The MX V2.3-1 update kit is now available for anonymous FTP on vms.ecs.rpi.edu and vms2.ecs.rpi.edu in directory [ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023], files MXU1023.A_Z and MXU1023.B_Z. The source code for the updated version is in file MXU1023_SRC.BCK_Z in the same directory. Sites running the SMTP support should also obtain the latest version of NETLIB, in directory [ANONYMOUS.NETLIB] on those systems. The updated NETLIB should be installed before installing the MX V2.3-1 update, although no harm will be caused if you do not. V2.3-1 includes the following major new features: - direct support for Jnet V3.5. Jnet V3.4 continues to be supported, but if you have V3.5, the MX-Jnet interface will use the newly added callable Jnet interface (aka the Jnet API). - local mail delivery now handled using callable MAIL instead of a spawned subprocess The update also includes all of the fixes introduced as patches since MX V2.3 was released, and several other bug fixes. The release notes in the A save set list all of the new features and bug fixes in the update. -Matt -- Matthew Madison, Systems Programmer | Internet: madison@vms.ecs.rpi.edu Engineering Computing Services | BITNET: MADISON@RPIECSVX Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute | Troy, New York 12180-3590 USA | -- MSEN Archive Service file verification vms.ecs.rpi.edu ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]00README.TXT;2 8/9 1-MAY-1991 11:50 ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]01README.ABOUT_DOCS;3 2/3 1-MAY-1991 11:48 ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]01README.JNET_CONFIG_NOTE;2 2/3 22-JUN-1991 11:01 ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]01README.MXU1023;1 1/3 20-JUN-1991 12:56 ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]01README.UCX_CONFIG_NOTE;2 4/6 24-MAY-1991 08:49 ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]MX023.A_Z;1 214/216 1-MAY-1991 10:30 ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]MX023.B_Z;1 210/210 1-MAY-1991 10:31 ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]MX023.C_Z;1 562/564 1-MAY-1991 10:31 ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]MX023.D_Z;2 124/126 1-MAY-1991 15:59 ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]MX023.E_Z;1 105/105 1-MAY-1991 10:31 ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]MX023.F_Z;1 53/54 1-MAY-1991 10:31 ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]MX023.G_Z;1 158/159 1-MAY-1991 10:32 ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]MX023.H_Z;1 1623/1623 1-MAY-1991 10:33 ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]MXU1023.A_Z;1 62/63 20-JUN-1991 12:44 ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]MXU1023.B_Z;1 527/528 20-JUN-1991 12:44 ECS_SYS6:[ANONYMOUS.MX.MX023]MXU1023_SRC.BCK_Z;1 1595/1596 20-JUN-1991 12:47 found vms-mx-mail ok vms.ecs.rpi.edu:[anonymous.mx.mx023]
