I used try and deal with the LISTERV.@BROWNVM server, but there is a
little snag with that beast. It likes to send directory listings and
other things in "lpunch" format, which is a bizaare encryption not
unlike Postscript source code to handle output that is more than 80
columns long. 

In the info file on lpunch, there are two programs written in C and
Pascal to perform the necessary translation. Neither of them have
worked on my local Unix or VMS systems, and both have disclaimers of
not being supported.

Anyone have any luck with these or develop a working routine before I
try again to debug this stuff?
