Sorry, Douglas.  I'll update it when I get a chance here.  The most
current copies of all documentation are found on the FTP site and not
necessarily on LISTSERV.NET, although we strive to keep updated copies
on that machine.

Again, sorry, but I don't have a definition for you.

Unless Eric answers this question I don't think you're going to get
a specific answer other than what is in the release notes and in the
current LISTDB MEMO.

Excuse me, but I think if you go back you will not see any message from
Eric that says, "Yes, AFD/FUI will appear in version x".  I think you
will find that he has always said that it was in the list of things to do
but that it did not have high priority.  It is definitely not a part of
the non-VM LISTSERV product as it exists today.
