Subject: MDM740 on SIMTEL20?

There are no plans to put MDM740 on SIMTEL20, Jim.  Irv Hoff has
copyrighted the program and refuses to release the source.  However,
we are keeping MDM730 until work is completed on MODM700, which will
be available on SIMTEL20 soon.  The message below explains:

Re:   New version of MODEM7 pending

   MODM700 is now in preparation.  It will be based on
MDM730, with all the bug fixes plus several new features.
It will be supplied with FULL SOURCE CODE and will be
available to ALL in the public domain.  Watch here
for an announcement when it's ready.  MODEM2/MODEM7
is being returned to the public domain!

   Why is this being done when MEX is available now?
Because some people need a modem program in source code
in order to be able to customize certain portions to
special requirements which cannot be met in the user
overlay area.  There is NO QUESTION that MEX is a far
better program, and I encourage all to use it.
