------------------------
To Transfer Existing Archive Files (Windows)
------------------------

1. FTP the existing archive files down from the old LISTSERV server in
binary mode and save them on your computer.

2. If necessary, change all file names to use all uppercase characters and
rename them to use the new listname. For example,
LISTNAME.LOG#####

3. Upload the old archive files to the LISTSERV server into the list's
archive folder.

4. Delete these two files in the list's archive folder:
LISTNAME.DBINDEX
LISTNAME.DBNAMES

5. Restart the LISTSERV service to regenerate DBINDEX and DBNAMES, which
will add the uploaded archive files to the archive index.

If you were running LISTSERV on a unix platform, I would suggest the
following:
* shutdown LISTSERV;
* move all archive files to the new location;
* replace the old archives directory with a symbolic link pointing to
   the new archives location; and
* restart LISTSERV.

I assume, however, that you are running LISTSERV on Windows. Can you create
a symbolic link on Windows? If not, then you will have to update the path
parameter in the Notebook= statement in every affected list.
