This is a test message to the new ROOTS-L list at NDSUVM1.
So far only Alf Christophersen and Marty Hoag are members. I am
also setting it up to distribute items from soc.roots . We will
see if that works.

Alf: From NORUNIT you may enter:
TELL LISTSERV AT NDSUVM1 INFO
to get more information on LISTSERV. To contribute something you just
mail it to .

To subscribe to ROOTS-L the request is sent to :
TELL LISTSERV AT NDSUVM1 SUB ROOTS-L Firstname Lastname
Eg: tell listserv at ndsuvm1 sub roots-l Joe Doe

Alf can also enter commands to add people to the list. EG:
tell listserv at ndsuvm1 add roots-l firstname lastname
or delete them with tell listserv at ndsuvm1 delete roots-l

Alf: If something bad happens you can send the command HOLD to hold
the list (eg. if a loop gets going or whatever):

tell listserv at ndsuvm1 hold roots-l
tell listserv at ndsuvm1 free roots-l

If you want to see a list of users send REVIEW ROOTS-L command.

I hope this is useful. Marty
