The 5.0 (draft) standard for GEDCOM is available from a server at this site.

here is an info message, and I will also post this message to ROOTS-L
at the same time.

         |=======================================================|
         |   Welcome to:    The 'genserv' Mail Archive Server    |
         |=======================================================|

The 'genserv' mail archive server is a service which allows requests
for files to be sent by mail and serviced automatically.  These files
are now available to anyone requesting them via Emailaand using the
syntax as seen below.

To request this help message, send a message to genserv@csoftec.csf.com
with a line similar to the following in the text of the message:

        send help to youraddress

To request the current index, send a message to genserv@csoftec.csf.com
with the text:

PLEASE NOTE:  If you do not use the following syntax, you will not
^^^^^^^^^^^   receive a response to your request.


        send index to youraddress

To request a specific file, send text:

        send file to youraddress

Case of requests are unimportant, and incorrectly formatted requests
will be quietly ignored.  The 'send ' keyword must be at the beginning
of the text line.  The GenServer software does not look at
the Subject: of the message.

Multiple files may be requested in a single message, one per line:

        send file1 to youraddress
        send file2 to youraddress
        send file3 to youraddress

The YOURADDRESS may be in the form relay!node!user, specifying a path
directly from csoftec, or in the form user@system.domain.

Examples:
        send index to systemid!username
             ^        ^
             |        |_____________ address
             |______________________ master index

        send gedcom.1 to username@system.domain.com
             ^           ^
             |           |__________ address
             |______________________ file to send

Send messages that need to be read by a human to genadm@csoftec.csf.com
