I hope this reaches Jaye at least via news or mush-users, because I've
never managed to get mail through to cs.montana.edu when I tried to
reply personally to his inquiries about Z-Mail.

Z-Mail 2.1 relieves even this gripe, by providing a network license
server option.  With the network server, you can install Z-Mail anywhere
you like -- just tell the server where to look for the license file.
It requires no special permissions to run the server daemon (though it's
nice to make entries for it in /etc/services and inetd.conf, it's not
required).  Further, with the network server, you can buy a one-user
license for Z-Mail and use it from any machine on the network.

Send mail to info@z-code.com for pricing and other details.
