 It needn't to be said that from  any point of view the listserv DATABASE
 (LSVTALK/LDBASE) are the  most helpful tools the everyday  users have to
 seriously work with lists. BUT ...
  Does someone else has come across the usefulness of the Listserv
  DATABASE in the kind of list like INFO-MAC, IBMPC-L,...  ??
 
 Because of  the list  definition, due to  the editorial  task management
 needed (?), the  notebooks are not saved as 'fn  LOG89004 fm' but rather
 as 'fn 89-00004 fm'.
 This  differentiation  reflect   the  fact  that  in   the  second  ones
 (INFO-MAC, IBMPC-L...)  each notebook is cosidered as a single  NOTE and
 thus, the searching becomes extremely inefficient.
 
 Should it be interesting to recommended to the editors to include at the
 end of  each item, or even  set of items, a tag indicating the  end of a
 subject ? A single ==  may  work?
