Hello, I have been postmaster of TEMPLEVM's listserv for only a couple of
weeks. There are some questions that I have which have not been found in the
documentation. Perhaps you know how to answer them.
1) I just created a list for a faculty member. This person would like
to use his list to store files for retrieval only by those who are
subscribed to this list. I know about the LSVPUT command, where you
first set up a directory for the files, then use LSVPUT to place the
files into the directory. The documentation is not clear on this
though. One major question, is can I have the files stored on the
CMS account for that LISTSERV rather than on the LISTSERV account?
2) I keep getting a message that some sort of information is out of date
and that I should request the UPDNODES DESCRIPT for NETSERV AT BITNIC.
The only problem is that NETSERV rejects my request with the explanation
that I am not authorized to make such a request. Why is this so? I was
making the request from my postmaster account. Should I request this
file directly from the LISTSERV account itself?
3) Next, I was wondering whether or not there is some sort of book one can
get on LISTSERVS and LISTS. I have lots of documentation that is
available for a LISTSERV, but it is very fragmented. Does any know of
book that I can read?
Any help you can provide will be appreciated. I am in unfamiliar territory
with LISTSERV, but I am sure anxious to learn more.
Please send information to STAN AT TEMPLEVM.BITNET. I will summarize any
answers for those who request that I do so.
