Hmmm...and I continue to be amazed at how many times I can put my foot in my mouth :-). Sorry, Eric, if I've missed your (many?) announcements that UNIX now has this capability. I was told not long ago by someone whom I thought very knowledgeable on this topic that UNIX did *not* have this. Are you saying that I can send a message to the UNIX Listserv software that asks for messages about topic A sent between such and such dates by Jane Doe? (Or, rather, that I can receive an ANSWER to such a message :-) ) Joan Korenman ***************************************************************************** * Joan Korenman [log in to unmask] * * U. of Md.
