Greetings,
 
        I hear, from various sources, that there is a
Listserv for Unix. I'm skeptical, but willing to be led to
believe....
 
        A Unix Listserv would have, I suppose, these
features of VM/CMS Listserv (and probably more):
 
        1. Instances of the Unix Listserv and instances of
the VM Listserv would form a single collection, each element
aware of the location of each other.
 
        2. DIST2 and RFD functions would be available
(however they work in a mixed Internet-Bitnet world).
 
        3. GET and PUT commands conveyed to an instance of a
Unix Listserv would be handled as we are used to.
 
        4. SUBSCRIBE, SIGNOFF, ADD, DELETE, would work as in
VM.
 
        5. A Unix Listserv could be managed "at a distance",
by sending commands and files (presumably by MAIL, for the
Unix version), just as the VM version can.
 
        Does such a thing really exist?
 
Cheers, N.
