The following files are available from NETSERV@BITNIC which can be of use to Bitnet Administrators and Postmasters: Filename Filetype Description -------- -------- ----------- BITNET NODELST List of all Bitnet nodes and what/where they are nodename NODENTRY Info, contacts at node 'nodename' BITNET GATES Human-readable list of gateways to other domains DOMAIN NAMES [*] Machine-readable list of gateways to other domains [*] you must be listed as a contact/administrator/postmaster in your node's 'nodentry' to access this file. The access commands are as follows: 1) From Unix (running UREP): echo GET filename filetype | netwrite netserv@bitnic 2) From VM: TELL NETSERV at BITNIC GET filename filetype 3) From VMS: SEND NETSERV@BITNIC GET filename filetype 4) From MVS: TRANSMIT NETSERV.BITNIC NOPROLOG and enter the 'GET filename filetype' commands as a single line of message text and hit PF3 to transmit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ephraim Silverberg, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel.
