The following modifications should allow Tim Curry's "nmail" program (see June 20 net.sources) to run on most BTL UNIX 4.0 systems: *** diff timsnmail.h mynmail.h: 22a23 > * MAILER - The pathname of your favorite mailer. 29,30d29 < #define NETFILE "/usr1/vlsi/tim/net/network" < #define LOCAL ucf-cs 31a31,34 > > #define NETFILE "/g1/cja/netnews/nmail/sites" > #define LOCAL ihuxg > #define MAILER "/g1/exptools/bin/Mail" *** diff timsnmail.c mynmail.c: 98c98 < /* initialize the buffer to mail */ --- > /* initialize the buffer */ 100,101c100,101 < strcpy(paths,"mail "); < ppos = 5; --- > paths[0] = '\0'; > ppos = 0; 107c107 < if (!(index(argv[i],'@')) && !(index(argv[i],'!'))) --- > if (!(strchr(argv[i],'@')) && !(strchr(argv[i],'!'))) 116c116 < { if (index(argv[i],'@') && !(index(argv[i],'!'))) strcpy(addr,ARPA); --- > { if (strchr(argv[i],'@') && !(strchr(argv[i],'!'))) strcpy(addr,ARPA); 187c187,189 < execl("/usr/ucb/mail","mail",paths,0); --- > execl(MAILER,MAILER,paths,0); > fprintf(stderr,"%s: unable to execl %s\n",argv[0],MAILER); > exit(1); Of course, you must define NETFILE and LOCAL for your installation via "runme". Nmail runs like a champ. Thanks to Tim for providing an alternative for those of us shackled to officially supported systems! Chuck Antonelli BTL/IW1Z-313 ihnss!ihuxg!cja
