I am not subscribed to this list so please, if you are able to help, reply to me directly. I have a problem with the listserv file of filetype "FILEID" which corresponds to a filelist where we keep things for people to easily retrieve. Because we want people to be able to retrieve using FTP as well as listserv, we must have the files stored under their correct names not renamed as listserv likes to do when it maintains the fileid. In the past I have edited the FILEID by hand and then stored the files. This is quite horrendous but at least it worked. Recently, however, I played the same trick and somehow the fileid file keeps getting changed back. The other thing which was changed was that some of the files are stored packed, using the /p/ feature of the filelist. I don't seem to have any reasonable documentation which tells me what I am really supposed to do to make this work. It was years ago that I set this list up and I now use CMS only rarely. Our listserv postmaster doesn't really know anything about file server aspects. I would appreciate any help and, especially, any written documentation about how to maintain this file.
