Ken:
There are two ways to subscribe/unsubscribe from any list hosted by
Yahoo and others of that kind. First is as you suggested, go to he website,
join Yahoo and then choose the list. However if you send an empty email
message to  you bypass Yahoo registration and
join the list directly. Check the unsubscribe instructions at the end of
this message.

As for "nobody forces you", true to a certain degree. [I joined this list
more to support the freeware idea. During the last year or so I have
actually used XXCOPY once or may be twice. I dont do that much of copying
of directories & drives. I transfer the odd file via sneakernet. These days
the bulk of th files are getting to be too big for floppy anyway]. Now if I
wanted to keep uptodate and download new version I have to join Yahoo.com or
ask someone on the list to send it to me. I don't feel justified asking
someone elase to get it for me when I have cable access and plenty of time.

I do believe that the list owner can set it up so, that the files are
accessible to general public.

Harsha Godavari
