      Title: MORE INSTRUCTIONS ON RETRIEVING FROM THE ARCH

  The archive is very picky with respect to syntax.
  
  To get a recipe you must know two things:
  
  1) the category 2) the name of the recipe. You can re-read Ari's
  instructions on how to get these. For example, one of the categories
  is "bread" and in the bread category, one the recipes is named
  "tomato-bread". To get a copy of that recipe, you must send the
  following exact command to the archive server:
  
  get recipes/breads/tomato-bread
  
  This must be exact, with no extraneous spaces and including the slash
  marks.  The message must also have the word "archive" in the subject
  heading.
  
  You can get a listing of the *CATEGORIES* by sending the command:
  
  ls recipes
  
  Note that this will only return a listing of the categories, not the
  recipe names.
  
  To get a listing of recipes in a specific category, say "breads" send
  the command:
  
  ls recipes/breads
  
  This will list the recipes.  Then to get a recipe you must include
  both the category name and the recipe name in the following *exact*
  format:
  
  get recipes/category-name/recipe-name
  
  You must fully specify the file in this format, including the slash
  marks and without extra spaces. You cannot have lines that have other
  file information such as dxwrx-rx-r or Aug 20 or any such thing.
  
  If you've double-checked your syntax and are sure it is correct, feel
  free to send me a copy of your request (good idea is to send it to
  the archive AND cc: artemis@rahul.net) and I can look to see what is
  wrong.
  
  Good luck, I know this can be confusing for folks not familiar with
  Unix file formating.
