----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I am the owner of HSPNET-L@albnydh2 (a list for hospital consulting networks). I would like some advice on how to avoid, as far as possible, the wearisome,repeated downloading and modification of the filelist for inserting, new package groups, new files and filetypes, updating old ones, etc. There is also a security reason why this frequent switching of filelists is undesirable. I have seen quite a lot of discussion about this problem and since we are a "newborn" list, I would like to adopt the consensus view about the best approach. It would be helpful to obtain both documentation and an example of the preferred method so that I can pass this along to our systems managers. Many thanks, DFP *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* |Donald F.
