As Listserv postmaster at Temple, I use LSVPUT on an IBM VM/CMS system all the time and rarely have any problems. An owner of a private list here uses LSVPUT frequently to put files on his own list and he has yet to have a problem. There are several ways of messing things up that are difficult to track down. Perhaps you are just not very familar with the process involved with using LSVPUT. I have some files with information on this topic that may be helpful to you. Try sending an INDEX HELP-NET command to [log in to unmask] This will give you a list of lots of files. They were all put there by me with LSVPUT. One or two of these files will be of particular interest to anyone using LSVPUT. I hope this helps you.
