I will be distributing the change mass exec this afternoon to a list of listserv maintainers that Eric supplied to me. It will be sent out with 4 components: 1) The LSVCHGMS exec 2) The XEDIT profile that does most of the grunt work 3) HELPCMD which gives an explanation of the exec and its use 4) WAKEPARM which should be placed in the WAKEPARM FILE so that the change that I am requesting is automatically performed. Please install this program on your listserv???!!!??? If you will remember, this exec will change all names of BOSTONU to BUACCA on all lists and files. It was written such that anyone else could use this as a facility in the future. Eric Thomas did look at the exec and he said that it appeared OK. He is NOT responsible for the exec -- I am. I have tested it here, on my own listserv, and everything appears to be in order. I would like to thank Eric for his assistance and as well thank you for yours. Hopefully this will be a facility that will make certain administrative/political pickles a bit easier to deal with in the future. If you have any problems -- feel free to contact me, not Eric. - Michael Gettes, Boston University [log in to unmask] (617) 353-2780 (USA)
