I'm the LISTSERV postmaster for NDSUVM1. I'll look into the ROOTS-L index number shift. However, no notebooks have been manually edited lately (at least the I know of). There are two possible explanations besides a LISTSERV bug that I can think of: 1. We had a disk failure on Thursday afternoon (11/04/93 around 16:30 CST or 2230 GMT). I don't think LISTSERV had any minidisks on the disks that were affected but one was a page volume and could have caused LISTSERV to terminate at a bad time. 2. I did move the ROOTS-L minidisk to a different location (it was on the same volume as a very active minidisk so searches were probably being affected. But this was done on 11/02 and I had listserv offline at the time. The log files back to ROOTS-L LOG8712 seem to be there and in the index. I'll let the list know what I find if anything... Marty
