Well, this will teach me not to go off to Share without a trained backup. In any case, I apologize for problems which sites (and individuals) may have experienced because of some problems at UCCVMA. The cause was somewhat instructive, so I will mention it here. We went to LPAR mode from physically partitioned mode on our 380J. A side effect of this was that our SYSTEM NETID file became invalid because LPAR renumbers the CPU id. As a result, RSCS no longer was trusted and about a zillion mail files were transferred into my reader along with lots (and I mean *lots* of mailed messages). People at my site had other things to worry about and didn't notice that the Listserv/RSCS connection was fried. I think that things are back to normal now. The backlog of files from other sites are cleared, too. I will respond personally to those who sent me notes which were unanswered (because I was out all week). If anyone thinks we are still screwed up here or just wants to comment on this fiasco, here's where you can write.
