Now believe it or not the UK can not do "interactive" messages to the rest of Europe, and Internet nodes are also limited when it comes to working "interactively". So this limits certain people if they want to do searches of the lists at IRLEARN. It would also seem that some people are more comfortable using mail than doing things "interactively"... so this message is for those of you who want to query BIO+NAUT by mail. All that you need to do is send a batch job to LISTSERV@IRLEARN, and the output of your job will be returned to you as DATABASE.OUTPUT Here is a basic batch job which should be sent to LISTSERV@IRLEARN It will pull out entries for different countries. If your country is not included then just add it into the batch job as SEARCH COUNTRY IN BIO+NAUT INDEX and if there are any hits then you will get a report of it in the DATABASE.OUTPUT. You could place a standing order with LISTSERV, by sending your BATCH JOB once per month, and you would be informed of any new additions to the bio+naut database. --------8< cut here 8<---------- //Bionaut JOB Database search DD=Mine //Mine DD * Search USA in bio+naut index search Germany in bio+naut index search UK in bio+naut index search France in bio+naut index search holland in bio+naut index search sweden in bio+naut index search canada in bio+naut index /* -------8< cut here 8<------------- -=ROB=-
