The STATS command works only on the IBM VM operating system, the system
for which LISTSERV(tm) was originally written.  It is one of several
commands and features which have not YET been ported to Unix, VMS, and
other versions of LISTSERV(tm).  It is being worked on.
 
As home.ease.lsoft.com is running under WindowsNT, it does not yet have the
STATS command.  However, it is generally the most current public version of
LISTSERV(tm) running because it is also a development testbed for new
features.  In fact, several features of the soon to be released Ver 1.8C of
LISTSERV(tm) are already running on home.ease on a "gamma" test basis.
Users of the home.ease lists are on the 'cutting edge' LISTSERV(tm)
development.  ;)
