PagePlanet: New Pricing Model for MGI
PagePlanet Software, Inc. is pleased to announce a new pricing and product
offering model effective immediately.
PPS will now sell Modular Gateway Interface (MGI) in its Commerce version
only, eliminating the Essentials and Essentials Plus builds. The price for
MGI Commerce is also lowered to $300 per copy, down from its previous price
of $999.
PPS is doing this for several reasons:
1. The overwhelming numbers of MGI sold are the Commerce version. MGI
Commerce contains every one of the tags, modules and features as found in
Essentials and Essentials Plus (plus dozens pf others) making those
versions redundant at this price point.
2. We noticed that WebSTAR is now selling for $399 per copy and we no
longer feel that a third-party plug-in to a WebSTAR should sell for more
than the server itself.
3. We want folks who are already committed to other third-party products to
add MGI to their stable of available tools. Pricing MGI Commerce at $300
allows virtually anyone to add MGI even if...

version 2.2, an update to its powerful and customizable list server and
e-mail manager software.
ListSTAR version 2.2 features and changes
*The ability to add a subject prefix.
*The ability to add a message footer.
*A new serial number scheme.

license key.

necessary without having to wait to roll all the changes into one big

Blugs 1.0b4
From: Brian S Hall ((a href="mailto:moseshll@umich.edu")moseshll@umich.edu(/a) )
Subject: Blugs 1.0b4 Released
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Blugs 1.0b4, a
replacement for the Mac OS List Manager and DataBrowser.
This new beta release is primarily for maintenance, and adds no significant
functionality. It does, however, add a critical bug fix -- possible memory
corruption when adding columns to a column-less list -- so it is highly
recommended you download the new version. It is likely there will be no
more releases before 1.0 GM, which is tentatively scheduled for July 1,
2001.

developers will utilize. The address is
