You can get it from our mail server or by FTP. The one I use is a more elaborate one than the one in the archive. If interested write me personally for a copy. How to get mailserv.tar.Z from the archive at Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University: NOTE: In the following I have assumed your mail address is john@highbrow.edu. Of course you must substitute your own address for this. This should be a valid internet or uucp address. For bitnet users name@host.BITNET usually works. by FTP: (please restrict access to weekends or evening/night (i.e. between about 20.00 and 0900 UTC). ftp archive.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5] user name: anonymous or ftp password: your own email address (e.g. john@highbrow.edu) cd /pub don't forget to set binary mode if the file is a tar/arc/zoo archive, compressed or in any other way contains binary data. get UNIX/mailserv.tar.Z by mail-server: send the following message to mail-server@cs.ruu.nl (or uunet!mcsun!hp4nl!ruuinf): begin path john@highbrow.edu send UNIX/mailserv.tar.Z end The path command can be deleted if we receive a valid from address in your message. If this is the first time you use our mail server, we suggest you first issue the request: send HELP -- Piet* van Oostrum, Dept of Computer Science, Utrecht University, Padualaan 14, P.O.
