For some reason my PUT LINKWST FILE did not reach the states. I guess it ended up being distributed via one of the Italian LISTSERVs which for some reason never work satisfactorily (when the link to them is not just down for good). I sent a PUT to BITNIC and we'll see what happens. LISTSERV@ICNUCEVM should soon be operational and this will probably solve our problem as it appears to be more reliable than IBACSATA. Eric
