Did you issue it and get an unknown command error? It's been around for ages. I see references to it clear back to 1.6d and the implication is that it existed before that.<< I get 'Unknown CP/CMS command.' when issuing it from the LISTSERV account. I'd already seen the command in the manual (wasn't sure what <WTONLY> meant as a variable) but issuing the command separately or with a variable causes the same 'Unknown CP/CMS command.' to appear. It is indeed old WUVMD.WUSTL.EDU but I've had to download the files manually since I started watching over things several years ago. This is the first time we've had a problem. I've had the procedure stored in a file so I can just copy/paste the commands in without worrying about typos. I assume it's been ftping as text since this is the first (possible) problem. I tried switching back to the old BITEARN NODES file from the previous update, just to make sure that there wasn't a problem with the new file, but the same errors and problems with distribution continued.

I don't know for a fact that the two issues are related.<< I notice that our INTPEERS and PEERS NAMES files are dated, respectively 12/30/99 and 12/20/99. These need updates, too?? --Garrie
