DROSOPHILA INFORMATION NEWSLETTER Volume 20, October 1995 This is the final (and content-free) issue of Drosophila Information Newsletter. Thanks to all who contributed to DIN over the past five years, and apologies to those of you who have just subscribed. We encourage all of you to make use of the bionet.drosophila newsgroup. Announcements from FlyBase, the stock centers, and meeting organizers appear on bionet.drosophila, along with job openings and questions and answers about a variety of topics relevant to researchers and teachers using Drosophila. You can participate in bionet.drosophila via newsreader software on your local system, by an e-mail subscription to bionet.drosophila, or through the archive in FlyBase/News/bionet.drosophila. Contact your local computer whiz if you want to access bionet.drosophila with newsreader software. If you want an e-mail subscription to bionet.drosophila, send a message to biosci-server@net.bio.net with the following line in the body of the message: subscribe drosophila The subject line can be blank.

To post a message to the group, use your newsreader software, or send your post as an e-mail message to dros@net.bio.net.
