Thank you for your comments.  I think I will do the same thing.  I wish
SCO would offer second version so called "lite" to get rid of unnessary
files.   All IRS and many government department are using MMDF.  I was
former system administrator for IRS and I did install MMDF there but I 
don't like this at all.      I notice that Xenix Elm can not
understand Unix mail spool and I have not got compiler for Unix yet.

Thanks again..

willy
