- This is a message from Pieter Stouten, one of the owners of a listserver
- for the game of Shogi.

- =================================================
-
- There is still some confusion about posting to SHOGI-L. Therefore this
- explanation about how it all works. This file will also automatically
- be sent to all new subscribers to the list.
- One thing that must be clear is the fundamental difference between
-
- the List Server <listserv@technion> or <LISTSERV%TECHNION.BITNET@taunivm.tau.ac.il>
-
-
- and
-
- the Shogi Discussion List <shogi-l@technion> or <SHOGI-L%TECHNION.BITNET@taunivm.tau.ac.il>.
-
-
- LISTSERV
- --------
-
- Basically, the List Server must be addressed in two cases:
- 1) when you want to register with a specific list or, after registering,
- when you want to change or query your options related to this registration.
- 2) when you want to retrieve files from an archive maintained by this
- List Server.
- Addressing the List Server must be done using standard commands e.g.
- 1) "Subscribe a_nice_list first_name last_name" or
- "Set a_nice_list repro"
- 2) "Get file_name file_type"
- (without the quotes, of course). In order to find out which files are
- available for retrieval, you must send the command "Index Shogi-L" to the
- List Server. If you want to know your distribution options, you must send
- the command "Query Shogi-L". To find out who else subscribes, you send
- the command "Review Shogi-L". Everything must be sent to the List Server !
-
-
- SHOGI-L
- -------
-
- The Shogi Discussion List is a redistribution list, which redistributes all
- incoming mail to the subscribers to the list. This mail does not need special
- headers or commands. The only restriction is that lines must not exceed 80
- characters. It is redistributed unmoderated and unchanged.
- Everybody who subscribes to SHOGI-L is authorized to have his/her mail
- redistributed. If you (as subscriber) suddenly get a message that you are not
- authorized, please check whether you are working from the same node as the
- one you registered from or whether the full path to your node is still the
- same or if there are any known problems with gateways affecting you. In any
- case, if you experience this problem, please check with your local network
- personnel first, before bombarding us with requests and complaints.
-
- Having said this all, there should be no obstruction anymore and everybody
- now can post all his/her Shogi information, requests and musings (?).
