Let's see. Does anyone recollect how many years LISTSERV has been
provided gratis? I, as list owner, and the Music Library
Association have been using it gratis for six years at least.
Obviously, I do not understand the style of L-Soft. But I do
understand the significance of LISTSERV.
 
Is there any chance that CREN could explain its goals for software
acquisition during the previous decade and how that might relate
to the current discussion? How many CREN dollars were invested
in LISTSERV development and implementation?
