Top Document: Mailing list management software FAQ Previous Document: 3.03 IDG Next Document: 3.05 CREN ListProc [v. 7.1] See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Source code is at <ftp://cs-ftp.bu.edu/pub/listserv/current_version.Z> This is the final no-charge version of ListProc. It will not be enhanced except for bug fixes. Read the section above on "Do you need to modify the MLM's source code?" for notes on restrictions associated with this package. Some background relating to ListProc's name: you may see references to this product as "Unix Listserv." Be careful, and try to clarify if the "listserv" in question is the Eric Thomas/"BITNET" version, or really ListProc. When Anastasios Kotsikonas ("Tasos") first wrote ListProc at Boston U., it was called "Unix LISTSERV," and it included a note in the documentation that some read to mean it was related to the Eric Thomas software. This made Eric mad, and he complained for years that these "Unix Listserv" users thought he sanctioned the software or that it was a port of his VM/CMS LISTSERV. When he formed L-Soft and took LISTSERV commercial, lost sales became part of the issue. The situation finally escalated to the point where, voila! ListProc was born :-). ListProc versions below 6.0c *were* called "Unix LISTSERV" or "Unix Listserver," but they're still ListProc, and you should call them ListProc. It's less confusing that way. To discuss ListProc 6.0c, subscribe to unix-listproc@avs.com by writing "sub unix-listproc Your Name" in the body of a message to listproc@avs.com. This is also ListProc 6.0c's technical-support list; most support is provided by users, although Tasos also reads the list regularly and sometimes comments.
