I only know of three.] -- I have used arpatxt for the last year with no known problems. However, I only use it to generate direct pathalias entries, we cannot use the internet to forward uucp mail. Installation was a headache since including arpatxt output as just another map file results in considerable cross internet routing. My solution was to build separate pathalias databases from comp.mail.maps data and the nic hosttable(via arpatxt). I merge the two databases with a combination of join and awk. This is all automated so I don't normally pay much attention to it(I had to look at the setup to write this response). Charles Ball cball@inmet.com Intermetrics, Inc.
