Goodness (and some people wonder why I use so many adjectives
trying to get people to PAY ATTENTION TO DIRECTIONS)!
This came from a system running IBM's MVS operating system (TSO??).
I believe the immediate message command your looking for is:
TRANSMIT LISTSERV@BROWNVM GET APPLE2-L FILELIST
If that format is correct, then
TRANSMIT LISTSERV@BROWNVM INDEX APPLE2-L
will retrieve the same file.
If you can't get an immediate command to work, then you can use
mail BUT!!! <----- you MUST send the message to:
LISTSERV@BROWNVM (two <2> things to notice: LISTSERV is 8 letters
with no spaces and the correct address is NOT info-apple@brl.arpa)
Leave out the "subject line" (it won't matter if it's there though)
and the body of the message should be only
INDEX APPLE2-L
LISTSERV is a robot adding thank you's, signatures or even "please"
will only confuse it.

I just received the index listing from LISTSERV@BROWNVM, and I noticed
that there don't seem to be any files dated later than 9/87. Is there
a more current index file, or have there simply not been any new
postings since then?

There is so much confusion regarding APPLE2-L, how do you use it, who can
recieve it, etc. There seem to be many people out there interested in a binaries
group. Can we take the vote again ? What would it take ? I joined this group
after the vote was taken so I dont kwnow why it was nixed. Apathy seems to be
the reason that I hear the most. To the people who are apathetic I make this
plea : Please consider the people who cannot effectivly use APPLE2-L, if
apathy is your only reason to vote against the binaries group, then teh
fact that many people who can not use APPLE2-L could use a binaries group
should steer you towards a positive response. It is interesting that
in the sysytems of groups to which I can subscribe, every computer
type (IBM,MAC<AMIGA,ATARI,etc) has a binaries group. Given the bent of
most APPLE2 users it is very surprising that we dont have one.
LETS HAVE ANOTHER VOTE ! DO WE NEED TO VOTE TO SEE IF WE NEED ANOTHER
VOTE ? What would it take for another vote ?
THANKS,
