(First, please excuse me if I refer to the UNIX-listserv software by
the incorrect name. I have seen the many discussions on it.)
We at the Library of Congress have just begun managing our own discussion
lists. I have been moderator of the USMARC-L list running out of the
University of Maine, using Eric Thomas' Listserv software. We moved
it here recently where it is using the Kotsikonas software. We have a
few questions which the documentation hasn't yet answered for us.

1. The "get" function, where one retrieves a file from the file
archives. It is currently running in batch mode, where it only
sends the file when it runs overnight, rather than immediately.
The other functions (set, help, etc.) are executed soon after
the person sends the message. How can the "get" be reset to work
like the others?

2. Someone wants to set up a private list, where the moderator
approves the subscribers before they're subscribed and the
name of the list doesn't appear when someone sends the command
"lists" to see which lists are at this host. How to do this?

We'd appreciate any answers to these.  Thanks.
