Hello, I have been postmaster of TEMPLEVM's listserv for only a couple of weeks. There are some questions that I have which have not been found in the documentation. Perhaps you know how to answer them. 1) I just created a list for a faculty member. This person would like to use his list to store files for retrieval only by those who are subscribed to this list. I know about the LSVPUT command, where you first set up a directory for the files, then use LSVPUT to place the files into the directory. The documentation is not clear on this though. One major question, is can I have the files stored on the CMS account for that LISTSERV rather than on the LISTSERV account? 2) I keep getting a message that some sort of information is out of date and that I should request the UPDNODES DESCRIPT for NETSERV AT BITNIC. The only problem is that NETSERV rejects my request with the explanation that I am not authorized to make such a request. Why is this so? I was making the request from my postmaster account. Should I request this file directly from the LISTSERV account itself? 3) Next, I was wondering whether or not there is some sort of book one can get on LISTSERVS and LISTS. I have lots of documentation that is available for a LISTSERV, but it is very fragmented. Does any know of book that I can read? Any help you can provide will be appreciated. I am in unfamiliar territory with LISTSERV, but I am sure anxious to learn more. Please send information to STAN AT TEMPLEVM.BITNET. I will summarize any answers for those who request that I do so.
