Given the state of the LSoft web site, I would guess that 1.8e will be announced as available soon. LISTSERV is known to be easy to upgrade in the past, but I wonder if people familiar with the new version can comment on specific areas to look at. For example, (1) can one go to 1.8e & then back off to 1.8d? (I.e., is there a problem with any new data structures?) (2) I've tailored a few site templates and certainly my list-owners have tailored some list templates. Do any of these *need* to be changed? Have any templates been dropped from use? Anyone know which templates have been changed a little or a lot? (3) Corollary to (2): How does a list-owner see the new default templates (without killing the currently modified templates)? I would imagine LSoft and Beta testers could be most useful to us in these and perhaps other respects. AdvaTHANKS!nce, wayne Wayne T.
