[mod.computers.vax] BULLETIN program available.

info-vax@ucbvax.UUCP (01/30/86)

A superb bulletin program is available from YORK U. The bulletin
program was designed by Dr. Peter Roosen Runge of York University,
Dept. of Computer Science. It has an SMG interface, a bulletin selection
mechanism, file and print options etc., A seperate bulletin management 
program for such things as
bulletin deletion, expiry, replacement, insertion etc. It uses bulletin
libraries by means of a librarian interface, and is capable of handling
several libraries simultaneously. It has been at York U. for over a year,
and it currently runs under every VMS machine in this campus. So far,
we have heard nothing but good things about it. 

Bulletin is written in C, and comes complete with installation instructions,
help files, mms files to rebuild the system, and of course, sources.

How to get it:	I prefer to distribute bulletin through BITNET, rather than
USENET. It is large enough to make usenet site manager very unhappy. Thus,
if you want to have it, send me your (or a friendly naigboor site's) bitnet
address, and I will send you a DECUS C style archieve. (-h- filename ...)

The bulletin program is Copyrighted by York University, but may be used and
distributed freely. In fact, I expect you to distribute to other VMS sites
who are interested, so that I do not get burned crisp by other bitnet sites
along the distribution route.

Is there a way to put this up on ARPA?  I'd like to get a copy.

This program will soon be available on HARVARD for access via anonymous FTP.
I am installing it now, and will post a review as well.

Please mail a copy of BULLITEN to my BITNET address.  I will
distribute it among about 40 VMS boxes in and around the
University of Rochester.

Can you tell me / ask the original poster / etc .. whether and where this
software has reached the United Kingdom ? A colleague is very interested in
finding a *real* bulletin system to run under VMS 4.2+

Thanks in advance,

I would appreciate receiving the BULLETIN program. If you
can't get it to me via my address, I could follow up on that.
