The current software is: . servers: BSD Unix (written in C), DEC-20 (written in assembly language) . clients: portable (written in C), Xerox Lisp, TI Common Lisp The portable client is available for BSD Unix; ports for the Macintosh, MS-DOS, and NeXT are in the works (the BSD Unix version runs on the NeXT as is, but no fancy window/menus). An earlier version of the portable client runs on the DEC-20. IMAP is much more powerful than POP; I like to say that IMAP is to POP the way a BMW is to a tricycle. Contacts for the software are Mark Crispin (mrc@Blake.ACS.Washington.EDU) and Bill Yeager (yeager@SUMEX-AIM.Stanford.EDU). -- Mark -- -------
