+ Info
+ ---
+ The "info" hierarchy is a collection of mailing lists gatewayed into
+ news at the University of Illinois.  The lists are selected based on
+ local interests but have proven popular at a number of sites.  Groups
+ are removed when they become available via more mainstream
+ hierarchies.  Sites are encouraged to mark *'ed groups as 'n' in their
+ active file.  These groups are generally concerned with getting real
+ work done and readers dislike extraneous postings.  Postings can still
+ be made by emailing to the listed contact address.  The mailpaths

+ RELCOM
+ ------
+ Relcom.* is the hierarchy of Russian-language newsgroups distributed
+ mostly on the territory of the former Soviet Union (non-CIS countries
+ included).  These groups are available in Europe and Northern America;
+ due to the 8-bit encoding (KOI-8) of Cyrillic letters minor software
+ modifications may be required.
+ 
+ Newsgroups under the hierarchy relcom.commerce contain classified
+ advertisements and relatively high-volume; the nature of the
+ information distributed in those groups may contradict policy of some
+ networks.  However, it may be really valuable for researchers and
+ businessmen interested in the first-hand information on the economics
+ of FSU countries.
