I'm sure that by now someone has privately answered Mr. Gerlach's questions about his filelist problems, so nothing on that. But here is a reminder for new list owners working via e-mail from UNIX. If I get anything wrong, speak up! If you want to get rid of something from your filelist you first have to PUT a blank file of the same filename filetype before you can PUT the filelist again sans the file in question. The rub is that some mail editors (like Pico in Pine) will not let you do that (at least I've never found a way). There is always at least one extra CR, which LISTSERV reads as the replacement file. The file in the index will indicate 0 nrecs, but that CR is still there. So, when you try to replace the filelist, after removing the reference to the file in question, you are told the file isn't empty so your filelist PUT is rejected. Use a mail system that uses the vi editor, or something similar (I use Elm). Use "insert" and create a message that is nothing but the PUT filename filetype blah blah message (don't hit the return key at the end of the line). Send it in and you should have a totally blank file that will be deleted when you PUT your modified filelist. Douglas Winship Austin, Texas [log in to unmask] Secondary AUTOCAT Listowner
