RATS Discussion list

The RATS Discussion List is an e-mail discussion group devoted to the use of the RATS software. This provides a wonderful forum for users to exchange questions, suggestions, sample programs, and so on. For instructions on how to subscribe to the "RATS-L" list, see "Joining the List" below.
This "RATS-L" list was created and is maintained by Rob Trevor, a very experienced RATS user from Sydney, Australia.
Important Note to Current Subscribers: The addresses for sending mail to the list (and for sending commands to the list server) have changed. To send a message to all of the subscribers on the list, use the new address:

RATS-L@LISTS.EFS.MQ.EDU.AU

See below for the new address for sending commands to the list server. Although the old addresses will continue functioning for a few more weeks, current subscribers should switch to the new addresses as soon as possible.

If you find that you cannot keep up with the amount of RATS-L mail, you might try receiving it in "digest" mode, where a whole day's messages are bundled into one big piece of e-mail. To get RATS-L as a digest, send

SET RATS-L DIGEST

to the address

MAISER@LISTS.EFS.MQ.EDU.AU

The RATS-L files include the complete archives of the RATS-L list. You can get a list of the files by sending

INDEX

to the address

MAISER@LISTS.EFS.MQ.EDU.AU

Once you've identified the file you wish to retrieve you use the SEND filename command to fetch it. If you have problems with this facility, or questions, please mail them to

RATS-L-OWNER@EFS.MQ.EDU.AU.
