[comp.unix.aux] Setting up A/UX

In the "dastardly sendmail.cf" war, the EASE software helps you win!
EASE is a package of stuff to translate sendmail.cf files into something that 
looks like a high-level language and back again. If nothing else, it removes 
the danger of making tiny syntax errors in the sendmail.cf file.

I send back some patches to EASE 3.0 so that it works under A/UX (they were 
small: an uninitialised variable, free(0) considered harmful): I think I 
noticed EASE 3.1 on one of the FTP servers at Apple, but I can't find it 
now....

Disclaimer: I don't have to do sendmail "for real".

Is there anyone out there with comments on EASE, including where to FTP it 
from? It was written and posted to alt.sources by Bruce Barnett

Ease 3.2 is on gatekeeper.dec.com. I will send it to comp.sources soon.
