[comp.mail.elm] .elmrc error in Elm 2.3 PL6

richard@raet-sh.UUCP (Richard van Denzel) (09/17/90)

I recently upgraded from HP_UX 3.1 to HP_UX 7.0 (and from a 840 to a 832S) and
when I used ELM 2.3 PL6 the following errors occurred:

I can't understand line 23 in your ".elm/elmrc" file:
> receivedmail = $HOME/Mail/received
I can't understand line 38 in your ".elm/elmrc" file:
> sentmail = $HOME/Mail/mail.sent
I can't understand line 56 in your ".elm/elmrc" file:
> alwaysstore = ON
I can't understand line 59 in your ".elm/elmrc" file:
> alwayskeep = ON
I can't understand line 76 in your ".elm/elmrc" file:
> bounceback = 0
I can't understand line 107 in your ".elm/elmrc" file:
> promptafter = ON

Deleting the original .elm/elmrc file and then starting ELM again generated the
same errors.
Also recompiling ELM brought no solution.

Has anyone out there got a clue to what the .... is going on? Please Help!!!!

        Thanks in advance,

                Richard.

I replied to Richard by e-mail already but this might be of interest to
other HP users as well...

  Starting at the HP-UX 7.0 release, HP delivers its own version of Elm,
which is based on some kinda Elm 2.1 version (don't nail me if I got some
version number incorrect) and is therefore out of date. If you've been
using Elm from the Elm Development Group, you don't want to use the
HP version! When I upgrade to 7.0, one of the first things I did, is
remove everything that was part of the Elm version that came with 7.0.


			thanks for your time,
