We are in the process of installing a late beta release of Listserv/NT
which does indeed have the database search facility ported.  Previously
this was available *only* on the IBM VM/ESA platform (for years) and has
remained a "missing link" in the ports to Unix/NT/VMS/Windows95.  Give
us some time to insure the "update" is as painless as the "move" :-)
