- smail/PC 2.5 Source Distribution
- README file by Stephen C. Trier
- Version 1.0b3 of smail/PC
-
-
- This is the source code for smail/PC 2.5. The archive files that are here
- are meant to be uncompressed into separate directories on your hard disk for
- each. The UUPC directory contains another archive; uncompress it into its own
- directory within the UUPC directory. The source archive contains different
- material than the binary archive; you will probably need the binaries if you
- want to use smail instead of just reading the code! :-)
-
- Makefiles for Turbo C 2.0 are provided for all of the programs. The
- makefiles assume that the files are arranged in the directory tree suggested by
- the archives. Also, the make clean and make clobber options assume the
- availability of a UNIX-style rm command. Change these to del commands if you
- would like to use clean and clobber but do not have a UNIX-style rm.
-
- Please see the file "contacts" in the doc directory for e-mail addresses
- of the authors. PC-specific information should be directed to Stephen Trier;
- other requests should go to the uucp-query and uucp-problems addresses.
-
- Unfortunately, I do not have the source to any pathalias-like program that
- works under MS-DOS. Therefore, I can't include it. If someone would like to
- write such a program, please do so. (Hint, hint) Please note that smail can be
- interfaced to many different mail packages, as long as three conditions are
- met:
- 1) The package must understand and generate RFC-822-compliant mail.
- 2) The package can call an outside mailer with the mail as standard
- input and the addresses on the command line.
- 3) A version of lmail exists that can put incoming mail in a format
- compatible with your program.
-
- lmail is surprisingly simple to write; you should be able to replace it
- with ease.
-
- If you make any changes or improvements, please let me know. Also, please
- note that the contents of the doc, smail, and passwd archives are 100% free
- public domain software. The contents of the uupc archive is copyrighted, but
- free distribution is permitted. Also, please note that I am unable to include
- the source to Mush for reasons of size. You should be able to obtain that from
- the same people who gave you smail/PC.
