Subscription to an INGRES-list is possible. The simple (?) message:
TELL LISTSERV AT HDETUD1 SUB INGRES-L Ben Salemans
resulted in my case in a subscription to the INGRES-list.
I found the name of this and other interesting lists in the file
LISTSERV LISTS which was sent to me after I gave the message:
TELL LISTSERV AT HEARN LIST GLOBAL
In your case you will have to fill in another name for 'HEARN' (most of
the times this will be the central EARN- or BITNET-node which is as
close as possible to the computer you are working on. But I think you
can face this problem, since your subscription to the HUMANIST-list was
succesful. Else, ask your local network wizzard for more information on
the matter!

Have you tried the Oxford Catalogue of Fonts? If not, contact Catherine
Griffin at the Oxford University Computing Service (13 Banbury Road;
Oxford OX2 6UP, England) (Janet address: CATHERINE@UK.AC.OXFORD.VAX).
In Spring 1989 she announced her intention to create such a catalogue.

One can see constantly the conflict of "form over function"; "content
over substance," by viewing (even) such films recently released as
"sex,lies an d videotape" and "Broadcast News." Isn't there a
comparison between the beauti ful GUI and lovely text that the Mac
offers and the power of text generation of fered by the IBM
PS/2-generation machines? Seems a bit simplistic, but I use both
machines for different reasons.
