Those files have been part of LISTSERV since 1986. They were originally named using the 8x8 file naming convention under VM/CMS. There was no reason to change the names when LISTSERV was ported to the "workstation" operating systems, thus they remain with those names to this day.

Peers.namesum Permvars.file Bitearn.nodes Seems to me, if these are legit, they could perhaps be named better. ________________________________ 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
