	... compiled ELM on a NEXT machine? I would like to be able to
	access mail on a NEXT, when I dial in, and I'm sort of partial
	to ELM.

	I just thought I'd ask before I went and tried something that
	was not possible.

Yes, we have elm 2.3 running on our NeXT.  It works just fine.

Of course, you need to do a few things before you compile it.
Here's the notes on how to proceed, assuming you have complete
sources for Elm 2.3 PL 11:


Notes on compiling Elm on NeXT/Mach 2.0 20 Jan 91

The man pages go in /usr/lib/man/mann by default; if it
doesn't exist already, su needs to create that directory.

While running Configure:

   When asked about more compiler flags, answer: -bsd
   -fwritable-strings .

   When asked about additional libraries, answer: -lsys_s .

   When asked about where the cc library is because
   Configure can't find it, answer: /lib/libsys_s.a .

Before running make:

   In <elmdir>/src/out_utils.c, comment out STRPBRK, because
   it's defined in libsys_s.a .  (I have a copy in which
   this has been done.)

   Manually add a #define STRPBRK to config.h .

Then go ahead with make all as noted in Instructions.
