Thanks Jacob, I'll be home soon and I'll work on it. I'm told I should upgrade my hosting plan to include at least 4 gigs of Ram. I'm using 1 gig now. So I'll have to migrate operations to a new server first. I have a VPS server with a few .coms there now, so lots more than just the listserv to migrate.

It’s an executable, and you would use it to install LISTSERV using the instructions at http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/16.0/install/LISTSERV16.0_InstallManual_UNIXSimplified.htm , rather than running some uncompression utility on it. > > If you’re using the .tar.Z files, then you should be able to extract them using the uncompress and tar commands as described at http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/16.0/install/LISTSERV16.0_InstallManual_UNIX.htm#_Toc290567944 . If this isn’t working, then can you give the exact commands you’re using to extract the files, and the errors that are resulting? > > -jwgh > > To unsubscribe from the LSTSRV-L list, click the following link: > http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa-PEACH.exe?SUBED1=LSTSRV-L&A=1 ############################ To unsubscribe from the LSTSRV-L list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa-PEACH.exe?SUBED1=LSTSRV-L&A=1
