IUBVM runs the base level of 1.8a (with the FIX18AT update) whereas UBVM
is running what will become 1.8b when we decide it's time to release it.
The "From:" field was changed in March when LISTSERV-TCP/IP was released,
as "BITNET List Server" was obviously unsuitable :-) I decided to have
"L-Soft" for the NJE version as well, both to avoid confusing users ("Is
the L-Soft LISTSERV not the same as the BITNET LISTSERV?") and because
there are still many users who don't know that LISTSERV is made by
L-Soft. Finally, now that it looks like BITNET will die within the year,
the last we want is for people to assume that LISTSERV will die with
BITNET and they should migrate to Majordomo urgently :-)
