Hmm. Well, 15 years ago there weren't no "web" and I know lots of lists and listowners which/who used to maintain large, active filelists. The "web" stuff is good, but so is the filelist for those who can't, or don't wish to, use the "web" and I will not abandon it; it is too valuable. You, also, are a site administrator, which I am not: I can't install a new server of whatever description whenever I please, for this or that function. My "fossils" who remember FUI/AFD and packages tell me they would rather those than the "web" stuff, had they a choice. Douglas
