USING THE LISTSERV DATABASE TO SEARCH HSPNET-L FILES.
   It has been pointed out to me that the LDBASE is a very effective
way to retrieve data from any BITNET list.  If not already in place you
need to install the interface if you want to access the database
interactively. There is also a "batch" mode (for details download
Eric Thomas's LISTDB MEMO (send the command GET INFO DATABASE to any
BITNET LISTSERV). To test if the interface is present type LDBASE.
For installation on VM/SP CMS give the commands:
      TELL LISTSERV AT nodeid GET LDBASE EXEC      and
      TELL LISTSERV AT nodeid GET LSVIUCV MODULE
For VAX/VMS:
      SEND LISTSERV@nodeid GET LDBASE COM
After receiving the files, type LDBASE and follow instructions.
To seach for the topic PACS in the HSPNET-L files, type:
      SELECT PACS IN HSPNET-L
Here is a record of the transaction:
      LDBASE

 At present it is common to receive a compressed chest x-ray over a phone

=============================================================
   The above searching can be applied to any BITNET list. A LISTSERV
will send you a list of all its databases with this command to a server
                     DATABASE LIST
Eric Thomas's software is very complete with instructions for:
 o   select on document date
 o   keyword search
 o   search several databases concurrently
 o   phonetic search
 o   logical (boolean) operators
