Has anyone ported ELM, Cnews or Bnews for use with 386bsd. I have tried with
all, but keep running into tons of define errors and mistyped functions...
If someone has gone to the trouble of getting these very useful packages
going, great, lets share the resources. If not, lets get together to get
them working!
Problem With Elm... After getting it to compile by editing almost every
source file to either #define or #undef some of 386bsd's functions, it
compiled. The problem is that when I go to send a message with it, the
command line information gets sent to the program, but the /tmp/elm* file
doesn't get appended to the header. ELM only creates a minimal header
from the command line so 'elm joe@abc.edu' will get passed to ELM so joe
will get a blank message. If anyone else has looked at the problem, it
seems to be in mailmsg2.c. I just can't quite figure out where it is
messing up... permissions, location, string copy?
I hope to get these all working on my machine in the next week, so your
input is greatly appreciated.
Gregg
