I think Eric mentioned the new version in September when he made a new LSV$FORW EXEC available but I put that on my list of "things to do" since I had some local mods. Well the old LSV$FORW EXEC we were using broke while testing 1.7e. Someone else mentioned that his happened when they installed 1.7e also. If you use the /FORWARD command in LISTSERV you probably want to do a GET LSV$FORW EXEC from [log in to unmask] The current one (well - the one that works on 1.7e) is dated 9/17/92. When I last checked a few days ago the LSV$FORW EXEC was the only thing that had changed in the FORWARD PACKAGE. Marty
