I am in the process of moving (migrating) my list -- SHAKSPER -- from the University of Toronto to my home institution, Bowie State Universtiy. We've set-up the LISTSERV software and have it running. We've FTPed the files from UofT to Bowie State. However, we are having problems migrating the list. We need to know a few things: 1) When we FTped the files we used the binary mode and the files are inaccessible using a text editor -- We are moving from VM to UNIX so there may not be a problem. 2) We cannot seem to create the LIST file. We edited an ASCII version and tried PUTting it -- no luck. We then edited it put it the same directory as the LISTSERV.LOG; turned off and restarted -- as in the "VM lists can be migrated to unix with a much simple procedure." Again, no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Hardy M. Cook Editor/Owner of SHAKSPER
