Turgut, why  are you sending  the LISTEARN code  to sites like  CEARN and
LEPICS which have NOT signed the LISTEARN agreement, and WITHOUT WARNING?
There are 25  sites which signed the LISTEARN agreement,  minus 6 running
1.6, so you  should have distributed your  code to 19 sites.  You seem to
have distributed it also to the 17  sites which are running 1.5o but have
not signed the  LISTEARN agreement, ie almost TWICE the  number of sites.
Unless you did it on purpose, you  should have noticed it as you prepared
the  list!  Even  if  you  didn't, you  should  have  seen  your  mistake
immediately when  you got the  note from LISTSERV@LEPICS  saying "Unknown
command -  INSTALL", on  the 15th  of march,  ie almost  1 week  ago. You
should  have IMMEDIATELY  warned all  the sites  in question,  using your
PHONE if necessary,  so that they could take immediate  action to prevent
the installation  of LISTEARN  on their  machine - as  you know,  some of
these sites have defined you as LMC  so that you can update their copy of
PEERS NAMES, and their servers would then accept updates from you.
 
Do you realize what  would have happened if there had  not been queues at
TREARN, and the code had been installed too quickly for me to notice your
mistake? People  would have had to  restore the code from  a backup while
preserving the current data files (and that is assuming that LISTEARN 1.0
does not change any  of the data files in a way  that makes it impossible
to go back to  1.5o, otherwise it becomes a nightmare!).  And what if one
of these sites made a mistake while  restoring, and ran a mixture of 1.5o
and 1.0???
 
Anyway,  if  you are  running  1.5o  and  have  not signed  the  LISTEARN
contract, please  purge all the  files called  LISTEARn JOB in  USER hold
status from the reader of your LISTSERV; this will cause the installation
to fail with a "missing spool file" error.
