due to local management reasons, I can't put it on another disk right now,
and if you wish to specify another disk, I don't see why one could not
obtain the same result by changing the two 'A's in the * FILEID file
to a letter of their choice.

it warns way before it gets full.
 
>security holes, ESPECIALLY  IF DONE ON  THE A-DISK
 
!!! since the files, the EXECs and MODULES are not listed
in a filelist, listserv does not find them for a GET operation. For PUT,
the password and ID validation is still required, so I don't see how
it can open a security hole. waiting to be enlightened... Regards, -turgut
