If you really have to do it with NT or even WIN95, there is a
program called SVLIST which runs on these. If you only have one or
two lists, its very useful -- but since you need a separate
directory,and a separate running process for each list, it can be
awkward. You can get a temporary 2 wk unlock key from the author, and
if you like it, its only $30 or $50 , I don't know if the discount
period is over. I use it to run 2 small lists at my college since MIS
canned my linux/majordomo unit for a NT. I said to #@$!! and run this
now on a spare win95 machine in my lab on the LAN. If you need an
address, I can send one when I go to work tomorrow or you might find it
from a search engine on the web.
