I'd like to hear from some people running strange hardware and/or software combinations that are interested in beta testing the next release of the Elm Mail System. If you'd like to do this I require: 1. A small mag tape sent to me at: Dave Taylor Hewlett-Packard Laboratories - 3L 1501 Page Mill Road Palo Alto, CA 94304 2. A willingness to WRITE DOWN any and all problems you encounter 3. A small donation of $50,000 in small, unmarked bills. 4. If you're going to do this I also request that you get a copy of "cdiff" (? diffc) and use that for sending *me* any patches. 5. You'll also need to let me know your email address so I can set up a mailing list for beta testers. (uh, the third one is a ringer, I admit! ;-) Anyway, Elm 1.7 consists mostly of all the patches and such posted to the net plus a number of fixes and slight enhancements of my own. After the beta test period I plan on posting the entire source code, probably to comp.sources.unix or some other group of that ilke. I'm especially interested in straight SYSV and BSD machines, and if anyone is interested in hacking on the Xenix version of Elm, please get in touch with me too! If you're interested in this, drop me a note indicating what version of Unix (if any) you're running, and what hardware you're running on. Yowee! We're having fun now!! -- Dave Taylor --

BSD people should generate their diffs using "diff -c". That's why the public domain program is called "diffc". -- - Joe Buck jbuck@epimass.EPI.COM {seismo,ucbvax,sun,decwrl,<smart-site>}!epimass.epi.com!jbuck Old arpa mailers: jbuck%epimass.EPI.COM@seismo.css.gov
