and one in English.
For subscription, please send a message with following information:
o your name
o your e-mail address
o state/country where you presently live/work (where your
account is)
to the address Croatian-N...@Andrew.CMU.Edu.
Please put the last information (state/country) into the 'Subject:'
line of your letter. If you would like to receive the news in

Cro-News:
This non-moderated list is the *European echo* of the
Croatian-News/Hrvatski-Vjesnik lists and correspondigly brings
articles which appear on *both* of those lists. This list was set up
to *reduce* the overseas traffic, so if you are in the USA/Ca,
please use the corresponding USA address. This list also carries the
SCYU-Digest traffic. The languages are Croatian, English and
occasionally Slovene. For application *only* email address is
required. If you wish to add your name to the database, please
contact the USA coordinators.
SCYU-Digest:
This moderated mailing list enables people without access to the
USENET newsgroup soc.culture.yugoslavia to receive messages
published on the s.c.y in a digested form. The volume of the
material depends on the traffic on the mentioned newsgroup, but
usually there is at least 700-800 lines of text daily. The topics
cover wide ranging subjects and on occasions one can witness *very*
heated discussions between the participants. Language is mostly
English. The interaction is possible thru the gateway at Berkeley.

"Oglasna Deska" (= bulletin board) are transcripts taken from SLON,
which is a nickname for Decnet connecting several computers in
Yugoslavia. There is a conference similar to Usenet running under
SLON and the articles and replies are occasionally saved and sent to
the world. The topics cover wide area, the language used is usually
Slovene, Croatian or Serbian, some articles are in English. At the
moment there is no interaction possible so the participation is
reduced to reading. The topics covered are equivalent to Usenet
groups talk.politics.misc (from Ljubljana and Belgrade), rec.cars,
rec.humor, comp.networks.*, and rec.climbing. Misc.invest is in the
offing.
