I recommend file LISTSERV TIPS and filelist LSVOWNER The first is by Lisa Covi formerly of the BITNIC (CREN) and can be found on LISTSERV@BITNIC and @UBVM, and the last by Jim Gerland of U of Buffalo (LISTSERV@UBVM) Other "helps" include frequent discussion on LSTOWN-L, and sometimes LSTSRV-L (and even HELP-NET if the archives have been "refreshed"). LDBASE-L will assist with DATABASE Search questions. I'm sure you'll want to check out the various files on NETINFO (LISTSERV@BITNIC). /Pete ([log in to unmask]) -- co-owner INFOSYS, TQM-L, LDBASE-L, et -L -- Peter M.
