A number of people have asked me recently about the status of the promised version 1.7 of the Elm Mail System...well...it's pretty much ready to ship out - I'm just waiting for some final authorization from management about it all and then I'll be able to send the 10 or so tapes that I currently have. If you are contemplating sending me a mag tape for it, however, DON'T. In fact, I'd like to hear from some people to find someone that would be willing to be the new 'owner' of the Elm sources - last time I posted a request of this nature no-one seemed that enthused about it, but this time it's a bit more imperative, y'all. Also, this newsgroup has been changed to be unmoderated, so you can directly post to it -- if you have any oustanding bug reports or whatever on version 1.5 please feel free to toss 'em here and I'll try my best to get them into the final 1.7 release. But, whatever happens, I *must* give up the code by the 15th of this month due to some other committments here at Hewlett-Packard, so at that point I shall simply toss the code onto tape, make a 'shar' of the sources available via FTP, and wash my hands of it all... Methinks we've been here before, though...Hmmmmm -- Dave Taylor Hewlett-Packard Labs
