At any time, this file is available as /bbsys4/README. It is suggested that
you get a copy before starting any serious transferring; the information

### Miscellany
Almost all files are compressed using 16 bits. If you are running on a small
machine without 16-bit compress, then try very, very hard to get 16-bit
compress. If you're desperate, contact me via mail and something can be
arranged. (send mail to {ames,cbosgd,codas,ihnp4,mit-eddie}!killer!wisner)

### The Mail User's Shell
mush, or "The Mail User's Shell," provides powerful csh-like history and
aliasing, and three different modes of operation: a shell mode, similar
to Berkeley's Mail and AT&T's mailx; a curses mode, reminiscent of Elm;
and, on Sun computers, a "mushtool" mode with takes advantage of all
of those nifty mouse/icon/window thingies. This is version 6.0, updated
Monday, February 15, 1987.

### GNU Emacs
GNU Emacs is a full-featured text editor, fully extensible via a built-in
version of the lisp programming language. It's huge, too. This is version
18.49; there is a diff that will make it 18.50.
GNU Emacs has been split into 36 files.
/bbsys4/fsf/emacs-18.49-[aa-bi], 100000 bytes each
/bbsys4/fsf/emacs-18.49-bj, 69492 bytes
To unpack:
$ cat emacs-18.49-?? | zcat - | tar xovf -
There is also a diff file that will turn Emacs 18.49 into Emacs 18.50.

### dist, software distribution tools
dist is a set of tools written by Larry Wall used for distribution of
software, primarily via USENET. It includes metaconfig, a program that
generates Configure shell scripts; makedist, which creates distribution
kits; and a program that generates patches by gathering diffs on all
files in a distribution.

### GNU awk, beta-test
gawk is the Free Software Foundation's replacement for the standard UNIX
tool awk. This is the beta test distribution, "probably around version
1.01 or so." It is known to work on BSD UNIX; its System V functionality
is dubious.

### Sendmail, version 5.17
This is the ubiquitous sendmail. It is at its best on Internet machines,
but does have uses on machines with simpler mail requirements.
/bbsys4/misc/sndml.mx.tar.Z, 475187 bytes
### Generic sendmail configuration
This package -- hopefully -- simplifies configuring sendmail.
