SHOW: The "average cpu time used" number is, may I say so, junk - unless you LOGOFF/LOGON your LISTSERV at least every four days. CONNECT= in the response to CP Q T holds only two digits in the hours field. Thus if LISTSERV is connected more than 4 days the ratio is wrong. Depending on the load also the TTIME wraps after a few days/weeks. DIAG0C could be used for ttime but I have no (good) idea how to get the exact connect time (other than looking into the VMBLOK/VMDBK). EXPLODE: If I'm not mistaken EXPLODE doesn't consider Mail-Via=DIST2. The actual vs. calculated savings depend on the method of distribution. Furthermore it doesn't suggest the movement (or connection for BESTPEERS) of peers. Christian
