L-SOFT RELEASES LISTSERV(TM) FOR WINDOWS 95(TM) AS SHAREWARE
August 24th, 1995
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Washington, DC) Windows(TM) users can now start their own electronic
mailing lists with the shareware version of L-Soft international's
LISTSERV(TM) for Windows 95(TM). This new version allows Windows 95(TM)
users with TCP/IP to create their own LISTSERV(TM) lists at shareware
prices. Some Internet service providers charge as much as $50.00 per
month for mailing lists managed with less powerful software.
Not a "light" port, all of the functions found in the workstation
versions of LISTSERV(TM) - including the now-famous "anti-spam" feature -
are available. In fact, this is the software that L-Soft uses to run
WIN95-L, a forum about Windows 95(TM) with an average of 190,000 messages
delivered daily. L-Soft is also hosting a list for users of the shareware
version of LISTSERV(TM), LISTSERV95-L.
LISTSERV(TM) has been around since 1986 and manages over 19,000 lists,
with topics ranging from camels (yes, the animals) to the David Letterman
TOPTEN list (with over 82,000 subscribers). Although LISTSERV(TM) can be
used to create electronic versions of traditional mailing lists, most
lists are configured to allow the subscribers to "talk" to each other,
forming Internet communities that bring together people with similar
interests, without the geographical limitations of traditional media.
Until recently, such lists could only be created by a technical elite who
had access to mainframes and workstations. The Windows 95(TM) shareware
version of LISTSERV(TM) makes it possible for anyone to establish virtual
communities on the Internet.
----------------------
For more information about LISTSERV(TM) for Windows 95(TM), consult our
web site at http://www.lsoft.com/win95-head.html or write to
SALES@LSOFT.COM. The software can be downloaded from FTP.LSOFT.COM.
