General Information about the E-Print Archives

xxx.lanl.gov is a fully automated electronic archive and distribution server for research papers.

Started in Aug 1991, it provides an archive for distribution of electronic preprints. Subscribers automatically receive a listing of title/author/abstract information for newly submitted papers on days papers are received, and can retrieve the full papers from the archive. In addition, the archive provides for distribution list maintenance, paper updating, macro package archiving, and primitive searching of papers.

E-mail commands to the system should be sent to arch-ive@xxx.lanl.gov (where arch-ive@... is replaced by the archive of interest, as listed below), with the command in the subject field (e.g., Subject: help ). Outgoing mail from the e-print archive has the username `no-reply' to avoid problems due to occasional mail that bounces back. Only one command at a time is accepted.
