I'm using a version of smail that I got from uunet -- the filename
was smail3.1.19.Z. The header that smail is putting in my mail,
though, is smail3.1.18.1.
The file smail/patchnum looks like this:
# @(#)patchnum 1.23 11/22/89 23:12:35
PATCH_NUMBER=18
PATCH_DATE=22-nov-89
Is this really the latest version of smail, or should I look elsewhere
for the latest patches? I don't have ftp access except to uunet.
Thanks!
Bill

I don't have ftp access except to uunet. Yes, that's the most current version. The differences between PL18 and PL19 were in the documentation and sample configuration files. Since none of the source changed, the source version number did not change. A bit confusing, isn't it? -- Lyndon Nerenberg VE6BBM / Computing Services / Athabasca University atha!cs.athabascau.ca!lyndon || lyndon@cs.athabascau.ca Packet: ve6bbm@ve6bbm.ab.can.noam The only thing open about OSF is their mouth. --Chuck Musciano

I don't have ftp access except to uunet. We have the same thing here, but I've been told that the difference in the version (sub)number results from changed DOCUMENTATION only, so the program (and the make) weren't numbered 19 but stayed 18.
