Putting my propeller beanie on once again . . .

You can either keyword search the archives or download a week's worth of
Klarinet at a time.

The archives are stored in weekly "logs". A new log starts on the first day
of the month and has a name in the form LOGyymmx.

The first log for this year is LOG9501a
The second log for January is LOG9501b
The first log for February is LOG9502a

To retrieve a log - let's say you want the current log which started Feb. 1
- send mail to:

LISTSERV%vccscent.bitnet@-----.edu
^^^^^^^^
with the message:

GET KLARINET LOG9502A

For a list of all logs, send the Listserv the message:

INDEX KLARINET

** Searching the Klarinet Archives **

The quick and easy way to search the archives is to replace "KEYWORD" in
the form below and send it to the Listserv

//
DATABASE SEARCH DD=RULES
//RULES DD *
SEARCH keyword IN KLARINET
INDEX
PRINT ALL OF
/*

This could, however, return a very large file.

To get a list of all messages that match your keyword(s), drop the "PRINT
ALL OF" line. So your search would look like:

//
DATABASE SEARCH DD=RULES
//RULES DD *
SEARCH keyword IN KLARINET
INDEX
/*

You will receive a list of matching messages with subjects.

I just did a search on "Leeson and playboy" and received this:

004354 94/12/07 15:59 35 See this month's PLAYBOY
004358 94/12/08 01:57 15 Re: See this month's PLAYBOY
004361 94/12/08 08:42 16 Re: See this month's PLAYBOY
004368 94/12/08 13:56 33 I'm a putz! There is little doubt about it!!!
004369 94/12/08 14:13 21 Re Bob Winston's comments on PLAYBOY
004892 95/01/13 09:03 25 Playboy and the low C bass clarinet

To get all of those messages, just send back the _SAME_ search but add the
line "PRINT ALL OF" just like in the first example above.

To retrieve only some of the messages, send back the _SAME_ search but
change "PRINT ALL OF" to "PRINT xxx" where "xxx" equals the message's
numbers or ranges separated by a comma.

For example:

//
DATABASE SEARCH DD=RULES
//RULES DD *
SEARCH Leeson and playboy IN KLARINET
INDEX
PRINT 004354-004358,004368,004892
/*
