The IP.* files in this directory are obsolete, in that they were written
to describe Internet domain registry in the uucp zone through "Stargate
Information Services".  Stargate still exists but is no longer handling
the uucp zone; this function has been assumed by Uunet Communications 
Services (see UUNETREG.TXT and [-.SERVICES]UUNET*.TXT).  You can also 
register your site in the US domain (see USDOMAIN.TXT).  

The IP.* files are left here because they provide a more-complete description 
of the Internet domain scheme than is available elsewhere (outside of the RFCs, 
which are quite difficult to interpret).

Therefore:  Read the IP.* files for information on Internet in general,
but ignore all instructions therein regarding Internet domain registry
through Stargate.
