Hi - I need a curses (well, text screen anyway) based interface to MH, preferably something pretty user friendly and idiot proof, but even an interface that looks like regular mail would be okay (the idea is to give a group of users access to MH without giving them shell access or making them learn all of the assorted shell commands required to use MH). Please reply via e-mail to libove@libove.det.dec.com since I am out of my office and pretty much can't read usenet news :-( Thanks! -Jay Vassos-Libove libove@libove.det.dec.com, ...decwrl!libove.det.dec.com!libove -- Jay Vassos-Libove libove@libove.det.dec.com Digital Equipment Corporation decwrl!libove.det.dec.com!libove Detroit ACT/Ultrix Resource Center Opinions?

I developed it on an Altos 386, running Altos System V, so there may (will) be some porting problems. There are also a few bugs which I haven't had time to iron out yet. The good news is that it is a full screen, user friendly interface that uses *only* standard MH commands to manipulate folders and messages. It is basically a point-and-pick, function-key driven menu system that provides the basic MH services (comp, repl, forw, rmm, folder, rmf, show, msgchk, etc.). It also allows for some rudimentary help screens. I would be happy to share this with others (provided my employer approves) with the hopes of getting some feedback on whether it is really useable or not. (I only use it occasionaly myself, I don't like menus.) Suggestions for improvement would also be welcome. If you're interested, contact me (phone or e-mail) and we'll make arrangements to get the source to you. Thanks, Sean. ======================================= Sean Baker <sean@dmr.asa.com> Data Management Resources 20725 South Western Avenue, Suite 100 Torrance, CA 90501 USA (213)618-9677
