I'm assuming from this that the basic structure of the LIST file will remain the name. Lines starting with a * in col 1 are comments/keywords and non-blank lines are of the format 'u@n Text of Name' with cols 81 and higher having special meaning. In that case, users of LSVMAINT will probably want a 1 line change, but I'll wait to see 1.7d before distributing it. /ahw
