I am having a problem with a list that stores copies of a newsletter. The list does not store notebooks and is only used as a repository for the notebooks. Let me preface what I am going to say with the fact that I am a pseudo-postmaster [I believe Eric calls them "weak" postmasters :-)] for LISTSERV here at V.T. Anyway, in the process of helping this listowner with a problem saving files to her list, I resaved the <list-name> FILEID file, in which I changed the *DEFAULT* line: from: *DEFAULT* X5 to: *DEFAULT* X5/201 (Yes this list has an entry in the LOCAL SYSVARS file and is linked as LISTSERV's 201 disk). The file saved "successfully", but now every time I save a file to this list it is rejected and I get a message saying it was transfered to POSTMAST... When I "REFRESH" the list the FILELIST then shows that NONE of the previously stored files are available (all periods and LRECL 0's). I tried several iterations of saving the FILEID file then the FILELIST file but always the same response. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. I even went to the extreme of logging on to LISTSERV and saving a (previously stored copy, I never trust anything I do to fate), correct copy of the FILEID and FILELIST file. Still the same result when a file is saved (put) or the list refreshed. Rather than resort to resaving all the stored files, and letting LISTSERV rebuild the FILELIST and FILEID files, is there anything else I can do? One more question, why do all the files become "unavailable" when the FILELIST is refreshed? (that one has me stumped!). Thanks! --Greg Kroll
