L-Soft International, Inc. is pleased to announce:

* General availability of LISTSERV for unix(R).

  After a successful  beta-test programme covering 8  different brands of
  unix(R) systems, LISTSERV  for unix(R) has begun  shipping. The systems
  initially supported are AIX(R), SunOS  (sun4), BSDi and Ultrix(TM). The
  software has  already been ported  to Solaris and OSF/1(R),  and formal
  support for both  systems will be available as soon  as certain written
  agreements with our service providers are finalized.

* Free evaluation copies of LISTSERV for unix(R).

  Available for  AIX(R), SunOS,  Solaris, BSDi, Ultrix(TM),  OSF/1(R) and
  Irix(TM), the  evaluation kits contain  everything you need  to install
  LISTSERV on  your system in about  15 minutes -  even if you are  not a
  unix(R) expert. Migrating  a test list from  a VM system is  as easy as
  doing an FTP transfer, replacing a VM minidisk address with a directory
  path,  and restarting  the server.  Even archive  files, administrative
  message templates and welcome/farewell messages  can be migrated with a
  simple FTP transfer. Ease  of installation, migration and configuration
  is but one of the strong points  of LISTSERV. With over 90,000 lines of
  code, LISTSERV for unix(R)  comes with scalable, efficient, time-tested
  algorithms  and the  richest,  most comprehensive  feature  set in  the
  market. LISTSERV  dates back to 1986,  and quickly became the  de facto
  standard  for mailing  lists. It  delivers 5-6  million messages  on an
  average weekday (worldwide),  with a total membership in  excess of 1.4
  million.

  The evaluation kits include a fully functional copy of LISTSERV, with a
  2pt gradated license  (that is, a two-list limit),  an expiration date,
  and  a  number   of  visible  disclaimers.  The  kits   can  be  freely
  redistributed, as long as they are not  altered in any way, and will be
  made available via anonymous FTP.  Contact SALES@LSOFT.COM for an up to
  date list of FTP sites, or subscribe to the LSTSRV-E list to share your
  experience and concerns with others.

Owing to a  hardware problem beyond our control, the  evaluation kits for
the VMS(TM) version of LISTSERV will not be available until next week. We
regret the inconvenience.

For   more   information   about    today's   announcements,   write   to
SALES@LSOFT.COM. We suggest that public discussions take place on the new
LSTSRV-E list (evaluation kit users' list).
