"LISTSERV" is the name of a program I wrote that is available only for VM
mainframes at the  moment. "ListProcessor" is the name of  a mailing list
manager  for  unix  that  drew  inspiration from  some  of  the  LISTSERV
concepts. It is NOT a unix version  of LISTSERV. It is not compatible, it
doesn't have the same features, it is configured and maintained in a very
different way, it  doesn't work in the same distributed  way as LISTSERV,
in  other words,  it  is not  the  same thing.  Saying  that LISTSERV  is
available  for unix  is like  saying that  MacOS is  available for  intel
processors, it's just called "Windows 3.1".
