Important About Our Old Newsletters!

Over the years, commands used to retrieve information from the LISTSERV archives have changed. Please note these changes:
  • GET - Most old information pages referred to in the newsletters are still available, but the command must now be used differently. The major difference is that there must now be a period (.) between the file directory name and the file name. Example:
    GET KIDS-91 TIPS. You must now use GET KIDS-91.TIPS

    The KIDLEADR directory is now called KIDLEADER.

  • /SHIP - this command has been replaced by the GETPOST command.
    To retrieve individual messages or get additional help, send email to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.NODAK.EDU with commands like these as the message TEXT:

    GETPOST RESPONSE 3 5 7 (to get messages numbered 3, 5, and 7) GET KIDLINK.INDXHP (to get index help file)

    (Note: the previous /SHIP command has been phased out. Item ranges, like 6-9, will no longer work. List each message you want: 6 7 8 9 )

  • The Kidlink gopher is no longer operational!
  • Expect many, many electronic mail addresses to have changed!
