- *-*-*-* Silver Xpress Mail System *-*-*-*
- (c) copyright 1988-1995 by Santronics Software
-
- This document covers all changes and new features to all models of the
- Silver Xpress Mail System.
-
- Read the necessary parts for your BBS version. Any part which is not
- specifically labeled for a particular model should be considered a
- generic feature of Silver Xpress.
-
- Silver Xpress 5.00 was a major release. V5.04 is a maintenance
- release. There were many changes and enhancements in V5.00. V5.01/2
- fixes some mites, or enhances a few features. However, in V5.01/2 we
- introduced support for two more BBS systems, Wildcat! and RoboBoard/FX.
- V5.03 is another maintenance release with some new features and
- enhancements. V5.03 also introduces support for two more BBS versions,
- TAG 2.7 and Proboard 2.0, which now have JAM support! V5.04 fixes many
- bugs, adds new features and adds supports to new versions of BBSes.
-
- Overall, at the basic level, it is the same, powerful mail system which
- helped make bulletin board systems what they are today.
-
- Only the new features, or anything that is considered semi-important,
- will be mentioned.
