March 24, 1993 FYIFrance: EXTRA -- France/French on Usenet! by: Jack Kessler kessler@well.sf.ca.us Francophiles, Francophobes...! For any of you who are lovers of USENET, the following remarkable announcement just arrived in my inbox (courtesy of my friend Franc,ois Bar). (Apologies for the formatting, which seems not to have traveled well.) I can't vouch for the discipline or general utility of any of these, but it does look as though France is getting more and more online, and anyway here's a place where you can practice your French: Jack Kessler kessler@well.sf.ca.us ______________________ Path: agate!howland.reston.ans.net!wupost!uunet!bounce-back From: Christophe.Wolfhugel@grasp.insa-lyon.fr (Christophe Wolfhugel) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,soc.culture.europe,fnet.general Subject: NEW HIERARCHY: French-speaking "fr" groups Followup-To: news.groups Date: 11 Mar 1993 01:42:47 -0500 Organization: INSA Informatique (Grasp), Lyon, France Lines: 70 Sender: tale@rodan.UU.NET Approved: tale@uunet.uu.net Message-ID: <1nmn17INN5er@rodan.UU.NET> NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: agate news.announce.newgroups:3137 news.groups:68052 soc.culture.europe:17443 fnet.general:468 A set of french speaking newsgroups have been recently created with the hope to have them wide-spread around the french speaking community. The groups are already distributed to many sites in France as well as in other countries with an important french speaking community, like Switzerland. Many major sites in Europe as well as in the USA already carry these groups for their users/customers. If you wish to carry them on your site, please first check in your neighborhood if you can't get them from there. If you fail in this, you may wish to contact me by email and we'll find an adequate feed for your site. You may also wish to send a note to "fr-news-distribution@grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr", preferably in french indicating you are searching for a feed. Messages arriving to this address will be sent to the fr.news.distribution newsgroup as well as to the peer mailing-list. To subscribe to the mailing-list send the command "sub fr-news-distribution First Lastname" to the address . The list of groups, extracted from our newsgroups file follows. fr.announce.divers Annonces diverses (pas petites annonces). fr.announce.important Annonces importantes concernant fr.
