I was reading comp.mail.uucp and I found the following article. It describes someone's difficulties with uucp host name lengths. He includes a sample session from his distribution. But look what's in the sample...

What is Elm [revision: 64.9] ?!?!?!?!?!? I've seen this on some mail that I've recieved. What's interesting about the situation is that it came from a system running HP-UX 7.0 as well. In fact it was an HP 9000/360, too! What's the scoop here? Thanks - sparkie P.S. Please reply to: harier!sparkie@cs.wisc.edu and not to this account.

Revision 64.9 is the version of Elm that comes with HP-UX 7.0. -- Jeff Okamoto HP Corporate Computing and Services okamoto@ranma.corp.hp.com +1-415-857-6236

Elm 64.9 is HP's distributed version of Elm. It comes supported with the 7.0 version of HP-UX. I don't know the history behind the 64.9. Peter

HP-UX 7.0 comes with a "productized" version of Elm, currently at revision 64.9 (that is, it's the version supplied with HP-UX 7.0). It's similar in most ways to "real" Elm 2.2, with some minor changes.

I believe HP, for whom the original elm author (Dave Taylor) worked at the time he wrote elm, is maintaining/developing its own elm independently and distributing it as part of HP-UX. -- UUCP: {rutgers|ames|uunet}!mimsy!woodb!fallst!tkevans INTERNET: tkevans%fallst@wb3ffv.ampr.org Tim Evans 2201 Brookhaven Ct, Fallston, MD 21047

Its closest to Usenet Elm 2.1, and the differences are widening. Usenet Elm 2.2 is different and 2.3 and 2.4 are widening that gap. I don't know HP's plans for future enhancements to their version. -- ===================================================================== Sydney S.
