We have 8 or so RS/6000s, as well as Apollos, IBM mainframe, Vaxen, etc. I heard somewhere that ELM is a good X-based mail interface. Is it a front end to mh? How does it compare with Xmh or Zip? Is ELM available at any FTP sites? And, has anyone out there ported it to the RS/6000? Any help is appreciated. Please respond to me via BITNET (RBNTJC@ROHVM1), or rbntjc@rohmhaas.com. Thanks. I will post of summary if there is interest.

I learned this the hard way until I looked at AIX's includes file carefully enough :-( Flags necessary: -D_NO_PROTO -D_NONSTD_TYPES -U_ANSI_C_SOURCE -U__STR__ Please look into includes to see why they are necessary. FYI, if you want a X-based mail interface, try the recently posted xmail, which DOES fit your bill.
