I know that Listserv [tm] by Eric Thomas only runs on IBM mainframes. Can anyone tell me how to do something similar on a VAX/VMS system using VAX/VMS software? Failing that, can anyone tell me how to find a Listserv [tm] host that would be willing to help me set up a small, private list devoted to minority politics? Please respond by email and please forgive me the bandwidth if I have not found the perfect forum for these questions. I have already read Kovacs article on setting up a Listserv and am still a bit confused. A little further direction would be appreciated. Subject: Listserv-style software on VMS Dear Steve, I am hoping you can help me find some information I am looking for. I'm trying to find out how I can run a Listserv-style list on a VAX/VMS system. I got your name and email address by doing an archive search of INFO-VAX on listserv@irlearn using ldbase.com. It was an interesting conversation you had earlier this year with Eric Thomas, the obnoxious genius who wrote Listserv [tm]. Still, I don't know how to do what I want to do, which is to start my own email list on the VAX at the University of Alaska. I know that Listserv [tm] is available only on IBM mainframes. What I don't know is how to find a Listserv [tm] host that will let me run a list on their system or how to set up the equivalent on my home system. Do I need to learn more about PMDF or MX? What? Since you were asking some of the same questions earlier this year, I thought you may have found some of the answers.
