K12ADMIN archives

[William Russell Smith <rssmith@TENET.EDU>]

     Several people wanted to know how to get block scheduling info from
K12ADMIN archives. The command is so convoluted it's no wonder people get
lost on the info highway! Anyway... here's the way to get the
stuff....BUT....careful... if you use the Print command like shown below
it will retrieve *all* the files dealing with the search topic. In this
case I got 101 block scheduling postings (all in one e-mail message which
was 98 KB in size.... whew... those guys can really discuss that topic!).

     Here's the basic command: use it for any listserv and just change the
search word and the list name...



Address to:listserv@suvm.syr.edu    (which is the one for K12ADMIN)

In the Body:

//
Database Search DD=Rules
Search block in K12ADMIN
Index
Print
/*


(then send it and very soon you will get the 98 KB file)


     A safer option for smaller mailboxes:

    If you just want the index of files on block just delete the last
two lines (Print and /*)
    Then you will get an index of the 98 files with a number on the
extreme left that is the archive number for that file. Send this command
to the listserv address to get a particular article:GET K12ADMIN Article#
