GUIDELINES FOR SEARCHING THE ARCHIVE

Here are three brief examples of how to query the listserver archives:

To search for all appearances of the string "search_string", send a message to LISTSERV@listserv.uoguelph.ca with text body such as (in the third example "ERIC" is a sample name):

Search search_string IN swmm-users
Search search_string IN swmm-users SINCE 2004/04/17
Search search_string IN swmm-users WHERE SENDER CONTAINS ERIC

For further info on the syntax see: http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8d/owner/appenda.html       or similar

The server returns an email with the required information, e.g. sending

> Search PCSWMM IN swmm-users

produces a summary:

> 1021 matches (only the first 100 will be shown).
