I don't know whether this will work for you or not, and I myself don't know the best way to get you in there as owner without blowing away your good backup, but... Revised List Processor (LISTSERV@FRECP11), Release 1.5d Privileged commands for list owners GET listname <(options> <F=fformat> <PW=list_password> ! OLD ! The OLD option indicates that you want to retrieve the "backup" copy of ! the list. Whenever a list is stored by means of a PUT command, a backup ! copy is kept in case you inadvertently stored incorrect information in ! the list. For example, you might have stored the list from peer server ! A into peer server B and vice-versa. No password is required when the ! OLD option is specified, but you must still be an owner of the current ! ("new") list. Steve
