I've written WLV. Currently it is written for EnterpriseWeb, but it originally was for WEBSHARE, and if you make a few minor mods to WEBSHARE, it can run most of it also. (For those running VM:Webserver, I have it setup so it shouldn't be a large amount of work to port there.) It uses undocumented Listserv interfaces, and I'm not big on writing documentation, but you can look at http://www.marist.edu/vm/web/wlv.vmarc for the 2.1 version. It's a personal project, but we're starting to use it for things here, and I'd welcome suggestions and comments. (Though being a personal project, when I'm out, I'm out) I've also started a Owner and Postmaster interface. It isn't WA (the L-Soft web archive interface). > >They want something like CataList from the L-Soft site, but it HAS >to run on VM because that's what we have for now.
