In response to queries about searching the XyWrite Mailing List
archives, here is some basic information:

1) All archive operations are done by sending a one-line message (no
subject, no signature) to the List Processor at:



Note that this address is different from the one used to post
messages to the list.

2) The body of the message should be a single line comprising one of
the following commands:

 index xywrite
 search xywrite [search term(s)]
 get xywrite [filename]

The INDEX command provides (by return E-mail) a list of all files in
the archive. The SEARCH command is a powerful tool: it returns a
list, sorted by filename, of every occurrence of the search terms;
search-term usage follows the rules of Unix regular expressions.
Use the GET command to retrieve a file from the archives. The
requested file will be E-mailed to you.

I hope this helps.
