I think you are probably referring to a perl script that I posted some years ago. Rather than posting it again, I've made it available on the web at: http://oz.uc.edu/~wheeledd/lsv/ This script decodes the subscriber options and puts them at the beginning of the line. It results in a subscriber list with one line per subscription. The options are indicated with reasonable codes in fixed column positions. For instance, it shows concealed subscriptions with a C in column 4. Two caveats: L-Soft discourages the direct use of the encoded options. They are subject to change without warning. The script was written for 1.8b and it quit working when 1.8c came out. I fixed it for 1.8c and I'm pleased that it still seems to be working for 1.8d. It was written for a VAX VMS system. It will require modification to run on anything else. I hope this helps. Peace, Dan << Daniel D.
