Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.
Thank you Jim and Philip for your replies.

I looked at man cpio, but I could not get it work. I tried: cd ~/Desktop cpio -o -z < man_viewer.app > man_viewer but I got: cpio: Invalid file name arguement cpio: Unable to access ???? <Invalid argument> cpio: Unable to access J9J <No such file or directory> cpio: WARNING! These file names were not selected: ???? J9J Anyway, thank you very much! Best regards, Nobumi Iyanaga Tokyo, Japan
