Morris dmorris@drew Drew University ============================================================================= Using LISTSERV: To find out what files or logbooks (monthly records of list conversation) exist on a list's fileserver, send the following command interactively or as an email message: INDEX listname (where listname is the name of the list) This command must be sent to LISTSERV@node - here node indicates the address of the list. If you wanted to find out what files are on the CONTENTS fileserver, you would send the following command to LISTSERV@UOTTAWA or LISTSERV@Acadvm1.Uottawa.CA INDEX CONTENTS To retrieve a file from a LISTSERV fileserver, identify the name of the file or logbook from the list's filelist (which the above command would have sent to you) and then send the following command (remember that a LISTSERV file will always have two names, neither of which can be more than eight characters long): GET file name (where file name is the two-part name of the file you want) This command must also be sent to LISTSERV@node - where node is the address of the list. So to retrieve the file METHOD BIBLIO from the list CONTENTS you would send the command GET METHOD BIBLIO as a mail message to LISTSERV@Uottawa (or @Acadvm1.Uottawa.CA). If you require assistance in retrieving list files or logbooks please contact your local computing services or retrieve the following help file LISTSERV MEMO from LISTSERV@bitnic and BITNET USERHELP from LISTSERV@marist. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using LDBASE: Many LISTSERV systems allow for the selective search and retrieval of list archives via the LISTSERV database subsystem known as LDBASE. The following is a brief example of how to use LDBASE at the LISTSERV which hosts CONTENTS. In this example, a user is interested in searching for the term 'politics' in the archives of CONTENTS which are stored on the LISTSERV. The following batch job is sent to the LISTSERV (do not send it to the list's address). In this case, the message is sent to LISTSERV@UOTTAWA (note that e-mail messages in this example are contained within a box; do not type the characters representing the box): +================================+ | // JOB Echo=No | First batch job | Database Search DD=Rules | sent to LISTSERV | //Rules DD * | searching for | Search politics in CONTENTS | the term 'politics' | Index | | /* | +================================+ The user then receives a "DATABASE OUPUT" file from the LISTSERV containing the results of the search: +===============================================================+ | > Search politics in CONTENTS | | --> Database CONTENTS, 7 hits. | | > Index | | Item # Date Time Recs Subject | Results | ------ ---- ---- ---- ------- | of batch | 000003 92/02/11 17:10 188 Overview File | job sent | 000009 92/02/16 22:44 132 bruno88 wlu | from | 000037 92/04/01 22:26 302 2: Reformation, Anglo-Saxon Chri| LISTSERV | 000039 92/04/03 17:10 83 Mason on Schwartz, JOSEPHUS AND | | 000048 92/05/11 19:29 235 Journal of Ritual Studies Vol. 6| | 000090 92/07/10 10:06 187 TOC 2: Catholic Church in Peru; | | 000116 92/10/09 20:18 592 BTS BULLETIN ( 1/2) | +===============================================================+ The user is interested in examining items 37, 39, and 90 (items are numbered at the left). A second batch job to LISTSERV@UOTTAWA is sent requesting the specific items: +================================+ | // JOB Echo=No | | Database Search DD=Rules | Second batch job | //Rules DD * | sent to LISTSERV | Search politics in CONTENTS | requesting specific | Print all of 37 39 90 | items | /* | +================================+ The user then receives a file from the LISTSERV which contains the full text of the items requested. The preceding is a rudimentary example of how to use LDBASE. More complicated searches are possible. In addition, some e-mail systems allow for an interactive use of LDBASE that avoids the need for the batch job approach sketched in the above example. If you would like complete documentation on LDBASE, send e-mail to any LISTSERV (e.g., LISTSERV@UOTTAWA) that contains the one-line message: INFO DATABASE You will receive a large file (about 96kb) which will provide a comprehensive explanation of LDBASE. Another, more concise, document is also available which provides a tutorial on how to search and retrieve information through LDBASE. It is authored by Charles W. Bailey, Jr. and is available at HYDRA.UWO.CA via anonymous FTP. The document is PACSL_DBMS.TXT and is located in the LIBSOFT subdirectory. ============================================================================= The Religious Studies Publications Journal - CONTENTS is an electronic journal that archives and disseminates research and pedagogical material of relevance to Religious Studies. Its goal is to provide free FTP and LISTSERV archiving of quality scholarly material and to also provide a comprehensive directory of network accessible resources for Religious Studies in a wide variety of mediums. Electronic subscriptions are free: to subscribe, send a mail message to Listserv@uottawa or listserv@acadvm1.uottawa.ca with the text: SUBSCRIBE CONTENTS your name. Inquires regarding the CONTENTS project should be sent to the project director: Michael Strangelove Department of Religious Studies University of Ottawa 177 Waller, Ottawa K1N 6N5 (FAX 613-564-6641) <441495@Uottawa> or <441495@Acadvm1.Uottawa.CA>
