1.1 root 1: The following is a list of currently active USENET newsgroups as of
2: 1 April, 1983. There are two basic subcategories of netwide
3: newsgroups: net.all and fa.all. net.all consists of USENET
4: bulletin board newsgroups that are circulated around the entire
5: net; fa.all is a set of groups that are gatewayed to USENET
6: from the ARPANET. The fa.all groups consist of mainly digests,
7: though there are some bulletin boards. Some of the net.all and
8: fa.all groups are gatewayed between the networks, i.e. items
9: submitted from the ARPA side to the digest are split up and
10: submitted to the USENET group, while articles submitted on the
11: USENET side are bundled up and submitted to the digest. To post to
12: fa.all groups, send mail back along the return address found
13: in the From line of the articles. There are other subcategories,
14: but they are local, local to institutions, local to geographic
15: regions, etc. and are not listed here. Please report any
16: corrections, additions, etc. to this list to me.
