Comments from NativeNet listowner, Gary Trujillo (gst@gnosys.svle.ma.us):
Here's my opportunity to point out once again the importance and value of
the archives maintained by the LISTSERV software on the TAMVM1 system (for
NATIVE-L, NATCHAT, NAT-LANG and NAT-1492) and on INDYCMS (for NAT-EDU).
It should not be necessary to ask for information contained in an article
one missed if one knows how to use the database retrieval commands provided
by the LISTSERV software.
To get a copy of an article on how to use the retrieval facility, just
send a message to the address "listserv@tamvm1.tamu.edu" containing the
single line of text in the message body:
get nn-intro archives native-l
(that's the numeral "1" in "tamvm1" and the letter "l" in "native-l").
You can also put this line into a job which will retrieve the desired
information:
// job echo=no
get nn-intro archives native-l
database search dd=rules
//rules dd *
select * in native-l since 26 may where subject contains ostner
print all
/*
(Note that I have deliberately left off the first letter of Kevin Costner's
name since some articles misspelled that name. Also, make sure that you
leave a space after the "//" in the "// job" line, but no space after the
"//" in the "//rules" line. --Gary (gst@gnosys.svle.ma.us))
