This CONFIRM business has also got me confused. First, I confirmed using the syntax recommended by the "please CONFIRM" note. The LISTSERV told me that I was not subscribed to the respective LISTS. Then I saw the following message: --- jr>But for those of use who do need to use the confirm: the syntax given is jr>non-functional, it seems to want lots of "+" signs along the lines of: jr>CONFIRM EMBL+DB jr>CONFIRM +GENBANK jr>CONFIRM BIO+SOFT jr>CONFIRM +BIONEWS jr>Yours, (confused but confirmed), Jasper Rees --- So... I followed this syntax, and the LISTSERV has just (re)-told me that I am not subscribed to the relevant LISTS. Hmmmm! Any tips? yours (confused and still not confirmed), John Nash.
