Re: List directory

["Gail M. Szeliga" <ny000999@MAIL.NYSER.NET>]

According to some information I have there is a searchable
interest-groups database on the LISTSERV at VM1.NoDak.EDU.
For example, to search the databases for lists on "cats" you would send
the following statements (copy them exactly into your mail message to
the LISTSERV):

??DBlook  JOB  Echo=No
Database Search DD=Rules
??RulesDD *
Select cat in lists
index
Select cats in intgroup
index
Select cats in new-list
index

These statements search the global LISTSERV list of lists ("in lists")
and the local copy of the SRI-NIC Interest Groups ("in intgroup"), and
the archives of the "new-list" list ("in newlist").  Send LISTSERV the
command INFO DATABASE for more information.
