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).
