I received your earlier message on this subject, and you said: > In reply to Tim Irvin's note: "yet another date problem on the RS6000"... > > I have just started using mh 6.7.1 on my RISC System model 320. The options > I used to compile it were: > > MH 6.7.1 #6[UCI] (nova) of Wed Apr 17 11:29:58 EDT 19911 > options: [ATHENA] [ATZ] [BIND] [DBM] [ISI] [MHRC] > [MORE='"/usr/bin/more"'] [RPATHS] [SOCKETS] [SYS5] [SYS5DIR] > [TYPESIG='void'] [TZNAME] [curses="-lcurses"] > [ldoptlibs="-ldbm"] [SENDMTS] > > There were also a number of minor changes that had to be made to the > source.

So far however, > I can't say that I have had the same problem that Tim has had with > the date. Can you elaborate on the changes you made? Are diffs available? Just telling us what options you used isn't enough (for me, at least), especially since you said you had to modify the source. ------------- I have the following problem with MH 6.7.1 (and I also had it for MH 6.7) when I tried to compile on RS6000. (running 3005) I can compile the mhconfig program successfully, but when I try to run it, I get the following error message: % mhconfig MH This is mhconfig, for generic UNIX (MH.6 configuration program) mhconfig: usage: mhconfig file Exit 1 Any help you can offer would be most appreciated.
