The following is just a reminder of how to communicate with the listserver
where SHOGI-L resides and how to post to SHOGI-L.

There is still some confusion about posting to SHOGI-L. Therefore this
explanation about how it all works. This file should also automatically
be sent to all new subscribers to the list.
One thing that must be clear is the fundamental difference between

 the List Server <listserv <at> technion <dot> technion <dot> ac <dot> il>
                 <listserv <at> technion <dot> bitnet>

                      and

 the Shogi Discussion List <shogi-l <at> technion <dot> technion <dot> ac <dot> il>
                           <shogi-l <at> technion <dot> bitnet>


LISTSERV
--------

Basically, the List Server must be addressed in two cases:
1) when you want to register with a specific list or, after registering,
   when you want to change or query your options related to this
   registration.
2) when you want to retrieve files from an archive maintained by this
   List Server.

Addressing the List Server must be done using standard commands e.g.

subscribe shogi-l John Doe
set shogi-l repro
get shogi game23

In order to find out which files are available for retrieval, you send the
command "Index Shogi-L" to the List Server. If you want to know your
distribution options, you send the command "Query Shogi-L". To find out
who else subscribes, you send the command "Review Shogi-L". All such
commands have to be sent to the List Server.


SHOGI-L
-------

The Shogi Discussion List is a redistribution list, which redistributes all
incoming mail to the subscribers to the list. This mail does not need
special headers or commands. It is redistributed unmoderated and unchanged.
Everybody who subscribes to SHOGI-L is authorized to have his/her mail
redistributed.
If you (as subscriber) get messages that you are not authorized to post to
SHOGI-L, please check if you are working from the same node as the one you
registered from or if the full internet address of your node is still the
same or if there are any known problems with gateways affecting you. Your
local network personnel should be able to help you out with this.

Having explained this all, I expect everybody to post all his/her Shogi
information, requests and musings.

Cheers, Pieter.
