>International Code of Zoological Nomenclature has at last been issued,
   ...  etc., etc.  ...
>David Heppell
>Commissioner, ICZN

Chris Thompson, USDA, mnhen121 at sivm.si.edu, advises me that he is
preparing an online ASCII and PostScript version of the ICZN draft, and
will post it to a file server soon.

In addition, he is arranging to set up a listserver specifically
to discuss the draft, and to provide archiving and archive searching
capability, so that the discussion can become a useful record of these
discussions.

The online draft and listserv addresses will be announced here on Taxacom
and Nhcoll-l as soon as they become available.

And, Chris says that the American Association for Zoological Nomenclature
is in the process of mailing copies to all members as well as subscribing
libraries of Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature.
