I haven't had much luck in trying to contact individuals about things that their sites have written to handle the PROTOCOL%"user@host" VMS mail construct. I know a lot of different things are out there, and after this evening have decided that reinventing such a wheel for myself would be a real pain in the tush. I'm running the standard Wollongong stuff, and the MAILER!user@host construct leaves very little in the way of versatility. Is anyone distributing [netwise, preferably; I am not on a convenient feed for DECUS tapes] code for their own foreign handler, or at least a good example from which I can more easily cons one up? _H* -------

I will mail it under separate cover, as it is too large to post as is. Kevin Carosso (engvax!kvc@cit-vax) also has a nice one. I have very little need for it where I'm working right now, as I can use the stuff provided by Joiner. However, it is still in daily use where I used to work, and I continue to improve it as I think of things that it needs. gkn --------------------------------------- Arpa: GKN%SDSC.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU USPS: Gerard K.
