************************ LIST PHILOSOPHY ************************

The e-mail mailing list named "photo-3d" has been established for 
the purposes of discussing 3D photography and closely allied subjects.
In this list, 3D is defined as the presentation of separate and 
different images to the left and right eyes.  This definition is not 
intended to exclude lenticular presentations or the Pulfrich effect 
or "wallpaper" stereograms.  However, it _is_ intended to exclude 
discussions of, for instance, perspective drawing and "ray tracing" 
(often called 3D by people in other fields) and is also intended to 
limit the discussion of holography to headlines only, inasmuch as 
holography is a radically different technique. Unfortunately, this 
is not the place to post 3D computer images; many subscribers cannot 
afford to receive messages that large.  We have available a number 
of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) in our ftp directory. Also in 
the ftp site are a number of stereo image files. The ftp site is at:

   bobcat.tamu-commerce.edu 

under pub/photo/photo-3d.
 

Discussions of the following (in no particular order) are encouraged.

Here is the help file....


			  ListProcessor 6.0

Here is a brief description of the set of requests recognized by ListProcessor.
Everything appearing in [] below is optional; everything
appearing in <> is mandatory; all arguments are case insensitive. The vertical
bar ("|") is used as a logical OR operator between the arguments. Requests may
be abbreviated, but you must specify at least the first three characters.

Recognized requests are:


help [topic]
------------
Without arguments, this file. Otherwise get specific information on the
selected topic. Topics may also refer to requests. To learn more about this
system issue a 'help listproc' request. To get a listing of all available
topics, generate an error message by sending a bogus request like 'help me'.


set <list> [<option> <arg[s]>]
------------------------------
Without the optional arguments, get a list of all current settings for
the specified list. Otherwise change the option to a new value for that
list. Issue a 'help set' request for more information.


subscribe <list> <your name>
----------------------------
The only way to subscribe to a list. 


unsubscribe <list>
signoff <list>
------------------
Two ways of removing yourself from the specified list.


information <list>
------------------
Get information about the specified list.


lists
-----
Get a list of all local mailing lists that are served by this server, as well
as of all known remote lists.


index [archive | path-to-archive] [/password] [-all]
----------------------------------------------------
Get a list of files in the selected archive, or the master archive if no
archive was specified. If an archive is private, you have to provide its
password as well.


get <archive | path-to-archive> <file> [/password] [parts]
----------------------------------------------------------
Get the requested file from the specified archive. Files are usually split in
parts locally, and in such a case you will receive the file in multiple email
messages -- an 'index' request tells you how many parts the file has been split
into, and their sizes; if you need to obtain certain parts, specify them as
optional arguments. If an archive is private, you have to provide its password
as well.

search <archive | path-to-archive>] [/password] [-all] <pattern>
----------------------------------------------------------------
Search all files of the specified archive (and all of its subarchives if -all
is specified) for lines that match the pattern. The pattern can be an
egrep(1)-style regular expression with support for the following additional
operators: '~' (negation), '|' and '&' (logical OR and AND), '<' '>' (group
regular expressions). The pattern may be enclosed in single or double quotes.
Note: . matches any character including new line.

which
-----
Get a listing of local mailing lists to which you have subscribed.
