We have been running it here at the University of Pennsylvania for
some time now. (The "old version" under vms 3.6).

No real comments other than "it works".

The usual problem is that someone from an IBM site forgets to
use the "(old" parameter on their "SENDFILE" command.
(Don't ask about the IBM side... its ugly, you send punch files!)

We have it integrated into our local mail handler so that things
work from mail (not DEC's mail) that makes sending messages out much
easier than using "send"
