Klarinet Archive - Posting 000580.txt from 1997/04
From: Mark Charette <charette@-----.com> Subj: Sneezy archives searchable by email now Date: Fri, 18 Apr 1997 13:59:00 -0400
Since we've moved over to majordomo it doesn't look like it
will be as easy to search the Klarinet archive as it once was.
To help alleviate that problem (and to allow access to the other
databases on sneezy) I've implemented a rather simple mail
interface to the sneezy databases/archives. There's little error
checking, and no real limit on the amount of data returned
(yes, some queries could end up shipping you a LOT of data).
N.B. - The entire Klarinet archives are here, from the first
message in 1992.
To access the mail server, mail to:

Here is the current help page (retrieved via sending the word

Have fun!

Search help:
In the body of a mail message:
database <database names>
find <keywords>
Legal database names are:
clarinet1992 (1992 Klarinet archives)
clarinet1993 (1993 Klarinet archives)
clarinet1994 (1994 Klarinet archives)
clarinet1995 (1995 Klarinet archives)
clarinet1996 (1996 Klarinet archives)
clarinet1997 (1997 Klarinet archives)
composers (clarinet compositions)
discography (clarinet discography)
sneezy (HTML pages on sneezy)
Legal keywords are composed of any words you care to look
for; there is an implicit "OR" between each word; e.g.,
Eb composition
would return all information available on entries containing
the word "Eb" or "composition". If you really wanted entries
that must contain BOTH words, then put "and" between them:
Eb and composition
More complex queries can be grouped with parentheses and the
"or" keyword:
( Eb or G ) and ( composition or composer )
would return all entries containing Eb or G only if the words
composition or composer also appeared.
Case is ignored for keywords. The database and find commands
can be broken into multiple lines if desired. The following
are two legal examples of a simple search:
databases clarinet1992 clarinet1993 clarinet1994 clarinet1995
clarinet1996 clarinet1997
find mozart and concerto and basset
databases clarinet1992 clarinet1993 clarinet1994 clarinet1995
databases clarinet1996 clarinet1997
find mozart and concerto and
find basset
