that, *exclusively* applicable to those very large
areas as for the above examples and for other
equivalent situations; all other applications are a
very big error.
(d) = the names of 'Countries' or 'Areas' code as per
International Standard ISO 3166-1, Codes for the
representation of names of countries and their
subdivisions-Part 1: Country codes, ISO 3166-1: 1997
(E/F), International Organization on Standardization
(Geneva 1997);
(ST/ESA/STAT/SER.M/49/Rev.4/WWW revised 16 February
2000). See Annex 2.
(e) = the 'Continent' in accordance with 'Composition of
macro geographical (continental) regions and
component of geographical regions' as excerpted from
the United Nations publication in press, also
revised 16 February 2000:
Note: No ISO ALPHA-x code has been foreseen for
Continent's designation into the above
official documentation and others (United
Nations, NATO, EEC, UEO, etc.) as per my own
knowledge.
Code proposed by myself as *standard* for each
'Continent' or 'Particular groups of geographical
Regions' is defined by a *two letter* code.
Africa - (Eastern Africa, Middle Africa, Northern
Africa, Southern Africa, Western Africa).
Code AF
Americas:
North America - (Northern America, Caribbean and
Central America).
Code NA
South America
Code SA
Asia - (Eastern Asia, South-central Asia, South-
eastern Asia, Western Asia)

In example 2 the message being sent is a Bulletin. In
Bulletins the hierarchy of the address is expressed in both
the TO (expressing an AREA OF INTEREST) and the @ (expressing
the GEOGRAPHICAL ADDRESS) namely, the portion of the address
wich identifies the DISTRIBUTION AREA.
This will forward using the address found after the @ PBBS
field.
Send Bulletin -+ +----------- TO portion of address
| | wich identifies the
| | AREA OF INTEREST
| |
| | +------- @ portion of address wich
| | | identifies and limits the
+- -----+ +----- GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
SB AAAAAA @ DDDDDD
The TO portion identifies the AREA OF INTEREST, which
usually is a topic such as DX, HELP, FBB, SAT, etc. It helps
identify the population of persons who have an interest in
reading the Bulletin.
The @ portion of the message narrows the distribution of the
Bulletin to specific GEOGRAPHIC AREAS (e.g. ITA, ILAZ, IPIE
etc.) and, in a few rare cases to a broad *topical area* (e.g.
SYSOP, AMSAT).
Some examples:
--------------
SB HAMFST @ ILAZ advertise ham for a HamFest in Lazio
SB DX @ ITA a DX bulletin for distribution (whole ITA)
SB USERS @ I0OJJ Information for users of I0OJJ PBBS
SB JNOS @ WW for Hams concerned in JNOS (whole world)

be placed in the TO position of a BULLETIN. They identify the
AREA OF INTEREST (they are proposed from myself as
'standard'):
