I'd like to thank Doug for speaking up. Even when I recently asked for some *technical* problems to be resolved, I've gotten virtually no response. As I'm not on a BITNET site, I have no way of modifying my FILELIST myself. LB64 doesn't work on my system, and I know of no alternative means. This forces me to spend precious favors with my Listserv maintainer who doesn't want to -- and shouldn't have to (and frankly, won't) -- do this kind of work. I'd like to think that there should be a way for a list-owner who is neither on BITNET nor on a technically correct Unix site to GET, edit, and PUT his own FILELIST. I note that it's possible to GET a UUencoded version of FILELIST. I wish it were possible to PUT it in a similar fashion. Anyhow, I was surprised at the lack of effective response to a problem that I think would plague all list-owners except those who are based at certain technically-capable sites. So it's not just philosophical/policy questions that aren't being addressed these days. (I will appreciate any further technical help on my stated problem.) -- Roger Burns [log in to unmask]
