TOPICS only works with MAIL distribution, and not DIGEST nor INDEX. As far as using size limitation on DIGEST distribution to delimit so that FAQs are sent separately, good luck :-( -- I think you'll be changing your size limits every other month. Hey, I've got an idea? Why not setup your FAQ as a file and store it in a filelist, then folks can "subscribe" to it either as a Automatic File Distribution (AFD) or Update Notification (FUI). The file can be automagically distributed as e-mail or a file e.g., AFD ADD FAQ list F=MAIL (FUIs are already mail.) You could still provide your own psuedo-FUI on-list by "normal" postings saying, "I've updated the FAQ file -- you may retrieve it by ..." Those that are interested will followup on your advise. /Pete ([log in to unmask]) -- co-owner INFOSYS, TQM-L, CPARK-L, et -L -- Peter M.
