The lists are the file server functions are two different things. They
can (and usually are) coupled, but they don't have to. The "Files= Yes"
option in the list headers applies to BITNET files sent (via SENDFILE) to
the list - should they be accepted or not. SET listname FILES controls
whether a particular user gets BITNET files for the list. The files are
always sent via mail if the user has no BITNET access, and always sent in
the format they came in if the user is on BITNET (LISTSERV acts as a
BITNET relay then). These two functions are totally separate from AFD.
AFD controls the distribution of file server files (the kind you order
via GET). You could subscribe to a file with AFD ADD SOME.FILE F=MAIL.
You can use wildcards if there is a matching generic entry in the
FILELIST. Thus, if you define an entry for '* MINUTES', you can subscribe
to *.MINUTES or 94*.MINUTES.
>Just what does FUI do?
FUI sends you a message saying a new file is available, instead of
sending the file itself.
