The IMAP software is now ready for distribution from SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU (internet address [36.44.0.6]). The IMAP distribution is available by anonymous FTP from SUMEX as imap/imap.tar.Z . So, the following commands on your favorite Unix should snarf things: % ftp sumex-aim.stanford.edu Name: anonymous Password: foo ftp> binary ftp> cd imap ftp> get imap.tar.Z ftp> quit % uncompress imap.tar.Z % tar -xf imap.tar You should take a look at imap/README before doing anything. If you connect to imap and do a "make" it should build all the software. The two most important binaries built by "make" will be imap/clients/ms/ms and imap/servers/imapd/imapd. Please report any problems to Mark Crispin at mrc@Blake.ACS.Washington.EDU and to Bill Yeager at yeager@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU. -------

First, when I did "ftp sumex-aim.stanford.edu" I got connected to sumex-2060.stanford.edu. I can't seem to reproduce it, so maybe it was some transient nameserver problem? But, the real point of this message is to remind people that when they announce the availability of software, it would be a good idea to give some idea of what it was. I havn't the foggiest idea what IMAP is and there isn't even a READ-ME file that I can ftp; to figure out if I want it I have to pull the whole 365 kbyte compressed tar file from one coast to the other. -- Roy Smith, System Administrator Public Health Research Institute {allegra,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers}!phri!roy -or- phri!roy@uunet.uu.net "The connector is the network"
