Just to add a bit to what Wendy said . . . the best way to access the WPA-L archives would actually be to go to the archive Web site -- http://lists.asu.edu/archives/wpa-l.html -- and they work just like the CASLL archives: you can search for certain terms or phrases within specified date limits, and it's all immediate, and you get enough context around each instance of the phrase to be able to make a pretty good guess as to whether it's relevant. The email access to listserv archives, like the email access to subscription options, is still available but _very_ clunky. (The folks at LISTSERV still think email is better, but they're command-line-computing snobs.) -- Russ > Contributions sent to this WPA list are automatically archived. > You can get a list of the available archive files by sending an > "INDEX WPA-L" command to [log in to unmask] You can then > order these files with a "GET WPA-L LOGxxxx" command, or using > LISTSERV's database search facilities.
