A really stupid question
How can I access the Oracle-L archives? There's something I remember reading a few months ago that I want to look up.

This was sent by someone recently: - ListGuru GENERAL Command HELP - This help file contains basic information about each command recognized by ListGuru. More detailed help is available through these commands: HELP command -- Gives detailed help about a given command (listed below) HELP DETAILED -- Complete and exhaustive help on ALL commands HELP USAGE -- A general primer on how to use your mailing list HELP FAQ-- A list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Interacting with ListGuru: -- ListGuru is a Mailing List Manager (MLM) which understands the commonly used commands of many other MLM's, including ListProc, listserv, Majordomo, SmartList, Mailbase and Listcaster, among others. All commands should be sent by E-mail to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Note spelling closely... The Subject: line is ignored, so do not place commands on it. Commands go in the message BODY, one command per line. You can send as many commands in a single message as you wish. Each command has a specific format, as outlined below. In the explanations below, replace any word enclosed by angle brackets, with an appropriate response. For example: INFO list would be replaced with: INFO GARDENING-L Other command replacements: list means the mailing list name (always suffixed with -L) real name means your given name or surname, not E-mail address password means a password given to you for closed lists search textmeans arbitrary text, not case sensitive option means a particular option, dependent on the command filename means a filename (no pathnames are allowed) commandmeans any ListGuru command descriptionmeans arbitrary text, case sensitive If you have any difficulties or questions regarding ListGuru, contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The following commands are recognized by ListGuru (in alphabetical order): -- ALLMAIL list Displays a short summary (who, when, what) of all messages received and sent out since the last time a digest was produced (generally midnight of the previous day, but could be longer on low-traffic lists). See Also: CONFIRM, LASTMAIL ARCHIVES Displays a list of all mailing lists which have file archives and which you are currently a subscriber to. See Also: GET, INDEX, SEARCH, SUBMIT, VIEW BIOGRAPHY list INDEX BIOGRAPHY list user BIOGRAPHY list ALL BIOGRAPHY list BIOGRAPHY list DELETE The general intent of the BIO command is to provide a way for list members to create a short biography for themselves, which is then available to all other members of the same list. BIOGRAPHY can be shortened to BIO if you prefer -- both spellings work equally well. *** NOTE *** This command is fairly detailed, so it is recommended that you either issue a HELP DETAILED or a HELP BIO command to get the full set of instructions for using this command. Form #1: BIO list INDEX Returns a complete list of whose bio is available for the given list. As an example, you could do a BIO GARDENING-L INDEX command and ListGuru would send back a list of all BIO's so far submitted for the GARDENING-L list. Form #2: BIO list user Sends back a BIO for a specific user. Usually it is the next command you issue after the INDEX form. You will be sent back the complete biography text as submitted by that specific user. Be sure to use the name listed in the INDEX form to get information on the right person. Form #3: BIO list ALL Similar to form #2, but sends ALL biographies that are available for the list you specify. A quick way to get familiar with everyone, instead of just individual users. Form #4: BIO list This is how you submit your OWN biography. When you use this form of the command, it should be the only command you send in that message, and the message MUST contain a uuencoded file containing your biography. At the current time, MIME attachments are not supported, so the attached file must first be uuencoded, then sent with your message. If you have problems with uuencode, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance. Form #5: BIO list DELETE This form deletes any biography entry YOU have submitted for the list specified. Note you cannot delete anyone elses entry; only your own. See Also: INDEX, SUBMIT CONFIRM list Confirms whether you are a subscriber to a particular list or not. See Also: ALLMAIL, LASTMAIL, WHICH DIRECTORY/LIST See the LISTS command below. The DIRECTORY/LIST command can be abbreviated to DIR/LIST if desired. Synonyms: LISTS END Stops further processing by ListGuru. Useful if your messages

Also, I think an actual searchable list is on the orafaq site whickh is in the footer of each message For example http://www.orafaq.com/supsearc.htm I searched Goddess And came back with a ton of hits, so, I figgure it must be hitting archives from the fatcity list ;-) Try it Bob This was sent by someone recently: - ListGuru GENERAL Command HELP - This help file contains basic information about each command recognized by ListGuru.

Jay, From my personal archive, I have previously found the following 4 archive sites. It depends on what you want - that is, in sent order, threaded or searchable. http://www.orafaq.com/archive/oracle-l - not threaded and doesn't seem to be searchable but does display them in sorted order I also found this site by searching Google for Oracle-L http://faqchest.dynhost.com/prgm/oracle-l/ try http://www.fatcity.com/ListGuru/my.php and http://www.mail-archive.com/oracle-l%40fatcity.com/-- this has them threaded HTH, Bruce Reardon -Original Message- Sent: Saturday, 5 October 2002 3:04 AM How can I access the Oracle-L archives?
