The same problem appears with charset="us-ascii" instead of US-ASCII
where metamail should not be necessary. (Elm 2.4PL0, SunOS and Sequent PTX).

Probably the most asked question on SCO releases.  I thought I had
put the answer in the README file.  SCO ships MMDF with a directory
with the incorrect permission.

Run the mmdf script checkup and it will tell you which one.

I'm running an NCR 3000 system, and just compiled ELM 2.4.  Now when I run
newmail during my login process, the program just stops working.  I can use
^C to get things going again.

I compiled with -g option, and used GDB to take a look at the program.  What
was happening is that when the program 'stat(2)s' the /var/mail/$USER file,
the call never returns.

Does anyone have any ideas.

Actually 2.3 and 2.4 behave the same, when configured the same.
For reasons I have reviewed all to often, Elm qualifies local addresses
on replies to avoid undesired alias expansion.
The qualification is based on the 'hostfullname'.

You are telling me that your 'hostfullname' is configured incorrectly,
which is usually the result of running NIS and not setting up a
elm.rc in the global library that defines hostname, domainname and hostfullname.

(I'll bet that the domainname command returns 'none' on your system)

Hello,

I just got elm2.4 PL2 up and I've noticed something in the Message Header Edit
Screen that I've never seen before.  There's a header called "domainize"  When
I use it, it brings up the option of applying it's function to the To: field,
the Cc: field, or the Bcc: field.  When I chose any of the options that it
gives me, nothing appears to happen. 

What does this feature do?  I've looked in every piece of documentation that I
could find.  The Elm Reference Guide says that the screen is self-documenting
and doesn't go on to explain what any its features of this screen are.  So
I've RTFM'd as best I could, but I haven't found any info.  

Since I tend to read this group only for the monthly posting, email responses
would be appreciated.  I'll summarize, I promise.

I use ELM 2.3 under Ultrix on a VT100 emulator through a dialup. There
is a program "toprinter" on the system which takes text from standard
input and directs it to the user's VT100-connected terminal. That 
program is in my path and I use it daily. I would like to print from
elm the same way.

I have tried all manner of changes in .elmrc , by way of the options
screen, without success. A typical attempt is "cat %s | toprinter".
I always get the message "job queued", and no output.

What am I missing?

I can report success installing patches 1 and 2 against
the original sources for 2.4PL0.  In contrast to last week's
efforts, I did not have to make *any* changes to the sources.
Thanks you Syd and everyone who sent him material for the
patches.

I did, however, find it necessary to edit config.sh and
rerun all the *.SH files before proceeding to make, as
follows:

d_memcpy='undef'
nametype='bsd'
d_passnames='define'
passcat='nidump passwd /'
d_bsd='define'

Of course, if you're running Configure on a 3.0 NeXT you can
do this edit at the pause provided for the purpose.  I chose
to let it go at that point, just to see what would happen.
It flagged the memcpy problem in nearly every routine, and
eventually stopped.  So I did a diff with my old config.sh
and made the five changes above.

Incidentally, someone tried it under NS 2.2 this past
weekend and turned to me for help solving various problems.
I don't have access to 2.1 or 2.2 NeXTs, and I didn't
immediately find a solution before the guy decided to just
go with 2.3PL11, which worked right away for him.

So if someone out there has managed to get 2.4PL0 or PL2
going under NS 2.1 or 2.2, I would appreciate knowing what
you did.

Hello!

I just tried to install mush and tracing it found out,
that it (like most mail-readers it seems) does not
lock mail-spool-files over nfs (!) so incoming
messages during updates of the incoming mailbox
will be lost !

Problem is, that 'open dot-lock-file' is not secure
over NFS, but must be replaced by a sequence of
1) open a dummy-file 2) link dummy to lock-file 3) remove dummy
that is because the LINK is again secure and is done directly
on the host which holds the disk !

I'll look into the sources, but having little time, I would appreciate
patches if somebody has done something about that already .

The "Grey Book" mail protocol used on the JANET network in the academic
community in the UK uses Via: fields and not Received: fields. This may not be

Excel does offer exponential curve fitting using the LOGEST() function.
See the Excel function reference manual for details.  If you need
logarithmic or power curve fitting, then Excel can't help.

Another package that provides a full menu of curve fitting tools is
Harvard Graphics.  The curve fitting is, however, limited to  two
dimensions.

Excel 4.0 can do Linear regression, but it does not list non-linear 
regression or curve fitting in their list of Analysis Tools.  A package that 
you might want to try is Stanford Graphics v2.0 for Windows, made by
 3D Vision

This is a Data Analysis package and Presentation Manager for Windows that is 
packed with alot of functions including curve fitting across 2 and 3 
dimensions.  This also has alot of spreadsheet capabilities.  Excel 4.0 is a 
great package if you need to do alot of spreadsheet work, but I don't think 
all of the functions are there that you would need.  Hope this helps.

Here are two books about file formats.  I don't know whether they
cover Lotus and Quattro:

	File Format Handbook
	by Allan Taylor
	500pp, 	1992
	Slawson Communications, Inc.
	165 Vallecitos de Oro
	San Marcos, CA 92069-1436
	(800) 752-9766, (619) 744-2299
	(I don't suppose anyone wants the ISBN numbers and all that,
	but I've got 'em if someone does.)


	PC File Formats and Conversions
	by Kussman
	Abacus Press
	(That's all I know about this one.  I saw it at a local
	bookstore here in Chicago, Kroch's and Brentano's.)
