- e-mail from LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU or LISTSERV@VM.ECS.RPI.EDU.
-
- /ML4/If you are on BITNET: LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 or LISTSERV@RPIECS
-
- If your mailer knows domains: listserv@vm1.nodak.edu or
- listserv@vm.ecs.rpi.edu
-
- If your mailer wants bang paths:
- uunet!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv
- uunet!vm.ecs.rpi.edu!listserv
-
-
-
- If you use bang paths, substitute your nearest neighbor which is
- also on the Internet for uunet in the examples above. Some
- examples are: ames, decvax, decwrl, harvard, hplabs, nosc, rutgers,
- sharkey, sun, ucbvax, ucsd, udel, uw-beaver, wuarchive.

-
- Send this command to the server to get its help file:
-
-
-
- GET PDGET HELP
-
-
-
- Sample command (which gets the catalog of MS-DOS files):
-
-
-
- //PDGET MAIL PD:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMLIST.ARC UUENCODE
-
-
-
- These commands should be sent as the body of a regular email
- message. Do not include a signature because it confuses the server.
- If you have xxdecode, you may wish to specify XXENCODE instead of
- UUENCODE to avoid character translation problems.
-
-
-
- To get a catalog of the DESQview files only, use
- //PDGET MAIL PD1:<MSDOS.DESQVIEW>00-INDEX.TXT UUENCODE
