InterMail 2.50 Released!

FURTHER DEVELOPMENT RELEASES INTERMAIL 2.50!

April 20, 1998
1:369/35

(Coconut Creek, Fla.) Further Development, Inc. (FDI), announced today the release of the long-awaited InterMail v2.50.

When asked why development of the new InterMail has taken so long, Peter Stewart, FDI President and author of the popular Fidonet-style, front-end mailer said, "We honestly thought it would only take a few weeks to complete... Still, we believe we beat out the "other guys" when compared to their estimates."

Michele Stewart, FDI COO and wife of the author, provided additional details regarding the company's latest release. "We just won't release a product we feel isn't stable or complete," she said. "A program released on time with major bugs left in is just not our style. We'd rather wait and provide our customers with a solid, reliable product." The new release also allows sysops to keep a demo on their systems which will run for 60 days from install without having to download a new time-limited demo every month or so as required in the past.

"As for our existing customers," she added, "we'd really like to thank them for their patience and loyalty. Such has gone a long way in keeping us working on the product despite opposition which would have had us rolling over and giving up long before this." All customers entitled to disks (i.e., those who paid for shipping in the past) will receive them shortly. FDI requests that 6-8 weeks be allowed for receipt since all addresses apparently have to be manually re-input after a hard drive crash last year wiped out their database.

Some of the new features include being able to sync your system clock to Caller-ID or to another mailer, user-defined semaphores, 80 aka's, a brand new configuration program with extensive hypertext help, Editor support of several BBS message formats including *.msg, Hudson, Goldbase, WildCat 4.x, PCBoard 15.x and more. A nodediff processor is now also included.

Further Development, Inc. can be reached for voice support and orders at 954-418-9400. The hours are Monday thru Friday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern. The company's Internet E-mail address is fdi@furtherdev.com and its Web page is accessible athttp://www.furtherdev.com. The release version can be file requested as INTERMAIL or IMDEMO from their Mailer at 1:369/35 at 954-418-8110 or downloaded from their FTP site at ftp://www.furtherdev.com/pub (/demo).
