Daniel - perhaps this will help you determine who's concealed or not. Assumptions: you are on a VM system, have appropriate link permissions to Listserv minidisks. What I do is link to LISTSERV's 2 permanent minidisks from my personal userid. That way I can see most of the files and reference them as necessary.(*) For this example, assume I've accessed the Listserv 191 as filemode L. I have a file called LISTSERV COLUMNS on my A minidisk. Xedit LISTNAME LIST L set screen 2 Xedit LISTSERV COLUMNS A This opens 2 files and gives me a view into both simultaneously. Contents of LISTSERV COLUMNS Column 81 A= ACK a= NOACK M= MSGACK Column 82 M= MAIL m= NOMAIL Column 83 F= FILES f= NOFILES Column 84 blank= NOREPRO R= REPRO Column 85 null = SHOTHDR F= FULLHDR S= FULLBSMTP s= SHORTBSMPT I= IETFHDR Col. 86-87 yy= subscription or deletion year Col. 88-90 ddd= julian subscription day or deletion day. Col. 91 null= normal D= deletion pending W= confirmation waived Col. 92 null= NOCONCEAL C= concealed (*) Caveat: Although you can see most of the files on Listserv's minidisk, updates are obviously done using TELL, LSVPUT. Yeah, I know, it's preaching to the choir. Happy Holidays. Mignon
