- Press Release on Excelsior! Pro BBS software
- -------------------------------------------
-
- IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOLLOWS!!!
-
- AmiCom! (Amiga Communications!) has purchased Excelsior! Professional
- BBS software from Sycom.
-
- This purchase relinquishes all connections of Excelsior! development
- and support from Tom Dietz.
-
- Amicom! is from this day forward the Sole company connected with the
- advancement, sales, and support of Excelsior! Professional BBS software.
-
- AmiCom! has a Dedicated team of Programmers and Supporters to assist
- Sysops with problems and move Excelsior! BBS Further into the Furture
- with new features and fresh Ideas.
-
- At this time, We have the Following plans for Excelsior!
-
- Excelsior! 2.0 :
-
- - Examine and decipher the 2.0 Code.
- - Put out Beta's to our Beta Team.
- - Fix any Remaining Bugs.
- - Print out Manuals.
- (These will be all new manuals. Completly re-writen in a
- new package design.)
- - RELEASE!!! (Current target date is December)
- - A demo version of 2.0 will be available.
-
- Excelsior! 1.x :
-
- There will be a 1.21k release. This will consist mainly of bug
- fixes. It will be a free update to all registered sysop's.
-
- After that release all NEW development will be focused on 2.0.
- We will however continue to support 1.21 in bug fixes only.
-
- We are hopeing to do this as soon as physicaly possible. We must look
- through what Tom has done, and find the few remaining bugs he had
- noticed. At this time, We will put out a Beta for testing.
-
- Unlike Tom Dietz, We are NOT releasing 2.0 as a PUBLIC Beta! We see this
- as More of a Problem than it is worth. A Public Beta would only make
- some sysops Mad when they come across Major bugs, and we would be
- Overflowed by Netmails concerning more problems. So as a Result, our
- decision is to have a Select group as a "Beta-Team". These people will
- be choosen by us, and will be the Key group in the Final release. The
- Faster they can pinpoint the problems, The faster we can get Excelsior!
- 2.0 out to you.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Pre-Orders:
-
- At this time, We are accepting Pre-Orders. Those who Pre-Order now will
- receive their Excelsior! 2.0 package when the Beta tests are compleat,
- BEFORE it is released to the general public.
-
- We are hoping for Final release by December. if all goes right with our
- efforts, We will be releasing it publicly at that time.
