Diran and I had no problem getting the program to work on my client's
RaQ3 under cgi-wrap.

I will also say that once Diran got involved with us he was very willing
to work hard to have the software work for my client.

Subscribe Me works fine for my client for what it was created for;
people go to his site, join his list, and get the emails.

It didn't do some of the things we wanted it to do, and it didn't work
well on the RaQ with large imported lists, until after those lists were
cleaned.

It had a very long learning curve.

With a lot of help from Diran, we did get it working.

It continues to work, but I don't think I'd use it again for a list of
tens of thousands of addresses.
