VM/CMS LISTSERV(R) has the following distribution abilities: email lists (which we all know and love) digests of email lists DISTRIBUTE jobs (not list dependent and does not account for subscribers who are NOMAIL) GIVE a file Subscription (AFD/FUI) to a FILE (package) -- either the file itself, or notification that the file has changed; ditto for file packages Non VM/CMS, esp. 1.8d beta, do not have the last two, and probably default restrict the third. YMMV
