[comp.sys.apollo] SR10/DomainOS mail questions...

shull@SCROLLS.WHARTON.UPENN.EDU (Christopher E. Shull) (06/17/88)

Two questions:

   1) Anybody out there know whether DPSS/Mail will become compatible
      with BSD 4.3 UNIX mail at SR10?  Or if Apollo's internal mail-
      gateway will be made available?

   2) Is anybody working on (or already have) a Dialog front-end for
      the BSD mail program?

 Chris:

DPSS/MAil will become compatible with Bezerkeley mail at SR10. I don't have
the documentation in front of me, but there will be a DPSS/Mail "interface"
to Bezerkeley mail. For details, see the document entitled "Making the
Transition to SR10" (I think thats what its called-- Get a copy from George).
I believe that it works like a "gateway" as you describe. 

I guess that makes question #2 a moot point !!
