Press Release on Excelsior! Pro BBS software
-------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOLLOWS!!!
AmiCom! (Amiga Communications!) has purchased Excelsior! Professional
BBS software from Sycom.
This purchase relinquishes all connections of Excelsior! development
and support from Tom Dietz.
Amicom! is from this day forward the Sole company connected with the
advancement, sales, and support of Excelsior! Professional BBS software.
AmiCom! has a Dedicated team of Programmers and Supporters to assist
Sysops with problems and move Excelsior! BBS Further into the Furture
with new features and fresh Ideas.
At this time, We have the Following plans for Excelsior!
Excelsior! 2.0 :
- Examine and decipher the 2.0 Code.
- Put out Beta's to our Beta Team.
- Fix any Remaining Bugs.
- Print out Manuals.
(These will be all new manuals. Completly re-writen in a
new package design.)
- RELEASE!!! (Current target date is December)
- A demo version of 2.0 will be available.
Excelsior! 1.x :
There will be a 1.21k release. This will consist mainly of bug
fixes. It will be a free update to all registered sysop's.
After that release all NEW development will be focused on 2.0.
We will however continue to support 1.21 in bug fixes only.
We are hopeing to do this as soon as physicaly possible. We must look
through what Tom has done, and find the few remaining bugs he had
noticed. At this time, We will put out a Beta for testing.
Unlike Tom Dietz, We are NOT releasing 2.0 as a PUBLIC Beta! We see this
as More of a Problem than it is worth. A Public Beta would only make
some sysops Mad when they come across Major bugs, and we would be
Overflowed by Netmails concerning more problems. So as a Result, our
decision is to have a Select group as a "Beta-Team". These people will
be choosen by us, and will be the Key group in the Final release. The
Faster they can pinpoint the problems, The faster we can get Excelsior!
2.0 out to you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pre-Orders:
At this time, We are accepting Pre-Orders. Those who Pre-Order now will
receive their Excelsior! 2.0 package when the Beta tests are compleat,
BEFORE it is released to the general public.
We are hoping for Final release by December. if all goes right with our
efforts, We will be releasing it publicly at that time.
