                    LISTSERV    --   User's Guide
                    -----------------------------

                      Version 3, December 1992

This version of listserv is a subset of the original one that runs under VM
on lots of Bitnet nodes.

This tool was firstly designed to act as a relay for Bitnet/Internet lists
and as an archive-server (on a monthly basis). It's also possible to create
locally administred lists on node HOST.FOO.BAR, but my package does
not know of "owners" and other administrative functions. So anyone can
subscribe and contribute to any list he wishes.

Commands must be sent to <listserv@host.foo.bar> in a message without
subject.

Available verbs are:

   HELp                            * Sends this help file
   LISt                            * Relayed conferences
   REView list                     * Subscribers from a list
   SUBscribe list Your name        * Register to a list
   SIGnoff   list                  * End of subscription

   INDex list                      * Index of files for a list
   GET   list file                 * Get a file

   ADD list user@host User Name	   * Add a User (Owner only)
   DEL list user@host		   * Delete a User (Owner Only)

Warning: some lists are archived.

Example:

  SUB minix-l Christophe Wolfhugel
  SIG minix-l
  REV ibmpc-l
  LIS

Requests are automatically treated by software, so if you get any problem with
it don't hesitate to drop me a message. Response time (for local senders) is
generrally under 1mn, except on very high loads. If you don't get the answer
fast, maybe the listserv is down...

Email accounts:

  listman@host.foo.bar        For any technical or administrative query.
  list-errors@host.foo.bar    Error reports.
  listserv@host.foo.bar       Requests (SUB, HELP, ...)
