This all works. But here is a problem I like to see addressed:
1. If I do not want 'indefinite' archiving, and I find myself either
deleting files from this disk or expanding it every two months or so,
wouldn't it be nice to
a. have a command that 'compresses' these notebooks. Sends them in compressed
form to the subscribers.
b. let listserv access the 'owner's' disk whenever a notebook needs to be
updates, accessed - and the owner takes responsibility of keeping track of
disk space..
I am shoulder deep into Unix stuff these days - though I am kind of a short
person - so please don't make me write any CMS stuff..
