Well, what I want to do here on JHUVM is just use the Listserv UDD
facility for lookups. If I remember right (I do have the /WHOIS
package installed), /WHOIS uses the SIGNUP FILE, which is not just
for it's own use. So, your queries will return anyone who ever
SUB'd to a list or sent a REGISTER command. Plus, I thought that
the author had stopped supporting it? UDD is a much better solution,
even if your users (like mine) want a cutesy front end for adding
themselves to the database. (Sigh!)
