I've asked for a JDBC interface -- the driver availability is much wider 
and it would standardize the program interface to a very large degree (the 
same code for Oracle, Informix, DB2, Postgres, MSSQL, Ingres, Sybase, 
Paradox, ADABAS, DB2, Foxpro, Domino, Gupta, SQLAnywhere... even MySQL if 
you are stuck with it) and would simplify linking the executable in new 
releases. That said, integrating Java interfaces with LISTSERV might be no 
small task (<http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=litotes>).
