 1. Introduction -  What is tw.* Newsgroups Redistribution(TWNR)?

    Taiwan established its  Internet connection to US at the end of
    1991.  After that, news systems are  keeping growing around the
    island.  Some regional  "newsgroups" circulate locally with the
    leading group name, "tw".  However,  they may interest a lot of
    people all over the world, and provide a good place for talking
    about Taiwan's affairs.  Therefore, I would like to  offer this
    re-distribution service.  Hope more and  more people exchanging
    information, sharing knowledge/resources with us.

    "tw.*" is a redistribution service for the following newgroups:

    * tw                  - the leading newsgroup of Taiwan
    * tw.tanet            - TANet discussion
    * tw.tanet.general    - TANet general information
    * tw.tanet.tech_news  - TANet tech news
    * tw.seminar          - seminar announce
    * tw.conference       - conference announce
    * tw.announce         - general announce
    * tw.wanted           - information wanted
    * tw.lib-automation   - library automation discussion
    * tw.talk             - free talk on any topic
    * tw.info-sharing     - sharing information to each other
    * tw.cad              - CAD discussion
    * tw.cam              - CAM discussion
    * tw.misc             - miscellaneous posting

    every minute  and automatically reply  to your  request, i  your
