This archive can be accessed either via telnet or email. You can do two things: + search through the news subject lines for a particular pattern + retrieve particular articles To do this, you send email to bsdnews@minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au, with your commands in the body of the email. The commands are: help - get help about the service grep <egrep pattern> - look for this pattern in the subject lines read <article> - retrieve the specific article quit - lines after this command will be ignored You can send multiple commands in an email to minnie. Your return email will have your command lines and the results of each command line. You can also access the 386BSD news archive on minnie with telnet. Simply telnet to minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au and login as `bsdnews'. The commands to use the service are the same as for the email service. You can set/unset both TERM and PAGER, if you want to get a page at a time. Use the help command to get more help on the service. *** Note *** The telnet version of bsdnews now has a case-insensitive grep/prog function. Simply do grep -i word to do a case-insensitive search. I will be altering the email version to do this as well. Questions on the bsdnews service on minnie can be sent to Warren Toomey at wkt@csadfa.cs.adfa.oz.au. -- Please send submissions for comp.os.386bsd.announce to: 386bsd-announce@agate.berkeley.edu
