Question 1 - Apollo Specific
In configuring mh, I understood that the node running the sendmail
daemon is required before starting the compile. Apollo ships a
version of mh in /usr/new/mh that does not require the node to be
specified. How is this done?
I have noted the difference in the compile option switch "[APOLLO]".
I did a grep on version 6.6 and 6.7 and didn't find the word "apollo"
(anycase) anywhere?
My version of mh:
version: MH 6.6 #3[UCI] (vern) of Mon Sep 17 12:08:55 MST 1990
options: [BSD42] [BSD43] [BERK] [BIND] [TTYD] [DUMB] [NFS] [MHE] [MHRC]
[NETWORK] [RPATHS] [SBACKUP='"#"']
[MORE='"/usr/local/bin/dmcat"'] [SENDMTS] [SMTP]
Apollo's version of mh:
version: MH 6.6 #1[UCI] (ics) of Tue May 24 15:51:53 PDT 1988
options: [BERK] [BIND] [BSD42] [BSD43] [DUMB] [MHE] [RPATHS] [TTYD]
[UCI] [SBACKUP='"#"'] [SENDMTS] [APOLLO]
Question 2 - show
In the .mh_profile for show I have declared a showproc and some arguments
that go with that program.
from /mh_profile:
show: -showproc /user/turner/sources/dmedit/dmcat2 -w1
(w1 defines a specific window location)
When I invoke show from the command line and explicitly state a different
-showproc, the -w1 is passed to the explicitly stated program.
example:
% show -showproc /bin/cat | lpr
-w1: No such file or directory
Any suggestion on how to get show not to pass the "w1" to /bin/cat?

The "/smtp" option causes MH to post using a TCP connection to the SMTP port. Without that option, it will fork/exec sendmail. >I have noted the difference in the compile option switch "[APOLLO]". Maybe Apollo made some changes?

The newest release is MH 6.7.1 -- there've been a lot of bug fixes since MH 6.6. >Apollo's version of mh: >version: MH 6.6 #1[UCI] (ics) of Tue May 24 15:51:53 PDT 1988 >options: [BERK] [BIND] [BSD42] [BSD43] [DUMB] [MHE] [RPATHS] [TTYD] > [UCI] [SBACKUP='"#"'] [SENDMTS] [APOLLO] I wouldn't have included the "UCI" option if I were them, since it's somewhat specific to UC Irvine. Also, unless they're supplying TTYD, they shouldn't include that option. In MH 6.7, there's little reason to use the BERK option. >In the .mh_profile for show I have declared a showproc and some arguments >that go with that program. >show: -showproc /user/turner/sources/dmedit/dmcat2 -w1 Sorry, but options don't take extra arguments. Make your showproc a shell script which execs your dmcat2 program with any extra arguments you want. -- John Romine
