Has anyone compiled MH-6.7 in ultrix4.1 I am having troubles because I get a lot of Warning messages and also macnum,proxy,macros,macbuf are said to be undefined. The machine is used here is DecSystem 5000/200 and I would like to have also POP/BBOARDS support. * Tuominen Keijo E-mail adresses: * * Klaneettitie 18 d 56 00420 HKI remo@otax.tky.hut.fi * * Phone (Home): 90-538606/90-466292 s36579e@taltta.hut.fi * * Phone (Office): 456 4295 VTT keijo.tuominen@vtt.fi (Office)*

I have MH6.7.1 compiled under ULTRIX 4.1: The next release of ULTRIX actually contains a version of it as standard (whoooopppeee! MH6.5 is dead at last!) The problem is that the 4.1 libc.a had the ruserpass() function removed, and as the POP support in MH requires this function, you find undefined references on inc and msgchk. I think that an upgrade to 4.1 was available that contained a fixed libc.a ; the alternative is for you to take a copy of the file containing ruserpass() from any old version of ULTRIX libc.a that you might have lying around. Hope that this helps! Paul. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-==-=-== Mail Group, ULTRIX Engineering Group, Digital Equipment Corp., Reading, England.

Or updated to Ultrix 4.2? Have the tapes rolled out yet?

I'm curious whether they used the MH distribution, or hacked it up like they did X11R3 in Ver 3.0. Anyone have source for alex? If not, anyone got a man page? ________________________________________________________________________ Eric W.

"They" indeed. Humph. No, we didn't `hack it up'--the MH6.7.1 distribution includes some of our fixes: the only significant difference you'll find between our distribution and John Romine's is the addition of latent X.400 support, multiple `inc' sources and alex. (you can include mail from files, pop and X.400 all at the same time) |> |> Anyone have source for alex?

Alex knows about headers and the alias file: so it can extract addresses from a mail message and add them to the alias file or print them out in a variety of interesting ways.

To back-up what John says, "Yes!!", alex source will be made available, as will all of Digital's fixes/changes to the base MH that are useful outside of DEC: I'm just a lazy so-and-so!!! In the past I have had problems mailing Digital patches direct to John Romine, so I may take the liberty of mailing the source to the net here: it also means that alex will then be availble directly, rather than in some future release of MH.
