\begin{itemize}
\item PP is not proprietary and can be used for any purpose. The only
restriction is that suing of the authors for any damage
the code may cause is not allowed.

\item PP runs on a range of UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems, in
particular: SUNOS, Ultrix, and BSD. No kernel
modifications are required.   

\item Current modules include:
	\begin{itemize}
	\item   X.400 (1984) P1 protocol
	\item   JNT Mail (Grey Book) Protocol
	\item  	Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP / RFC~821)
	\item   UUCP Mail transfer
	\item	Distribution List expansion and maintenance.
	\item   RFC 822 based local delivery
	\item	Delivery time processing of messages
	\item	Conversion between X.400 and RFC~822 according to RFC~1148
		 and RFC~987
	\item	Conversion support for reformatting body parts and headers.
	\item	X-Windows based management console.
	\item   Message Authorisation checking
	\item	X.400 (1988) P1 protocol (beta test)
	\item	X.500 based distribution list facility using the QUIPU 
		directory (beta test)
	
	\end{itemize}


\item No User Agents (UAs) are included with PP.  However, procedural access
to the MTA is documented, to encourage others to write or to port UAs.
Several existing UAs, such as MH, may be used with PP.

\item PP \ppversion/ requires ISODE \isodevrsn/. Releases of ISODE
before and after \isodevrsn/ cannot be used as alternatives. 

\item X--Windows release X11R4 is neded by some of the management tools.  PP
can be operated without these tools.

\item Although PP is not ``supported'' per se (but see later), it does
have a problem reporting address:  

\begin{tabbing}

RFC 822: \= PP-SUPPORT@CS.UCL.AC.UK \\ \\

X.400: \> S=PP-Support; OU=CS; O=UCL; \\
       \> PRMD=UK.AC; ADMD=\verb*| |; C=GB; \\

\end{tabbing}




Bug
reports (and fixes) are welcome.

\item The discussion group PP-PEOPLE@CS.UCL.AC.UK is used as an open forum
on PP; Contact PP-PEOPLE-REQUEST@CS.UCL.AC.UK to be added to this
list.

\item The primary documentation for this release consists of a three and
a half volume User's Manual (approx. 300 pages) and a set of UNIX
manual pages.  The sources to the User's Manual are in LaTeX
format.
