To get a list and description of all the commands that the GIS-L server offers:
To subscribe to the list:
- Send e-mail to listserver@idi.net (or listserver@urisa.org)
- Put subscribe GIS-L Your Name in the message body
For majordomo servers (look for the word majordomo in the server address), you do not put your name on the
subscribe line, but you can put an e-mail address if you like. Each server has its own quirks. If in doubt, send the help
command and wait for the reply. Save the subscription confirmation notice that the servers send you when you sign up. You'll
need it if you ever decide to unsubscribe.
You will be able to get on any list below. We suggest you subscribe to lists one at a time. GIS-L generates a lot of
traffic. MAPINFO-L is doing a pretty brisk business now too.
Note: If your browser has been configured to send e-mail, you subscribe to or get help from any of the mailing lists
below by clicking on the Server address, which is highlighted. When the e-mail window pops up, fill in the message box with
the appropriate subscription or help line, and send the message.
