Since the "Revised LISTSERV System Reference Library" is coming to life
(although the release numbers range from 1.5f to 1.6(!) ) we can expect
documentation on all the new and nice functions in some time.
(wish #1 - fulfillment in progress)
Since there is a Mail-Via=DISTRIBUTE could we have (or do we have
already ?) the same for files via a LIST ? This would make DISTRIBUTE
easier to use.
(wish #2 - a decent one ?)
Is someone out there who takes the effort to write a something like
LSVPUT to make it easier for DCBCs (Dull Carbon-Based Computers) to
create a DISTRIBUTE Job ? (I think it would be used more often if there
were such a thing - in this hours some heavily flickering link works on
a number (>10) of identical files to pass where one would have been
sufficient).
(wish #3 - still waiting for the fairy to pop up)
And - could the syntax of TO in the DISTRIBUTE be expanded to allow
Listnames besides u@n ? (I know, this would reduce efficiency since
there could and will be some "backward" distribution from the peers but
it would be an intermediate solution until fairy #3 comes).
(wish #4 - don't ask)
Christian
