I disagree -- the more functionality you can put into ONE DVM, the better. It's fine if you have plenty of resources to throw at a problem, but when one more DVM means that you can't log on another user, it's wrong, period. I like the ap proach that Eric has taken in combining both LISTSERV and a distribution server . It makes it possible for us to support such a thing. It makes it possible for us to support such a thing. I vote to leave the DISTRIBUTE code within LISTSERV. This poor 4341-1 just can' t handle another DVM.
