Title: <*> MIYAZAKI FILESERVER MEMO <*>
Subject: helpful hints on how to access the list's file and message archive
Updated: Tue, 1 Nov 94 22:05:00 EST
Authors: original version: Steven Feldman <ar402004@brownvm.brown.edu>
update & rewrite: Mauricio Tavares
update & editing: Michael S. Johnson <msj@u.washington.edu>
updated file indices: Steven Feldman
Dear People,
The "Hayao Miyazaki Discussion Group" list <nausicaa@brownvm.brown.edu>
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, but instructions are
also provided for persons with Internet e-mail, or VAX computer accounts.
Here are some common listserv commands relevant to the Miyazaki list
that you might want to use:
NOTE ------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Examples are marked with "EX:". Parts of the examples will contain words
in [square brackets] or <angled brackets>. The brackets are not part of the
command. They are placeholders, put there to let you know where to type
in the commands *you* want to use. [Square brackets] tend to highlight parts
of commands which are optional. <Angled brackets> tend to indicate parts of
commands which are required, but should be replaced by key words appropriate
to your desired result.
In addition, e-mail addresses are often printed inside of <angled
brackets>, just to set them apart from the rest of the sentence.
<listserv@brownvm> is an example.
Examples in this text may also contain words in (parentheses). These are
explanatory comments to the reader and are not meant to be part of the
commands being described.
WARNING ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
These commands are used by the FILESERVER, not by the Mailing List. DO NOT
send them to the mailing list <nausicaa@brownvm.brown.edu> or you may get
nasty mail from other subscribers.
Please also avoid including any .signature or tagline text in your
messages to <listserv@brownvm.brown.edu> as the list server will attempt
to interpret it as commands it should execute. Typically, this will
result in a series of error messages from the list server, and a
suggestion that you should send the "help" command for instructions on
how to correctly send commands to it. If there are too many such lines,
LISTSERV may even block you from sending any further commands, with the
assumption that you have made too many mistakes already. If that is the
case, send e-mail to <nausicaa-request@brownvm.brown.edu> and the list
owners (Michael or Steve) will do their best to resolve the situation.
USAGE -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
To use these commands, send e-mail to <listserv@brownvm> or
<listserv AT brownvm> (if you are on Bitnet) or
<listserv@brownvm.bitnet> or <listserv@brownvm.brown.edu> (for those on
the Internet). No "Subject:" line is needed or heeded by LISTSERV. In
the body of the message, you would have the following:
command_1
command_2
.
.
.
command_n
where command_1, command_2, ... command_n are the commands you gave to the
listserv.
EX: (Princess Kushana calling from her internet account)
To: listserv@brownvm.bitnet
From: kushana@3rd-army.torumekia.gov (this field is included automagically by
your system)
Subject: Mostly Harmless (the subject is ignored anyway, so...)
help
subscribe nausicaa kushana@3rd-army.torumekia.gov Princess Kushana
thanks
ESSENTIAL COMMANDS ----------------------------------------------------------
--------- --------
SUBSCRIBE
o New subscription (send a subscription request to the list administrator)
subscribe nausicaa <login@address> <Your Name>
EX:
subscribe nausicaa kushana@3rd-army.torumekia.gov Princess Kushana
o Change the way your name appears in the subscriber list and on received
mailings (if you are already a susbcriber). Beware that if you change your
e-mail address, you will have to unsubscribe first and then subscribe again.
subscribe nausicaa <New Name>
EX:
subscribe nausicaa Kushana
UNSUBSCRIBE
signoff nausicaa
TEMPORARILY HALT E-MAIL DELIVERY (without unsubscribing)
set nausicaa nomail
o The above command is useful to those subscribers leaving their e-mail
accounts unattended for long periods of time (typically: students on
vacation or staff on leave). This command will prevent LISTSERV from
flooding your account with unread messages while you are away. Please
read on for instructions on how to resume e-mail delivery when you
return.
RESUME E-MAIL DELIVERY (without subscribing from scratch)
set nausicaa mail
o The above command is useful for those subscribers who have been away and
are now ready to continue receiving messages from the mailing list.
Please note, however, that none of the messages that were sent while
you were away will be delivered to you. You will only receive messages
sent *after* this command was sent to the list server. To receive copies
of messages that you have missed, please follow the instructions provided
below in the section "GETTING ARCHIVES OF PAST MESSAGES POSTED TO
THE LIST".
OTHER COMMANDS --------------------------------------------------------------
----- --------
HELP [COMMAND]
With no argument - gives a quick brief of all listserv commands.
With COMMAND as argument - sends a help file on how to use COMMAND
EX:
help get
(this will send you a help file on how to use "get" on listserv)
GETTING FILES
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".)
GETTING A LIST OF AVAILABLE NAUSICAA-RELATED FILES
index nausicaa
or
get nausicaa filelist
Below is what the Nausicaa Filelist looks like:
* NAUSICAA FILELIST for LISTSERV@BROWNVM.

GETTING THE LIST OF SUBSCRIBERS
review nausicaa
(this will send you a file containing the following three things:
1. a copy of the list description -- including the list's parameters
2. the names and e-mail addresses of the current listowners
3. an itemization of all current non-concealed list subscribers)
get listserv refcard
(this will send you a REFerence CARD for listserv commands)
set nausicaa repro
(the nausicaa list ordinarily does not send a copy of your message
back to you. This command will make it so that you *do* get a copy.)
set nausicaa norepro
(this nullifies the comman above, i.e. "set nausicaa repro.")
set nausicaa DUALhdr
(generates complete mail headers for people with flukey mail programs
like Microsoft Mail that don't otherwise reveal a received message's
true address. Fro more info, request a copy of LISTSERV REFCARD from
listserv.)
GETTING ARCHIVES OF PAST MESSAGES POSTED TO THE LIST
The following list of archived message logs are a continuation of
the list of files retrieved with the
index nausicaa
or
get nausicaa filelist
commands described above. If you are a recent subscriber, or have
recently returned to the list (after using the SET NAUSICAA NOMAIL and
SET NAUSICAA MAIL commands) after being away, you may want to use the
above command to get lists of available message archives, then use the
GET commands described below to receive copies of the "back-issues" that
you can use to catch up on what you missed.
Below is an example of what the Nausicaa Filelist of message logs looks like:
*
* NOTEBOOK archives for the list
* (Weekly notebook)
* rec last - change
* filename filetype GET PUT -fm lrecl nrecs date time Remarks

SPECIAL NOTE TO THOSE WITH VM/CMS XEDIT (eg. people on IBM mainframes):
Notice that the information at the right cuts off. This is because
XEDIT cuts off anything over 80 columns. To see the rest of each line,
"right 30" must be typed on a command line (to return to where you started,
"left 30" must be typed). Note that the number "30" is simply the number of
columns to shift the text. You could choose another number as appropriate.
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.
Week A holds messages posted during the first seven days of the month,
B holds the second seven days... and E holds the remainder (29th-31st).
The 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". Capitalization is unimportant, but used for emphasis
in this example.
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 LOG9310A nausicaa (push "Return")
INTERNET EXAMPLE:
get LUPINTV SCRIPTS nausicaa
get SHUNABY PANEL nausicaa
get NAUSICAA LOG9310A 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 and what the last week's messages
have been like. This can be done with three 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 get NAUSICAA LOG9410D nausicaa (push "Return")
ADVANCED INTERNET EXAMPLE:
get LAPUTA SCRIPT nausicaa
review nausicaa
get NAUSICAA LOG9410D 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:
00000002.NAUSICAA is actually SHUNABY PARAGRAF
00000003.NAUSICAA is actually MIYAZAKI ARTICLES
00000004.NAUSICAA is actually TOTORO SCRIPT
00000005.NAUSICAA is actually LAPUTA SCRIPT
00000006.NAUSICAA is actually LUPINTV SCRIPTS

00000023.NAUSICAA is actually OPP SCRIPT-A
00000024.NAUSICAA is actually ONNEAMIS SYNOPSIS
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)

[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
NOTE: listserv database functions can only be implemented if you are on
Bitnet (and even then, some Bitnet users in foreign countries may not be
able to take advantage of this feature due to the nature of their links).
In other words, the database will not work via Internet nor ftp. Sorry.
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]

** PLEASE NOTE: **
The machine (BrownVM) which stores archives of postings to the list has
allocated us a finite storage capacity, and so very early postings (such
as shown in this LDBASE example) are no longer present on BrownVM. You
will be able to find archives of messages up to about two years old,
since as the space allotted to us is filled, we purge archives of
messages of approximately that age or older.
