Since the LISTS Database already exists on some LISTSERVs I'd like to have numbers on the resources (esp. DASD space) needed to house it. If they are reasonable I'd also take it. Christian P.S.: I got complaints from several users saying "I've read the MEMO but it doesn't tell me the name of any Database to start with". I must agree that this point is not very clear in the description. What if your first 'SELECT *' with no additional parms would give you a list of available databases ? (Even if you're smart enough to use the name of a list you'd never find BITEARN or LISTS) <CR
