[ comp.sources.unix note -- this is really 3.0.3, but this announcement text
has not been updated by the author. --vix ]
Newsgroups: comp.mail.misc
Subject: Announcement: TULP 3.0.1 (mailing list manager) for Unix
Summary: TULP is a listserv-like application running on Unix stations
The Unix Listserv Program - TULP
Version 3.0.1 - November 1992
TULP is a mailing-lists manager. It implements a subset of the commands of
the well known LISTSERV, used mainly in the Bitnet world. It can also be
used, in a very limited manner, as a mail-server for text archives.
This version brings many improvements to the 2.00 released last June (see
below).
TULP allows an easy management of mailing-lists. Once their are created by
the TULP-manager, users can subscribe, signoff, get the list of
subscribers, or retrieve past articles by sending mail to an automatic
sofware, typically listserv@node.dom.ain. The implemented commands are
really close to the syntax used on Bitnet-Listserv running on IBM
mainframes. Note that there is *no* connection between the original
listserv running on IBM mainframes and TULP.
Each list can have several attributes:
+ Multiple list status: public, private, moderated.
+ List of owners an an editor.
+ Mutliple "review" status: public, private, owners.
+ Multiple subscription schemes: public, owners, closed.
+ Messages numbering (optional).
+ Messages archival (on a monthly basis, optional).
TULP is interfaced with the Sendmail MTA in the released version but it
should also be easily adaptable to other mail transport agents.
TULP has successfully been tested and is currently already in production
under following systems:
AIX 3.1 & 3.2
A/UX 3
HP-UX 8.0
SunOS 4.1
SVR4 3.0
TULP is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
The package is available by anonymous ftp at several places. If you
decide to put the package and its updates available by anonymous ftp,
please drop me a note so that I can add your site name to the documentation.

If you don't have anonymous ftp access you can retrieve the package through
e-mail by sending the following command to <listserv@grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr>:
GET TULP tulp-3.0.1.uue
An uuencoded file will be sent to you. Note that the command must be in
the body of your message, not in the subject.
If you wish to be informed of releases of new versions or patches you may
subscribe to the "tulp-dist" mailing list. To do so, send a mail
to <listserv@grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr> with a command like:
sub tulp-dist Firstname Lastname
The command must not be in the subject of the mail but in the body of the
message. This list will only be informed of new released, discussion about
about TULP goes to the list described below.
A discussion list for TULP and listservs for Unix in general also exists.
The list name is <listnix@grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr>. If you wish to join,
commands must be sent to listserv@grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr:
Example:
SUB listnix Chris Wolfhugel
Any questions/comments are welcome by mail or to the list.
Modifications since release 2.00: mainly a design change in how the mail
is delivered and handled as well as some bugfixes and cleanup work.
