-- UUCP access to killer
For 1200 baud UUCP access, call +1 214 827 2919; for 2400 baud, +1 214 821
3795. Use the login "uupdsrc" with no password. At this time we place no
access restrictions on the use of this service, but please try to be
reasonable.
-- Up-to-date information
At any time, this file is available as /bbsys4/README. It is suggested that
you get a copy before starting any serious transferring; the information
contained herein might well change by the time you read it.
-- Miscellany
Almost all files are compressed using 16 bits. If you are running on a small
machine without 16-bit compress, then try very, very hard to get 16-bit
compress. If you're desperate, contact me via mail and something can be
arranged. (send mail to {cbosgd,codas,ihnp4,mit-eddie}!killer!billw)
What's available?

-- Elm version 1.7 beta
Elm is short for "ELectronic Mailer," a powerful screen-based mail program.
Additional components of the elm system include an auto-reply daemon, to
automatically respond to your mail while you are on vacation, and a filter
program to perform simple mail preprocessing with the help of sendmail.

-- The Mail User's Shell, version 6.0b
mush, or "The Mail User's Shell," is another mail program. This one can
operate in one of three different modes: a shell mode, similar to Berkeley's
Mail and AT&T's mailx but with aliases and history like Berkeley's C
Shell; a curses mode, reminiscent of Elm; and, on Sun computers, a
"mushtool" mode which takes advantage of all those mouse/icon/window
thingies.
/bbsys4/misc/mush6.0b.tar.Z, 245163 bytes
-- dist, software distribution tools
dist is a set of tools written by Larry Wall used for distribution of
software, primarily via USENET. It includes metaconfig, a program that
generates Configure shell scripts; makedist, which creates distribution
kits, and a program that generates patches by gathering diffs on all
files in a distribution.

-- GNU awk, beta-test
gawk is the Free Software Foundation's replacement for the standard UNIX
tool awk. This is the beta test distribution, "probably around version
1.01 or so." It is known to work on BSD UNIX; its System V functionality
is dubious.
/bbsys4/gnu/awk.tar.Z, 100061 bytes
-- Sendmail, version 5.17
This is the ubiquitous sendmail. It is at its best on Internet machines,
but does have uses on machines with simpler mail requirements.
/bbsys4/misc/sndml.mx.tar.Z, 475187 bytes
-- Generic sendmail configuration
This package -- hopefully -- simplifies configuring sendmail.
/bbsys4/misc/sndml.cf.tar.Z, 126839 bytes
-- GNU Bison
GNU Bison is the Free Software Foundation's replacement for yacc, and
includes one function that is not available in yacc.
/bbsys4/gnu/bison.tar.Z, 76059 bytes
-- GNU Emacs version 18.49
GNU Emacs is a full-featured text editor, fully extensible via a built-in
version of the lisp programming language. It's huge, too.
GNU Emacs has been split into 36 files.
/bbsys4/gnu/emacs-18.49-{aa-bi}, 100000 bytes each
/bbsys4/gnu/emacs-18.49-bj, 69492 bytes
To unpack:

If all the world's a stage, I want to operate the trap door.
