16E-004O  fixes two  problems, the  first of  which should  be considered
HIPER by sites heavily relying on AFD:
 
1. AFD subscriptions  initiated under release 1.6e  are sometimes ignored
   at AFD  time. That  is, some  users might  not receive  a copy  of the
   updated files they are AFD'ed  to. FUI subscriptions are not affected,
   nor are  AFD subscriptions  containing a  'prolog-text' or  made under
   release 1.6d or earlier.
 
2. When 16E-001O was made available,  some of you might have received AFD
   notification that  file V16E FIXLIST  had been deleted, followed  by a
   distribution of  the actual file.  16E-004O fixes this  problem, which
   happens with all releases  of LISTSERV when the file is  a member of a
   generic fileid with immediate AFD, did not exist before the PUT, has a
   FAVE associated to it and was stored under a CMS fileid different from
   the one defined in the FILEID file.
 
You are  strongly advised to apply  this fix if you  are making extensive
use of AFD.
