This second beta release of SinMail v1.0 includes the additions promised in
the interim between the previous beta version and this release.  These
features include:

  o Local net posts now show up locally.

  o User plan files / finger service has changed its method a little bit,
    and full documentation is included, as well as the necessary source code
    modifications.  SinMail allows your users to maintain their own plan files
    which users on the Internet can access through our unique finger method.

  o Name resolution now has three separate options:
      1. Explicit resolution
      2. Username-based resolution
      3. Accessed resolution

    All methods allow aliasing.  Username-based and Accessed resolution
    methods use WWIV data files to resolve the user names, allowing a much
    simpler method of giving users their own internet accounts.  Accessed
    resolution allows restricting access to users with the given ARs.


The commercial version of SinMail v1.0 Beta 2 is available and allows full
operation with configurable RESOLVE and NEWSRC files.  Sysops will be given
access to download SinMail v1.0B2 from The Ethereal Plane (609)435-5991, HQ
of Singe, and will receive the release of SinMail v1.0 on disk in the mail
upon its release.

For ordering information, please read ORDER.FRM.

It was not expected that SinMail would be released in Beta (incomplete) form,
but due to high demand, it was felt that an early pre-release would be the
best way to finally allow interested SysOps to connect their WWIV systems to
the Internet.  Next project: WWIV/Telnet Package.  The goal is to fully
integrate WWIV with the Internet -- at long last!
