Can some one tell me how to subscribe SAS list server? By F.J. Kelley
Email: jkelley@ARCHES.UGA.EDU
SAS-L is a "peered" list. that means it resides on several Listservers and whatever is posted to one will be reposted to the others. It is also gated to the newsgroup "comp.soft-sys.sas".
Below is a portion of the FAQ maintained by Tim Berryhill:
Q) How do I read the messages?
The easiest way is to read the newsgroup comp.soft-sys.sas.
To have the messages mailed to you as they are available, send e-mail to any of the mail servers:

listserv@vm.marist.edu Marist University
listserv@listserv.vt.edu Virginia Polytechnic University
listserv@listserv.uga.edu University of Georgia
listserv@AKH-WIEN.AC.AT University of Vienna

The subject line is ignored and the body should contain the command: subscribe sas-l your name here
e.g. subscribe sas-l Tom Smith is how Tom Smith would subscribe.

If you would like to use the "mirrored site - comp.soft-sys.sas", here is a few options in order to use your browser (via internet) to view/post messages to comp.soft-sys.sas:

If possible, configure your browser to read the newsgroup "comp.soft-sys.sas". You need to do this in the email portion of your browser (Communicator for Netscape, Outlook Express for IE).
If the prior step is unsuccessful, then try using "www.deja.com". You need to register with www.deja.com and then subscribe to the newsgroup "comp.soft-sys.sas". Then you can use your browser to access SAS-l via comp.soft-sys.sas through "www.deja.com", and you will be able to view/reply/post to this newsgroup via your browser. However as of 2/12/2001, Deja.com has turned over its news lists to Google.com and I am not sure how good this will be in the future.

Or try this, Deja.com forum: comp.soft-sys.sas (mirrored site for SAS-L)

Or try this, http://www.mailgate.org/comp/comp.soft-sys.sas/index.html

A Brand NEW Approach as of 3/7/2000 using your browser to access SAS-L - and my recommended method to read, reply and post to SAS-L!
Point your browser to http://www.listserv.uga.edu/archives/sas-l.html. And Register your email address first before you can reply to SAS-L postings, then reply to confirming confirmation email, and you are all set to browse SAS-L directly as well as search past postings with the search facility!!!
Take a look at the SAS Online Video Tutorials ( www.sconsig.com) and download the video to see how to access SAS-L via a web browser
Good Luck and look forward to your contributions to SAS-L.
