INFO-IRIS is a discussion focusing on Silicon Graphics Iris workstations
   and software.  Its purpose is to stimulate communication and sharing
   between research groups that are using or are interested in these machines.
   This list is gatewayed to/from Usenet newsgroup COMP.SYS.SGI.  All of
   the new comp.sys.sgi newsgroups are fed to the mailing list.  Addresses
   exist for all of the comp.sys.sgi.subject newsgroups in the form
   info-iris-subject@arl.mil and mail sent to info-iris-subject@arl.mil
   addresses are sent both to the Info-Iris Internet mailing list and
   the appropriate Usenet newsgroup.  For example, messages from
   comp.sys.sgi.hardware are sent to the Info-Iris mailing list with
   a To: address of info-iris-hardware@arl.mil added and replies to
   comp.sys.sgi.hardware should go to info-iris-hardware@arl.mil.  Mail
   sent to the address info-iris@arl.mil goes to comp.sys.sgi.misc and
   the Info-Iris Internet mailing list.  Mail to info-iris-announce@arl.mil
   goes directly to just the .announce moderator (see below).

   Below is a list of the current groups and their description:

   A summary of the message archives is kept in:

      info-iris/SUMMARY

   Public domain software for the Iris submitted by Info-Iris readers
   is kept in the directory info-iris; an annotated list is found in

   Internet subscribers can join by sending a mail message with a subject
   of ADD.  To be removed from the list, the subject should be REMOVE.
   This is very important due to the volume of failed mail messages.

   should specify this address as the return-path of their messages.
