Listserv/32 (Project Huckleberry) Beta 4 (04/18/96) - by Pete Nelson

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.



* Revision History *

Note:  Some changes here will be to Listserv in general, and some
       will only be for the the WC5 version.  Change will be noted
       as (Listserv) or (L32).
