I suppose, of course, that this is an exclusive prerogative of EARN, and that *I* never send LISTSERV to new sites, provide fixes to them, enhance the code, etc. This, and the fact that IBM systems are so easy to take care of since the inception of SES, is probably the reason why I have so much time left to make bad publicity about the other server. Turgut, I think you should seriously consider giving up your job as a full-time EARN employee working on LISTEARN, and start working as a High Energy Physics VM/XA systems programmer instead; then you'd have much more time to work on LISTEARN. Eric PS: Funny... LISTSERV@CEARN crashed on a corrupted archive disk on the very note that Turgut sent to LSTSRV-L, held the list, and stopped working. I had to spend 20 minutes to make a new minidisk, move the archive files one after the other, check for lost data, etc. Then I could release Turgut's note. If I had known, I would have gone off for the weekend instead. After all, taking care of CEARN is not my job, and it decreases the amount of time I have to make bad publicity about LISTEARN.
