I have located documention for the send command but I can't find the source code for it. The command acts like write but will take a line of text as an arguement and send that message to the specified user and then terminates. I think that it existed at CMU. If anyone could mail me a copy of it, assuming it is public domain, I would appreciate a copy. Thanks in advace. -David Kovar Dartmouth College ...decvax!dartvax!davidk

It was used quite frequently. It obviously isn't what you mentioned but it will do the same job. Contact them about it since I have currently lost touch with them. If they are not on the net, you can try 212-643-8484 and ask to speak to systems. If you do call them, find out when they are getting on the net since I would like to resume contact via electronic mail.
