You simply delete the .LIST file from the server.  E.g., for NT, you'd
go into \LISTSERV\MAIN and delete the .LIST file.  For Unix, it would
probably be in the ../home directory. And so forth.

I believe we've updated the installation guide to include this information.
I know we did for NT and I was pretty sure we did for Unix.  I'll have to
double-check to make sure.  It won't be in teh list owner's manual because
generally the list owner doesn't have the privs to delete a list file.
 
Of course, you could have done a database search of the LSTOWN-L or
LSTSRV-L archives--
 
//    JOB    Echo=No
Database Search DD=Rules
//Rules DD *
Select 'delete list' in LSTOWN-L
Index
/*
 
I don't know if "delete list" would have found anything but that would
have been a start.
