The LIST files contain data in columns 81- that should not be altered. At
present there is  no hex (ie binary, nonprintable) data  in it, but there
are characters whose case should NOT be altered.
 
On the LSVSORT issue:  the list MUST be sorted after  a new subscriber is
added, otherwise you may have distribution problems. Putting the names of
all the recipients in the SIGNUP  file is not mandatory however. But then
it gets done for ADD and SUBSCRIBE, so  it is only logical to do it for a
PUT. However this is not done for an  ADD, and it shouldn't be done for a
SUBSCRIBE either. However, a quick look  at the code showed that I forgot
to put the NOSIGNUP option on the LSVSORT call in LSVSUBSC. It definitely
ought to  be there. Just  append the string  ') NOSIGNUP' to  the LSVSORT
call in LSVSUBSC and it will fix your problem.
