We moved LISTSERV from VM to Solaris last year and are no longer restricted to 8-character list names. Consequently, we have adopted a naming convention for course-related lists which identifies the department, course, section, and semester for which the list was created. In addition, archives for all course-related lists for a given semester are stored in the same subdirectory tree. For example, a list for MATH 101, section 1 for the Fall 1999 semester would be named MATH101-01-FA99, and its archives would be located in the /archives/courses-fa99/math101-01-fa99 directory. This is not particularly elegant, but it works for us. -- Paul Russell Senior Systems Administrator University of Notre Dame email: [log in to unmask]
