About a month ago, I posted some mods to smail 2.5 for use under SCO Xenix
System V. At that time, I had gotten the thing to work, but I hadn't
cleaned up or commented my changes.
Well, I've been cleaning and commenting for about a week now, and I'm
finally happy with the result. I've sent the sharchive to Brandon Allbery;
it should be appearing in comp.sources.misc within a week. (Unless Brandon
has a backlog.)
For those of you that have applied my old changes -- USE THE NEW PATCHES
INSTEAD. Three reasons for using the _new_ patches:
They're commented: You can figure out what I did.
They're cleaner: Nothing inconsequential was changed.
There's a new feature: Defining MICNET in defs.h makes all mail
go through execmail.
There is one hitch: if you haven't got Larry Wall's "patch" program, you
won't be able to use the new patches. Sorry. (Oh, by the way -- the new
patches use the original smail 2.5 sources as a base. What's that? You
didn't keep a copy of the original sources? Shame on you!)
If you need the patch program, it is available on all good archive servers
everywhere. And if you can't find an archive server, try any public-access
Unix.
