The official VM procedure (GET + PUT) works under other systems as well. You can also delete/edit the file, then delete the DBINDEX file, and it will work to the same extent as it did on VM (and is equally unsupported). This messes with the web archive interface, so you then need to do the equivalent of deleting the DBINDEX: remove all the INDxxx files in the web archive subdirectory for the list, then restart LISTSERV.
