Enclosed is an example of searching the HOCKEY-L posting archives .. wts

   File HOCKEY-L SEARCH in the archives tells how to search for old
   articles.  Send mail to [log in to unmask] and in the body of
   that mail enter "GET HOCKEY-L SEARCH", without the quotes, to receive
   your own copy.
 
   In this case, I did the search with the following mail to
   [log in to unmask]:
 
// job echo=no
database search dd=rules
//rules dd *
search crombeen in hockey-l
index
/*
 
   The search resulted in three "hits", so I just resubmitted the search
   with a "print all" line.  If there had been lots of hits, I'd have
   listed the article numbers on the print line.
 
   So to see the text of the articles selected, I sent mail to
   [log in to unmask] with the following contents:
 
// job echo=no
database search dd=rules
//rules dd *
search crombeen in hockey-l
index
print all
/*
 
   Please feel free to search the archives at any time, but I'll leave
   you with two warnings:
 
      - Please don't send searches to HOCKEY-L, send them to LISTSERV.
 
      - Please omit the "print" line from your first search on any
        subject because many articles may be selected causing waste of
        resource and a huge file that will probably break your mailer.
 
cheers,
