# -VIII- Are there any mailing lists covering topics related to Tcl/Tk?

    From: FAQ General information

    	There are quite a number of mailing lists which cover topics
    relating to the Tcl community.  As you begin one, if you will send
    me information relating to the mailing list, I will add it below.

    o	Basic Object Systems (BOS)

    	BOS is a SELF-like objects extension to Tcl.

    	To join, send email to <URL:mailto:snl+bos-requests@cmu.edu> and then

    o	Comp.Lang.Tcl by email

    		For those Usenet-deprived individuals who are thus unable
    	to read comp.lang.tcl, an email alternative is available.
    	If you get comp.lang.tcl you do not need to sign up for this list.

    		A service called "listserv" is being run out of CERN to forward
    	comp.lang.tcl postings via e-mail to people who don't have direct
    	access to the newsgroup.  In addition, they are archiving the newsgroup
    	so you can retrieve old postings from them.  Here is some more
    	information about the service.

    	1) send a mail to <URL:mailto:listserv@cernvm.cern.ch> with one line
    	in the body:

    	subscribe tcltk

    	2) see how it works (you will receive the mail with instructions from
    	   listserv);

    	3) unsubscribe by a mail to <URL:mailto:listserv@cernvm.cern.ch> with
    	one line in the body:

    	signoff tcltk

    	4) again, signing off will be confirmed by listserv
