- Listserv v2.92 (Beta 5, 32-bit) (06/21/96) - by Pete Nelson
- Terminal One BBS (510) 689-9528
- Author: pete@terminal-one.com
-
-
- NOTE: This product is in Beta Testing! I make no claims to the
- accuracy, stability and consistency of this program so far! Use
- at your own risk!
-
- (It should work pretty good though. <G>)
-
-
-
- * Basic Setup *
-
- Included is LISTSERV.DOC, the current documentation for the WC4
- version of Listserv. Most things should be exactly the same between
- the two versions. The only major difference is the Edit Message or
- Subject function while running Moderate in Listutil. In WC4, when
- you did a message edit, it would save the changes back to the
- original message. In WC5, the original message gets deleted and the
- changes get added as a new message. This is entirely a function of
- WC5 and not Listutil.
-
- As of right now, I have not put together a 4.x to 5.x conversion
- utility. To add your mailing lists into the new version, you need
- to do that by hand. However, you can export your lists from the
- 4.x version and import them into the 5.x version.
-
- When setting Listserv/Listutil up as a menu option, you must pass the
- path and file name for LISTSERV.CFG to the program otherwise it won't
- read it correctly. Also, be sure the path to your Listserv data files
- is a full drive:\path\ statement. Wildcat 5 seems fussy about the
- the way it handles directories.
-
- Please please please report any bugs you find ASAP so I can work on
- getting them squished promptly. Also, sign up for the following
- mailing lists:
-
- List Name Description
- ------------ --------------------------------------------------
- LISTSERV-L Discussion about Listserv in general
- LIST32-L Discussion about Listserv/32 for Wildcat v5
- LIST32-DIST For distribution of new versions of Listserv/32
-
-
- E-mail listserv@terminal-one.com and put...
-
- subscribe listname
-
- ...in the message body. (You knew that! <G>)
-
-
- Oh yeah! I had the darndest time trying to figure out how to get
- my wcCODE apps to show up as a command in wcMENU. Put the compiled
- WCX file in the main WC5 directory and they should show up on your
- pull-down menu!
-
-
- * Notes about this beta version *
-
- Listserv is now available for Wildcat 5! <cheers! applause!>
-
- For the most part, Listserv should operate as it always has. Please
- let me know of any operational bugs you find in it. The biggest
- problems I had in doing the conversion of Listserv was the way it
- walks through the message database to check each message, so that's
- what you should watch the closest.
-
- - The List/Search Subscriber and View Mailing Lists functions
- do not pause the screen.
-
-
- I believe that covers all not working by *design* for right now.
