This is the README for appnmail.1.8.s.bs.tgz [Download] [Browse] [Up]

This is appnmail from Carl Edman's mailapp-utilities (1.8) compiled for use
under Solaris, so it can be used if your NEXTSTEP/OpenStep machine is mounting
from a Solaris mail server. It also includes GNU regex (0.12), modified to
support NEXTSTEP regex API.

This collection is in no way considered to be nice and well written. I just
did all the hacking (also in Makefiles created by ./configure) necessary
to get it to compile and run. I think appnmail shouldn't be compiled with
-O2, at least not on gcc 2.7.1, otherwise it doesn't work (I haven't
verified this, I just left it in the state it was when it worked).

If you want to know what is different from the original versions, just
grab the files from any server near you and perform diffs.

If you want to recompile it, first do a make in the regex directory and then
in the mailapp-utilities directory. Otherwise you will get a lot of compilation
errors.

If you think it is useful, feel free to use it, but there is absolutely
no warranty, neither expressed nor implied (you get what you pay for).

In the improbable case I should ever think of making an update, you might
find it on ftp://ftp.tik.ee.ethz.ch/pub/people/mwa/
