I remember a document and possibly some code written by Sylvia Giordano? and stored on one of the European LISTSERVs that described how to build a database, store it on LISTSERV so that it was searchable with the LISTSERV database searching facilities just like the archive logs of a list. I kept those files around until the down-sizers got rid of our VM system. Maybe someone else remembers where those files were and whether or not they would still work with the current VM LISTSERV. ----- Glenn A.
