I was hoping there would be some useful discussion of this... I am once again trying to figure out how the file archiving works, and the documentation is quite difficult to follow. As someone posted yesterday, it's based on VM, with occasional comments that this or that isn't available under "the temporary system" etc. It's nearly impossible to figure out from what's written exactly HOW one is supposed to do this. So here's my basic question. With much effort, I figured out the syntax to put a file in the site.catalog and be able to put it and get it. That's a start. But we need to move hundreds of files from LISTPROC to LISTSERV and we need to be able to group them, and do indexes. I can't figure out how to get any files to show up in *any* indexes, let alone group them by associated list, or by a particular topic. There are files called filelists but I cannot figure out how they work. If I create one under the /home/listserv/home directory, and try to do an "index xxxx" via mail, I get back a message saying that I am not authorized to access xxxx.filelist. If I try to create a filelist via an email "put", I get a message that I can't update it because it's controlled internally by LISTSERV. We need to be able to set up different archives, groups, libraries, or whatever you'd like to call them, and then be able to query the available lists via the index command. How do I do this????? Any help would be most appreciated! =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= = Laura Toms * UNIX Systems Administrator and Postmaster * (614) 761-5016 = = Online Computer Library Center, Dublin, Ohio * [log in to unmask] = =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
