ANGENMAP is operated on SmartList, which automates the processing of your requests through interactive emails. To use its archive server, you have to put your resuests in pre-defined commands. Here is a brief introduction of the ways how to use the archive server. A) General Help Info on Using the Archive Server --------------------------------------------- The SERVICE ADDRESS to send your request to the Archive Server is: angenmap-request@animalgenome.org The command should be put in the "Subject:" line. The command syntex is: "archive [command] [target]" Example: Subject: archive ls # To list files/folders Example: Subject: archive get latest/32 # To retrieve file '32' etc. This archive server knows the following [commands] [target]: archive get filename ... e.g. archive get latest/32 archive ls directory ... e.g. archive ls latest archive egrep case_insensitive_regular_expression filename ... archive maxfiles nnn archive version archive help archive quit Aliases for 'get': send, sendme, getme, gimme, retrieve, mail Aliases for 'ls': dir, directory, list, show Aliases for 'egrep': search, grep, fgrep, find Aliases for 'quit': exit - Lines starting with a '#' are ignored. - Multiple commands per mail are allowed. - Setting maxfiles to zero will remove the limit (to protect you against yourself no more than maxfiles files will be returned per request). - Egrep supports most common flags. If you append a non-standard signature, you should use the quit command above your signature to prevent the archive server from interpreting the signature. Examples: ls latest get latest/12 egrep some.word latest/* quit B) General Info About the ANGENMAP List ------------------------------------ To get more information about how to use this list service, send an email to the SERVICE ADDRESS, as in: To: angenmap-request@animalgenome.org Subject: info Or better yet, many of above functions are made easy on web (WWW).
