Well, you can still use LISTVIEW  (with the proper options) to export the
xxx.list file to a  text file, which you can then  manipulate as you want
(minding the column alignment - just like on VM). You can rename xxx.list
to  xxx.oldlist  and then  rename  the  edited  list to  xxx.list.  After
restarting LISTSERV  (like on VM, you  have to stop it  when playing with
list membership data),  it will reimport all the lists  for you. It's not
quite as simple, but it can be  done. Once you have a little REXX program
to go through all your lists, export them, call another program to make a
change and replace them, all you need to change is the program that makes
the change you want, whatever that might  be today. Now if IBM would only
port PIPE to NT...
