We are VERY close to having a NAUTARCH listserver up and running ...
hopefully within 2 weeks. The response has been overwhelming, with nearly
200 respondents to our initial solicitation of interest from around the
world.

If you have not already written to express your interest, please drop me a
VERY brief note which includes not only your e-mail address, but your name,
postal address, phone number, and other data about yourself which you
consider pertinent. We are developing a database/index of respondents
which, in the future will be available by ftp and/or WWW.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR REPLY TO I.N.A. OR TO FRED HOCKER

When the listserver is functional, I will send each respondent an
announcement of NAUTARCH's birth, with instructions on how to subscribe
to the list. The nature of mailing list servers requires that each person
subscribe individually by sending the listserver a message.

NAUTARCH will be different from most new lists in that it will begin
operation with 200 or more subscribers from day one.

Again, thank you all for such an enthusiatic response.
