Probably because you used the FILELIST command and did SAVE, or something like that. FILELIST happily overwrote the file without asking for confirmation or printing any warning message. The best is to restore the file from backup. >What can be done to prevent this problem in the future? Use a decent, well-behaved interactive directory display program like FLIST, or make your own EXEC to always make a copy of LISTSERV FILELIST before you call FILELIST, in case you or one of its functions does a SAVE by mistake.
