I have been ordered by the administration here to prepare OREGON1 for permanent shutdown within the next few months, to be replaced by one of the new 6xxx Vax/VMS systems. Part of this process, of course, involves moving all the subscribers to our LISTSERV lists, changing owner addresses, etc, etc. Thus, I have some requests to the LISTSERV postmasters out there: 1) We currently host the following lists: PC-L Info-IBMPC redistribution ~300 subscribers MAC-L Info-Mac redistribution ~300 " SAS-L SAS (tm) discussion ~150 " SPSSX-L SPSSx discussion ~150 " Is anyone (preferably on the west coast) willing to pick up these lists? Please contact me ASAP if you can. 2) Support for LDBASE.COM (my VMS version of the LISTSERV database interface) will be moving to my research account, DBOYES@UOREGON or [log in to unmask] I'm not happy AT ALL about this. Anybody need a slightly used VM programmer/consultant? Will travel... P.S. -- Gosh, this was like writing an epitaph for a friend. Does everyone go through this when a good machine shuts down? 8-)
