or, how I was defeated by bits and bytes. Well, apologies for what may have been not just a few archive requests of mine that found their way into this list. Wasn't intentional. But, I have spent the best part of today trying to get archives using the listserve to that end. Results have been less than satisfactory. The usual reason, I can't grasp what the syntax of the get archive command is. At least, I can't seem to get my point across to the listserve. When I post a message to it, I get a number of similar error responses, which tell me something, but not quite enough of what I need. Looking at the help file, seems that the directory is constructed along unix lines. This is, with a / forward/ between each directory and file. When the files are presented through the index, however, they are delimited with periods. Thus, a file could be called 0634.95, to reside in the pianotech directory. According to the index, if this file exists, it would be called pianotech.0634.95 I have been sending various versions of the format using / using space, and using period, yet I have yet to retrieve one archive I did get a file not found message, once. But, for the most part I get an error message. Then, I worked something else out. This listserve needs to have the commands in the subject line, from what I cansee. I think I am beginning to crack it, but it's getting late, and the night is short. One more go I think, and then I'll put the system to rest. I wonder if anyone has had better luck than I have had. If someone can tell me the runes I'd be really greatful.
