2 has most of the 
power of Ada but is small enough that excellent full implementations 
exist for CP/M 80.

pascal (I) I-PASCAL (B) and comp.lang.pascal (U) all messages sent 
to one list are automatically forwarded to the other list.

LN: PROLOG
TI: Prolog and logic programming mailing lists. Some of the people 
answering the initial BBoard message stated that they would be 
interested in general Prolog and logic programming information, but 
not in the nitty-gritty details of Prolog systems and their bugs. 
Therefore, two mailing lists have been set up, PROLOG and PROLOG-
HACKERS: PROLOG will provide a digest of articles of general 
interest. PROLOG-HACKERS will provide a direct mailing for the nasty 
stuff.

LN: VPLLIST
TI: Discussions related to the study, design, development, 
implementation, and evaluation of visual programming languages 
(VPLs). This includes attempts to characterize and define VPLs, 
material on existing and planned VPLs and visual programming 
systems, and material on graphical user interfaces, visual thinking, 
visual knowledge representation, and program visualization. 
Descriptions and discussions of related applications, such as visual 
interfaces for the cognitively impaired, are welcome. Announcements 
and abstracts of relevant conferences, talks, books, journals, 
papers, and articles are encouraged.
