                                 Information Center


            The CSNET CIC  -  CREN/CSNET  Coordination  and  Information

            The CSNET Info-Server has been consolidated with  the  Info-
            Server  operated  by  the NSF Network Service Center (NNSC).
            See Section 6.3.

               o+  The   Info-Server:   info-server@nnsc.nsf.net.    This
                  automatic program distributes documents in response to
                  specially formatted messages.  The documents are  also
                  available to Internet users through standard anonymous
                  FTP login.

            For instructions about this and other services, send a  mes-
            sage  to info-server@nnsc.nsf.net with "HELP" in the body of
            the message.

            Other User Services operated by the CSNET CIC were:

               o+  The User Name Server:  Discontinued. There are no plan
                  to revive this service.

               o+  Fixaddr:  This program is a helpful first step in con-
                  verting  mailing  lists  to to up-to-date domain-style
                  addresses.  The NNSC plans restore it if there is suf-
                  ficient demand.

               o+  Nslookup: For hosts that do not have access to  domain
                  servers,  the nslookup program accepts domain names or
                  IP addresses and sends back a message  containing  all
                  domain  nameserver  records  (not  just  the MX ones).
                  This program has been  temporarily  discontinued,  but
                  may be revived in the near future.
