[net.emacs] Using Buletin Boards under 4.2bsd

	      I tried to install the bboard macro package on my 4.2
	 vaxen and discovered that the post macro attempts to execute
	 /usr/local/lib/emacs/maclib/safepost which promptly core
	 dumps on an a "Bad system call" error.

	      So I went looking for the source to safepost, and can't
	 find it.  HELP!  Please send me the source, or point out to
	 me what safepost does so I can do it myself.

For whatever it is worth, I had the BB stuff for Emacs here for
awhile. It was so full of CMU dependencies that I gave it up
as a bad job. If someone else manages to get those problems
out of it, I too would be interested. If interest warrents, I
think I can post the stuff, I'm not sure that it is still around.
