Yes, do before putting files up. First, get the filelist and include the (CTL switch: GET MEDLAB-L FILELIST (CTL PW=XXXXXXXX Then edit the filelist as shown below and send back to LISTSERV@UALTAVM Make sure the PUT command is the first line. Make sure filenames and filetypes are upper case. NOTE: Filename and Filetype can each be a max of 8 characters, so I changed the name of "SELECTED MEDICAL RESOURCES". PUT MEDLAB-L FILELIST PW=XXXXXXX * * This file lists the programs that are stored on LISTSERV and can be * retrieved by network users. Certain programs are not intended for * common use and their retrieval is restricted. * * If an entry shows nrecs=0 the file is not available. * * This filelist may be sorted in columns 47 to 63 to get a list of * files in the order of their updates.
