genealog.learning: A helpful set of suggestions for how to best
contribute to ROOTS-L. This material should probably be incorporated into our
WELCOME file.
roots-l.helpfile:
A useful overview of ROOTS-L and its commands and resources, for both new and
old subscribers.
faq.listserv: An review of LISTSERV commands. Ignore that bit about
ROOTS-L messages appearing in soc.roots and vice versa -- that's no longer the
case.
faq.address: Which address is which? ROOTS-L -vs- LISTSERV, it's
important to keep them straight.
roots-l.catalog:
A fairly current list of the various genealogy files stored on the ROOTS-L
LISTSERV.
genealog.submit: Directions on how to submit an article for genealog
area.
genealog.digest1: More than you probably ever wanted to know about
the DIGEST command for ROOTS-L. If you're just looking for a summary of
commands, a better source would be our
roots-l.welcome2 file.
faq.mischint: Some suggestions on how to write an effective message
and how not. Also a hint on how to get through to an address that bounces,
although I think simply adding the final "M" to the example Genie address
might have been a better cure for the problem :-)
faq.what2ask: A shorter version of the faq.mischint file described
above (which isn't especially long in the first place.)
