I get enough request to rename lists that I wrote a perl script to do
it. The rename procedure has the advantage of preserving the list
archives. The script is for a Unix installation of Listserv, and you
can download it at: http://listserv.brown.edu/local/rename_list.pl.
You'll want to edit the configuration variables at the beginning, and
I'd suggest also reading through it.
