- MINIHOST
- --------
-
- MINIHOST was written with simplicity in mind. It is simple to use, and
- easy to setup. It only requires 192K of memory, and is small enough to be
- run from a floppy disk. User entries are added and deleted using your
- favorite text editor. The message base is a text file system, and messages
- must be maintained using your editor as well. Any number of callers may
- call MINIHOST, but only 500 can be 'remembered' by the system.

- Registration fee: $25 hobby, $50 otherwise.
- Current release: 01/01/89j

- MAXIHOST
- --------
- MAXIHOST tries to maintain the text file message system, while providing
- a more robust optional message database system. Many new features, like
- event scheduling, etc, were added. Still simple to setup, it requires 384K
- of memory, and user entries are still added and deleted using your text
- editor. It is also limited to 500 'remembered' callers.
