Announcing the LINGUISTS Nameserver
8/2/91
Today we have put into operation a linguistic nameserver. The function
of this server is to reply to single or multiple requests for e-mail
addresses of researchers in the language sciences.
The basic commands now available are: HELP, LIST, ADD, REMOVE.
HELP speaks for itself
LIST requests address listings. Legal requests include: list surname;
list string*; etc.
ADD requests the addition of an address. The format is:
add surname, first name: address
REMOVE requests the removal of an address. The format is:
remove surname, first name: address
(before issuing a REMOVE command it is advisable to check the exact form
of an entry with LIST)
All requests should be addressed to LINGUISTS@ALF.LET.UVA.NL. The
subject line will be ignored. Each request should be entered on a
separate line.
Please let your colleagues know about us!
