There's a new comp.ai.fuzzy newsgroup on Usenet. Also comp.ai.genetic, comp.soft-sys.matlab and comp.lang.dylan.

To find out if there is a Bitnet list on a topic, send a "list global /" message to listserv@bitnic.bitnet. VAX users can try a SHOW SYMBOL/GLOBAL/ALL system command. [Dana Noonan (noonan@msus1.bitnet), NNews, 12/14.]

BIOSCI/bionet is creating a bionet.jobs newsgroup for condensed job postings. Steve Wolff at NSF says that such discipline-specific job newsgroups are permitted under paragraphs 1, 3, 4, and 6 of the NSFNET Backbone Services Acceptable Use Policy (June 1992). [Dave Kristofferson (kristoff@net.bio.net). Bill Park.] Usenet needn't obey NSF AUP rules if it stays off the backbone machines, but uniform policy makes life easier. Both networks are evolving toward sensible commercial policies.

FEDJOBS is a download of Federal job openings from the dial-up OPM bulletin board -- about 4 MB, updated weekly. Send an "INDEX FEDJOBS" command to listserv@dartcms1.dartmouth.edu, then retrieve files with commands such as "SEND DALLAS TXT". For a full update whenever files change, send "AFD ADD FEDJOBS PACKAGE F=MAIL". [David Avery (david@dartcms1.bitnet), PACS-L, 1/8.] You can also subscribe to FEDJOBS with a "sub fedjobs your name" message; I don't know if that's an announcement feed or a discussion list.

American Information Exchange Corp. (AMiX; Mountain View) says business is up 92% from September, but subscribers still number under 1,000. AMiX has brokered object-oriented software and related programming tools, and plans to get into database management and computer-aided design. Subscribers pay $8/month, connection charges, and a commission of about 18% on $500 items. [Otis Port, BW, 12/21, p. 58.] The commission covers your advertising, email, negotiation support, automated billing, sales tax support, online history, monthly payment, dispute resolution, refund handling, and other services. Files can be listed publicly or privately, with different users granted varying access. Documents for sale or requests for proposals are posted to one or more hyperlinked markets, each monitored for thematic consistency. Consultant listings are similarly organized, with a resume for each consultant. Every file has a free description, and every document and resume has a public comments section. Payments can be billed on download or after a 30-day trial. Once you purchase a document, you have free continuing access (e.g., for updates). Several indexes are maintained to help you browse markets, find related documents, or review purchases. Contact amixinfo@markets.amix.com, (415) 903-1000, for free front-end software that supports downloads and offline browsing. You can access the AMiX system free for 15 minutes at a time, or for longer periods if you subscribe. Not yet available via internet. [Dave Krieger (markets!dave@netcom.com), com-priv, 1/18.]
