Susan: The subscribers to LSTOWN-L can do nothing about your requests (unless there are some entrepreneurial developers willing to go head-to-head with L-Soft (and they have quite a head ;-) start). I'm quite sure that L-Soft has heard you. We've recently heard that they are beta testing a SEARCH feature. As you know, SEARCH is in the LISTSERV classic (VM/CMS) version and does not represent something entirely new, but a port of something that has an on-going usage. As far as a list of new requirements for pervasive implementation, maybe a vote could be taken by L-Soft of their paying customers, and then based upon their best judgement and market conditions, they would enhance the product. If they don't react to the market, the market will react to them (as usual). Or putting a slightly different spin on it, just because customer X wants a feature and repeatedly asks for it, does not mean that the features that customer Q wants are any less important, just because they only asked for it once. Just by .02 non-denominational monetary units. -- co-owner: INFOSYS, TQM-L, CPARK-L, ERAPPA-L, JANITORS, LDBASE-L, et -L URL:mailto:[log in to unmask] "BEEP if you luv LDBASE"
