Just this past week, I flexed my Visa card and ordered an upgrade to the
ListServ software from L-Soft. This will bring us up to the most current
version, 1.8d. Here are the main reasons I bought the upgrade - supposedly,
all these problems will be fixed:

-The listserv process runs amuk 4-5 times a week and consumes all the RAM in
the system, which requires me to reboot the server. I have to keep a
constant eye on the system to catch it before you guys notice.

-The web-based archive searches barely work. When they do work, they are
slower than a diesel Westy running on 3 cylinders.

-The web auto-archiver puts the year 2000 posts at the bottom of the list.

-The re-direct function is not very consistent, so I end up forwarding
messages manually.

-The listserv software can't always read the incoming e-mail address.

I hope to install the software this weekend, either on Saturday or Sunday
night. The upgrade cost me a little over $500.00 USD, so I'm hoping I can
"pass the hat around" and get some help from you guys. We also have some
cash in the "List Donations" fund, so that may be accessible as well.

Thanks,
