Assuming the owners are listed in the header and OWN can update a file in an associated filelist, can one of the owners from a another, non-VM site, just put PUT FILENAME FILETYPE as the first line to replace a file in the filelist? Somehow this seems too simple. Is there something else involved? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Elliott Parker Bitnet: 3ZLUFUR@CMUVM List Owner, SEASIA-L and CARR-L Internet: [log in to unmask] Department of Journalism Less certain possibilities: Central Michigan University [log in to unmask] Mt.
