Before I leave for UK I have sent out a 1.5k update via the INSTALL mechanism to put all servers back to the same level with the same bugs being fixed everywhere. You should have an UPD15K MEMO in your reader by now. Most European sites have already been updated, and the stuff has now crossed the US border (BITNIC was updated too). I hope it will be received everywhere before tomorrow so you can contact me before I leave if there is a problem. Anyway I'll be on ET@UKACRL after that, but I won't have a LISTSERV at hand to make tests. Everything seems to have worked quite nicely up to now. The EB0UB012 server died but according to Jose Maria, it uses disks shared with the EB0UB011 server (some of their physical DASD are shared between the 2 systems) which makes updating very tricky. Nuria, I think you should modify its LOCAL SYSVARS to disallow automatic update. The IBACSATA server seems to have lost all the shipment files. It also forwarded all of its DISTRIBUTE job to TAUNIVM which hopefully managed to do the distribution. Giovanni, could you check that out to see what has happened? The USCVM server said that the INSTALL command was unknown, and that maybe I would have more luck if I tried a HELP command. That's funny since it pretends to be at 1.5j... Jose, could you check its STDCMD FILE? I'm describing these problems on the list so that if you encounter one of these, you know that it has already happened and that someone might have found the problem :-) Anyway good luck, Eric
