The FORWARD package, like all other optional LISTSERV packages, uses
internal LISTSERV routines and is updated regularly along with LISTSERV.
It is not included in the LISTSERV update shipments since most people do
not run it and those who do usually want the ability to make local
changes to support local mail systems and the like, which would not be
possible if the EXEC's were automatically replaced with new versions.
This, however, does not mean that the 1988 version of the program will
work forever. As it stands, "old" versions of the package do not work
with release 1.7e (it would take too much testing time to find out what
is the exact minimum version to run under 1.7e). The 1.7d version of the
package, which is the one currently available from LISTSERV@SEARN, does
work without problem. There is an improved version for 1.7e (with better
performance) which will be made available within a week or two, when most
people have installed 1.7e. If you are not running the 1.7d version, you
may be affected and you should install the LSV$FORW EXEC from
LISTSERV@SEARN as soon as possible.
