Date:     Thu, 05 Nov 92 20:59:44 EDT

Dear People,
     The "Hayao Miyazaki Discussion Group" list <nausicaa@brownvm> has a
fileserver from which anyone--even non-subscribers--can retrieve weekly
archives and long files (like scripts).
     The following is an updated version of the list's FILESERVER MEMO
(please discard any and all previous versions, as they are obsolete):

     This memo is biased towards users of VM/CMS.  Some tips on command
syntax for users of other systems is given towards the end of the memo.

     Here are some common listserv commands relevant to the Miyazaki list
that you might want to use:

subscribe nausicaa <login@address> <Your Name>
  (this will send a subscription request to the list administrator)

signoff nausicaa
  (this will unsubscribe you from the list)

review nausicaa
  (this will send you a list of all the current list subscribers)

stats nausicaa
  (this will tell you who is posting to this list and how often)

|index nausicaa
| (this will send you a list of all the available long files and weekly
|  archives from Nausicaa Filelist; same as "get nausicaa filelist")
|
|get nausicaa filelist
| (this will send you a list of all the available long files and weekly
|  archives from Nausicaa Filelist; same as "index nausicaa")

get <filename> <filetype> nausicaa
  (this will send you a file from "nausicaa filelist," i.e. a weekly
   archive or a long file.  Examples would be "get SHUNABY PARAGRAF
   nausicaa" and "get CASTLCAG SCRIPT nausicaa".)

help get
  (this will send you a help file on how to use "get" on listserv)


Below is an example of what the Nausicaa Filelist looks like:


*  NAUSICAA FILELIST for LISTSERV@BROWNVM.
*
*  LISTSERV files associated with the NAUSICAA list.
*
* :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

SPECIAL NOTE TO THOSE WITH XEDIT (like me):
     Notice that the information at the right cuts off.  To see the rest
of the file, type "right 30" on your command line.  (To return to where
you started, type "left 30".)  [When you use the "get nausicaa filelist"
command yourself, you will get a copy of the filelist that will become
visible in its *entirety* once you type "right 30" (unlike the truncated
copy used in the example above).]

     The archives are broken down into weeks.  Their filetype is actually
a code:  after "LOG," the first two numbers are the year, the second two
numbers are the month, and the letter (A, B, C, D, or E) is the week.

     Procedure for file retrieval is simple and almost immediate for
Bitnet users of VM/CMS, who use syntax like "tell listserv at brownvm
get CASTLCAG SCRIPT nausicaa".
     For Internet VM/CMS users, the procedure is to send e-mail to
<listserv@brownvm.brown.edu> and make the message read "get CASTLCAG
SCRIPT nausicaa".

     If you want more than one file at a time, and you're on Bitnet,
you have to key in each command separately.  (A recall command will
speed up the process a little, though.)
     If you want more than one file at a time, and you're on Internet,
you can request multiple files by putting each command on a new line.

     BITNET EXAMPLE:
tell listserv at brownvm get LUPINTV SCRIPTS nausicaa  (push "Return")
tell listserv at brownvm get SHUNA BYPANEL nausicaa  (push "Return")
tell listserv at brownvm get NAUSICAA LOG9104B nausicaa  (push "Return")

     INTERNET EXAMPLE:
get LUPINTV SCRIPTS nausicaa
get SHUNA BYPANEL nausicaa
get NAUSICAA LOG9104B nausicaa  (mail the multiple-command message)

     For a more advanced example, say you really only want the LAPUTA
script, but you're mildly curious what the mailing list is like, so
you'd like to see who's subscribed, who's posting, and what the last
week's messages have been like.  This can be done with four simple
commands, as shown below:

     ADVANCED BITNET EXAMPLE:
tell listserv at brownvm get LAPUTA SCRIPT nausicaa  (push "Return")
tell listserv at brownvm review nausicaa  (push "Return")
tell listserv at brownvm stats nausicaa  (push "Return")
tell listserv at brownvm get NAUSICAA LOG9204A nausicaa  (push "Return")

     ADVANCED INTERNET EXAMPLE:
get LAPUTA SCRIPT nausicaa
review nausicaa
stats nausicaa
get NAUSICAA LOG9204A nausicaa  (mail the multiple-command message)

     Internet folks can also get the files via FTP by typing "FTP
BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU", then "ANONYMOUS", then "A", then "CD LISTSERV.1AC",
then "LS", then "GET <filename.filetype> <NewName.notebook>".  The
archives will show up as they really are, but the long files will *not*
show up with their true filenames.  There will be an eight-digit number,
instead.  Furthermore, these long files are in a different order than
those available through the fileserver.  8(
     Here is a key by which you can tell which ftp file is which:

          00000018.NAUSICAA is actually FIREFLY  SCRIPT
          00000019.NAUSICAA is actually TAKAHATA ARTICLES

     Well, now you know.  If you ever accidentally zap something from
your files that you got from the nausicaa list -- and you really wanted
to keep it -- you can go in and get a new copy.  If you decide you *do*
want those LUPIN III TV scripts (episodes #145 and #155) after all, you
can get them anytime!  If you haven't seen any interesting postings for
awhile, you can go in and read some previous ones which might catch your
fancy. . . . The filelist can be accessed at your convenience; feel free
to use it.  8)

     Finally, for those who want *more* information, here is some info
right off of a listserv memo:

                       [XEDITED FOR BREVITY'S SAKE]

  ************************************
  * General presentation of LISTSERV *
  ************************************


  LISTSERV is a VM/CMS based Mailing Lists Manager, designed and written
  by  Eric Thomas <ERIC@FRECP11> of the Ecole Centrale de Paris, France.

  Subscribers can query and change their distribution  and  acknowledge-
  ment  options;  change  their  names  as recorded by LISTSERV; and, of
  course, leave the list.

  LISTSERV accepts commands in three forms: As interactive messages;  As
  mail; And as "Command Jobs" in any of several transmission formats.

  Interactive  messages  should  be  sent  in  the usual manner for your
  system:

  CMS:      TELL LISTSERV AT (node) (command)

  TSO:      TRANSMIT (node).LISTSERV '(command)' NOPROLOG

  VAX:      SEND LISTSERV@(node) (command)

  Commands sent by messages will generally cause responses to be sent as
  messages, except where inappropriate.

  Commands can be enclosed in mail, where the mail  text  following  the
  headers  is  treated as a file of commands.  Each line is treated as a
  separate command, and the remainder of the file  is  flushed  when  an
  error  occurs,  such  as  an invalid command or bad syntax.  Responses
  will normally be sent by mail back to the sender's mailbox.

  Command Jobs can either be a file  of  one  line  commands,  processed
  exactly  like  the  mail  form,  or a more flexible and of course more
  complex form.  This form uses a control language that  closely  resem-
  bles MVS JCL, for ease of use by MVS users who are expected to need it
  most.

  An entry in a FILELIST specifies the name of the file, its format  and
  size, a brief comment, and the identities of those users who can store
  and retrieve, or PUT and GET, the file.  These identities are recorded
  as File Access Codes, or FACs. A FAC is a three character abbreviation
  for  an  address  or  list  of  addresses, and must be unique within a
  FILELIST.  Several special, or hard-coded, FACs have been defined  for
  common cases:  OWN, meaning the owner of a list; PRV, meaning Private,
  for  the subscribers of a list; NAD, meaning Node ADministrators; ALL,
  meaning anyone; and N/A meaning that the process (GET or PUT)  is  not
  applicable to the file.

  Some of you may recognize this description as that of the EARN Network
  Server,  NETSERV.    The LISTSERV File Server was designed to resemble
  NETSERV as much as possible, so the commands and FILELISTs  should  be
  quite familiar to NETSERV initiates.

  Through  the  GET,  AFD,  FUI  and INDEX commands, any user can obtain
  files stored by a LISTSERV.  The INDEX command will cause  a  FILELIST
  to  be  sent  back  to  the requestor, listing the available files and
  their access limitations.  The GET command is used to request  a  file
  from  a particular FILELIST.  The AFD, or Automatic File Distribution,
  command requests LISTSERV to send a copy of a certain file  each  time
  it  is  changed.    The  FUI,  or  File Update Information, command is
  similar to AFD, but causes a short mail message to be sent noting that
  a new copy of the file is available.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

     I hope that the above proves helpful.

Subject:      list nausicaa DATABASE MEMO

     To access listserv's database, send a command to listserv that says,
"get listdb memo".  This will tell you all you need to know.  I admit,
it *is* a little arcane, though, so here's a mini-primer for how to use
listserv's database function.  First of all, certain files must be
requested from listserv that are or act as execs.  Here's part of the
LISTDB MEMO (after that, I'll try to explain things a little):

| Accessing the database
| ----------------------
|
| The  database can be accessed either interactively or in "batch" mode.
| In the former case, you must  obtain  the  LDBASE  user  interface  by
| sending the following commands to your nearest LISTSERV:
|
| o   For VM/SP CMS systems:
|
|     -   TELL LISTSERV AT nodeid GET LDBASE EXEC
|
|     -   TELL LISTSERV AT nodeid GET LSVIUCV MODULE
|
|     The command to start the user interface is simply LDBASE to access
|     your "home" server, or LDBASE nodeid to access the LISTSERV server
|     at nodeid.
|
| o   For VAX/VMS systems:
|
|     -   SEND LISTSERV@nodeid GET LDBASE COM
|
|     The  command  to  start  the user interface is @LDBASE.  This will
|     install the required files in  your  directory  and  display  more
|     detailed instructions about the program.

     In other words (for VM/CMS users like *me*, at least), first send
these three commands:

tell listserv at brownvm get LISTDB MEMO
tell listserv at brownvm get LDBASE EXEC
tell listserv at brownvm get LSVIUCV MODULE

     Then, type the following command:

ldbase brownvm

[Note: do NOT type "tell listserv at brownvm ldbase brownvm",
 but simply "ldbase brownvm".  Failure to observe this goofy
 ideosyncracy will prevent you from accessing the database.]

     The Ldbase command will link you to the database at brownvm.
     Then, use a syntax like, "search fileserver in nausicaa".  A message
will tell you how many items turn up with the description "fileserver",
and will identify them as "hits".  (In this case, there were 39 hits.)
     Next, type "index", and the hits will be listed.  Write down the
dates, and then request the appropriate archives from listserv.
     It's also possible to make the search request more specific so as to
narrow down the field of inquiry.  For example, try a search like, say,

search fileserver memo in nausicaa

or even more precise than that:

search <*> miyazaki fileserver memo <*> in nausicaa

     The first command yielded a total of 15 hits, whereas the second
command yielded 13.  What remains is to match the results of the Index
command to a archival log on the fileserver.
     In the case of the search for <*> miyazaki fileserver memo <*>,
the first four hits revealed via the Index command are listed as being
posts from the dates 91/08/14, 91/09/03, 91/10/24, and 91/11/13.  These
correspond to nausicaa logs 9108b, 9109a, 9110c, and 9111b, thusly:

91/08/14 ..... nausicaa log9108b  |[log = year/month/week]
91/09/03 ..... nausicaa log9109a  |[a, b, c, d & e = weeks of the month]
91/10/24 ..... nausicaa log9110c  |[week = 7 days (or less, in e's case)]
91/11/13 ..... nausicaa log9111b  |[e = day(s) 29(-31) of a given month]
