I have, and have read, U01-012-0 "LISTDB MEMO", and a very nice memo it is, telling me everything I need to know to use the database functions except-- how to set one of the little dickens up. I gather from the preface that I need the "Application Programmer's Guide", A01-004, which I do *not* have, cannot find, and would desperately like to obtain. I've been able to play with a test list I have (yes, I'm a new listserv-er & apologize in advance if the solution to this is obvious--it isn't to me!), and since it is archived, I've been able to play with the database functions. Our site could probably use this feature, but it's going to be tough if I don't know how to set up any other kind of database! While I'm at it, other memos I can't find but would like to are: M01-002 "List Manager's Guide" S01-005 "Maintenance Guide" M01-008 "File Maintainer's Guide" I sort of get the feeling that maybe these items never got finished--I hope I'm wrong. (I have gotten useful memos from Ben Chi, Diane Kovacs, and Lisa Covi--I'm looking out for other useful stuff.) At any rate, if you can even point me to a server, I'd 'preciate it greatly.
