First, just to be clear since "IBM-MAIN's archive" is somewhat imprecise: (a) There is IBM-MAIN, to which you posted, and which has an archive on the web here: https://listserv.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=IBM-MAIN It contains information from January 2005 through now. (b) There is IBM-MAIN-ARCHIVES, located on the web here: https://listserv.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=IBM-MAIN-ARCHIVES It contains information from 1986 through 2004. So, since you're finding information from 2007, I'll assume you're in the right archive, (a). How are you searching? Via the web, e.g., from the Search box or Search link on the right-hand navigation here: https://listserv.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A1=ind1801&L=IBM-MAIN Or by sending commands to the listserv server address? Via the web, from what I can see, you will be presented with the 100 oldest entries that match your search term. You can advance to 100 newer entries that match by selecting More Hits at the bottom of the list. And you can keep advancing forward, 100 entries at a time, by continuing to select More Hits. I haven't tried the command-based method recently, so I can't comment on how that works. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
