A Christmas offering

[Ronald E. Thomas]

Hello GRASSusers:
	There have been a lot of questions coming in to the list lately
that have been previously answered.  It is possible to get the archived
copies of the GRASSusers and GRASSprogramers lists from 
lists-owner at moon.cecer.army.mil .  It requires a little work ( uncompress,
vi & delete header, cat the sections together, uudecode & optionally delete
extraneous header lines).
	Well, the work has been done for you (by me) and placed on the moon
at /grass/incoming.  The files grassp-mail and grassu-mail are ASCII text
files of the entire programmers and users lists from the inception until
30 Nov., with most of the header material edited out.  The grassu-mail file
is 1.8meg, the grassp-mail file < 1meg.
	I've gotten a lot of great advise through the lists, and hope that
these files will help newer subscribers answer some questions that seem to
pop up frequently.  
	Of course, in order for them to work you'll have to 'ftp' them and 
USE them.  
	A simple script file using "grep -i -n" can search the file for a
command/function of interest, returning the line # and text where the 
command/function is found.  You can then use "more" or "vi -R" to access the
file and see what has already been asked and/or answered.  I hope some of
you find this helpful.  
		MERRY CHRISTMAS
