Subject: NewJour-L

We have received a number of messages and voicemails about whether
NewJour-L still exists.

NewJour-L has, indeed, been the moderated announcement forum for new
Internet journals, magazines, and newsletters.  From August 1993 to late
December 1994, it ran on the listproc at the American Mathematical
Society.  However, its large size (1600?) and a configuration of the ams
.sendmail function didn't seem to work out well -- i.e., NewJour-L kept
looping and crashing the system and had to be hand-held to avoid
problems.  We are very appreciate to the AMS, particularly Kevin Curnow,
for all their help with this project.

NewJour-L was down from 1 January to 22 January.  On Jan 23, we resumed
at the University of Pennsylvania's CCAT (Center for Computer Analysis
of Texts) server.

The list is now called NewJour (to reduce typing)
It runs on majordomo software.

The backfiles will be up on a gopher and will have searching capabilties.
We will announce that service when it is available, later this week
perhaps.

The system owners and operators are James O'Donnell and Michael
Nenashev, U of Pennsylvania.

We apologize for the inconvenience.  Any former subscribers to NewJour-L
have been re-subscribed and by now should all have received about a dozen
messages.
