There has been a little change in the automatic subscription/unsubscription
format. The listserv@uib.no address will still work, but the subscribe
line may no longer include the personal name. I enclose a new version of the
welcoming message.
If you experience any problems due to this change, please contact my
personal address or the corpora-request@hd.uib.no address.

CORPORA@HD.UIB.NO (last updated 5 May 1995)
===================================================
Welcome to the text corpora distribution list!
The CORPORA list is open for information and questions about text
corpora such as availability, aspects of compiling and using corpora,
software, tagging, parsing, bibliography, etc.
I hope that you will be able to share information, questions, answers,
programs etc. with the other members on the list.
The list is unmoderated, but if necessary, it may be moderated in the
future. Messages are sent automatically to all the memberes on the list (more
than 900).

ADDRESSES
=========
MAJORDOMO@UIB.NO For subscribe/unsubscribe messages
CORPORA@HD.UIB.NO For messages to EVERYBODY ON THE LIST
DO NOT USE THIS ADDRESS FOR ADM. MESSAGES!
CORPORA-REQUEST@HD.UIB.NO For adm. messages
Use this address if you have problems with the
automatic system for unsubsription
FILESERV@HD.UIB.NO For file requests via e-mail (see below)
The list will be archived on the machine nora.hd.uib.no.
Archive files can most easily be read via Gopher or
World Wide Web (WWW), URL: http://nora.hd.uib.no/corpora.log.html
Files can also be fetched via FTP or e-mail, see below.
It will be possible to upload files, either by mail to
corpora-request (text files and binhex/uuencoded files) or by FTP.
Files can also be sent on diskettes.
The list is hosted at the Norwegian Computing Centre for the Humanities
in Bergen, Norway. Information stored at our machine nora.hd.uib.no
can be accessed in several ways:
FILESERV
========
The machine nora.hd.uib.no has been established as a mail
based server for the Norwegian Computing Centre for the Humanities.
Information is grouped in different directories, some of which have
information in Norwegian only.
Some of the available directories:
corpora Information from the distribution list CORPORA, log files etc.
icame International Computer Archive of Modern English
info Information on texts, projects etc., mostly in English
konferanser Information on conferences, mostly in English
mac Macintosh programs
ncch Norwegian Computing Centre for the Humanities
Information in English
nettinfo Information on network resources, mostly in English
pc MS-DOS programs
unix Unix programs
The server is called FILESERV and runs the DECWRL archive server.
FILESERV accepts three types of commands; several commands can
be placed in the body of the mail message. However, the results will
be sent in one file, so do not request several large files in one
message. The commands are:
Help Help file
Index Top level index
Index <directory> Index for a directory
send <directory> <filename> Fetch a file in a directory
(more than one file name can be given, use space
between file names)
Due to limitations in the mail responder software, only retrieve files
from the same directory in one message. If you want to retrieve files from
2 or more directories, send 2 or more messages.
Example:
You want to get the index for the CORPORA and the KONFERANSER directories
and the file log.started.920918 in the CORPORA directory.
Send the following two notes ("index" and "send" commands cannot be put in the
same message, the "send" commands will then be ignored):
----------------
To: fileserv@nora.hd.uib.no
Subject: whatever
index corpora
index konferanser
----------------
To: fileserv@nora.hd.uib.no
Subject: whatever
send corpora log.started.920918
----------------
Other log files available:
log.started.921006
log.started.920918
log.started.921116
log.started.930113
log.started.930528
log.started.930831
log.started.931217
log.started.940315
log.started.940726
log.started.941214
log.started.950505
FTP SERVER
==========
The files are also available via anonymous FTP from
nora.hd.uib.no (129.177.24.42).
To make use of this server, you must have access to a machine
connected to Internet with TCP/IP and a program running the FTP protocol.
Example:
To get the directories of the server write the following:
ftp nora.hd.uib.no
anonymous
your-e-mail-address
cd pub
dir
The server has a directory for uploading, this is writeable but not readable.
cd incoming
(binary) (if transfer of programs or 8-bit data)
put xx-program.zip
Please send a note and a description to CORPORA-REQUEST if you upload
any files!
Other commands:
get <file>
mget <dir-mask> (to get several files, example: mget *.ex)
cd <directory> (change directory)
cd .. (up on level in the directory tree)
binary (set binary transfer, for transfer of programs or 8-bit files)
ascii (set transfer of text data)
GOPHER SERVER
=============
The information is now also available through our Gopher server at
nora.hd.uib.no (port 70). If you are connected to the Internet (with
TCP/IP protocol), you can get client versions of Gopher for MS-DOS,
Macintosh and Unix. Gopher is a tree structured menu system and several
hundred servers are connected.
Main menu on the nora.hd.uib.no machine:
