Commands for the Vanagon mailing list |
Note that all commands should be sent to the address listserv@gerry.vanagon.com. Sending commands to any other address won't work.
These commands are listed in alphabetical order, with the minimum acceptable abbreviation in capital letters. Angle brackets are used to indicate optional parameters. All commands which return a file accept an optional 'F=fformat' keyword (without the quotes) that lets you select the format in which you want the file sent; the default format is normally appropriate in all cases.
