archives of Advaitin

[Guest guest]

Earlier today, I was trying to locate a particular article of interest

to me. I am not sure how the archives can be used for search or print.

 

1. Search for an article: How do we trace an article by a particular

author or on a particular subject matter or a particular title ?

 

2. Printing of an article: Assuming somehow we located the article of

interest, how do we print the single article. It seems to me we have to

print the whole digest.

 

I thought, with the advance of the web-page designs and storage, we can

certainly include a search engine and print of a particular article

facility. Or, am I missing some particular commands? I wonder if,

either Shri Ram Chandran or some other knowledgeable persons in the

field can educate me in this.

Greetings Murthygaru:

 

You have raised some valid questions and let me try to explain my

understanding:

 

First, this list does not provide a search engine to look for an article

using key word specifications. This is one of the many limitations of

free mailing lists!

 

Second, to print any specific article within a digest for any specific

date, you should copy the article using the browser commands and paste

it on a Dos Window or Wordprocessing window and print the article.

This is quite tedius and this is the only way!

 

University List Servers are ideally suited for running a mailing list

such as Advaitin but only faculty and students are only permitted to

moderate a mailing list. As you may aware, the archives of Advaita-L

when it was in TAMU.EDU are searchable. However, currently inside the

private computer, the list no more has search facility! Search Facility

will be quite nice to have and personally, I do not like digests by day,

I would prefer them weekly. In the near future, may provide

those resources.

 

I have searched for a mailing list server with search capabilities and I

haven't found one. If you or anyone in this list knows any a mailing

list server with more features, please send me a Email.

 

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation,

 

Ram Chandran
