We are in need of some decent conference software. We want to manage discussions on various topics (not in real time) over a network of Suns. Presently we use notes, but it doesn't function very well in an NFS environment. The temporary solution was to use "on -i" to invoke notes on the same machines as the notesfiles were stored. However, "on -i" is known (by Sun) to be unreliable and all to frequently hangs the session. I'm looking for any ideas, suggestions, or experiences both good and bad. We are interested both in public domain and commercial software. Thanks. -- Scott Hammond scott@sctc.com (612) 482-7449

Does anybody know of public domain Unix software for supporting a conference organisation, i.e. a database for mailing addresses, registration information, accounts, lecture titles and abstracts, nametags, recording hotel reservations etc etc? -- "Give me a leg to stand on amd I will sue the world." adrianb@cwi.nl tel: +31 20 592 4050 (general: 592 9333) (fax: 592 4199) Adrian Baddeley, Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science, Kruislaan 413, 1098 SJ Amsterdam, Netherlands.
