Ah, but there *is* a way to do this safely. You do it on a Unix
machine and use Erik Fair's programs.
As I have said here before I have a copy of his stuff, it is installed
and running fairly well for the couple of test gateways I have
set up, AND I have a job from him to do -- to set up gatewaying
for ALL of the listserv groups into/outof inet distributed newsgroups.
I've looked around on my own and found that doing INDEX ALL at
a LISTSERV will return me an almost nice list of the lists. Almost
nice because the list name isn't listed on every line -- so to have
a program parsing it would take a small amount of extra work (yes,
you can all go AAAAWWWWW now, it *does* make the job harder, and
the harder the job the less likely I'll be to find the time to do it).
I haven't closely looked at the average mail file from a listserv
yet to see if Erik's programs will do the right thing. But I beleive
they will.
All of the major problems are now known to be solvable, so now all
that remains is to do it.
The problem there is that I will not be here (i.e. at U of KY) in
6 months. I don't want to set up something of this magnitude and
then walk away from it, mainly because my replacement is not as
experienced as I am.
So ... the job remains to be done. Any volunteers?
