Ralph,
 
Sorry for not responding to this sooner -- I was hoping for more positive
LISTSERV feedback and "full-support" for it.  I guess that was just
wishful thinking.
 
Anyway, to get to the point, Yes, this could certainly be done on our
machine.  I'm really swamped with the Paragon right now, and don't have
time to implement it.  I think Vern has been pretty busy, too.  We
have both been told to virtually halt our time spent on LISTSERV except
for the most necessary bare bones maintenance, pending the outcome of
the LISTSERV study (to be concluded in Feb or Mar).
 
I will be taking a couple of weeks off the last two weeks in December.
If you still want this installed, send me a nag then and I'll work
on it while I'm visiting my folks in Cleveland (it'll give me something
"constructive" to do).  :-)
 
 
Peter
