Wed May 4 09:03:32 EST 1994


Included is an up-to-date version of the service specification file used by the
MSU mail server utility program. It now lists 26 email servers; recent additions
include Bioccelerator, BioSCAN, EMBL PROSITE, SBASE, ProDom, and GCRDb.

MSU simplifies access to Internet email servers by providing a customizable menu
interface. MSU is available for UNIX and VAX systems from
{ftp,gopher,www}.embl-heidelberg.de.
