Seemed great to me. Always glad to hear such things. Perhaps my manager will note how my fun time is spent? Perhaps not.

I bet you have >= 16 Mbytes of memory too. There's now new information in the Makefile about that. # If your SUN has more 16 Mbytes of memory and running sendmail # crashes it, you have the 'pmeg' bug. Get patch 100092-03 and install it. # It's available via anon-FTP from princeton.edu in # pub/sun-fixes/sunos4.1/{100092-03.tar.Z,README.100092-03} Happy mailing. Soon to come: 5.65c: 8bit changes from across the pond, and support for more curious unix boxes. There's at least one of everything in this University if you look in the right crevices... /pbp -- Paul Pomes UUCP: {att,iuvax,uunet}!uiucuxc!paul Internet, BITNET: paul@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu US Mail: UofIllinois, CSO, 1304 W Springfield Ave, Urbana, IL 61801-2910
