Can Eric Thomas or someone solve this puzzle for me? I
submitted jobs in the identical format to two different lists.  They
are running different versions of Listserv (1.7 and 1.8).  In one case
the job worked, in the other it did not.  What has changed?  Is there
a way to use a universal format which will work on either? I hate to
keep tailoring jobs to different versions.  Examples and results
follow:
 
----------------
submitted to QueensU (1.7)
 
 //DELETE JOB  PW=xxxyyy
DELETE JOURNET  DD=DELETES
//DELETES  DD   *
[log in to unmask]
/*
 
submitted to UBuffalo (1.8)
 
 //DELETE JOB  PW=xxxyyy
DELETE MIDEUR-L  DD=DELETES
//DELETES  DD   *
[log in to unmask]
/*
