There were two files, A very small one which you received (MEMO15K UPDATE)
and a larger one containing the update job.  If you have a password defined
in your LOCAL SYSVARS file it will be held and you will be notified.  If you
don't it will be received and your LISTSERV automatically rebooted.
 
For those of you with source, there was also an ASM17K SHIPMENT File which
you also should have received.  I got my memo yesterday afternoon, and the
ASM file was in my reader this morning.
 
Postmasters can issue the listserv command "INSTALL STATUS" which will
provide output like that shown below.

I did some manual checking, and it looks like the path the update file would
follow is via RITVM, which is on the CORNELLC side of the PSUVM-CORNELLC
path.  At this time, that link is down, and when I did a Q SY Q to PSUVM's
RSCS, it said there were 2,069 files queued for CORNELLC.  My guess is that
the missing file is waiting to get across that link.  All we can do at this
time is wait and see...
