I seem to be out of sync on release numbers for Fred van Kempen's
wmail program posted by Dr. Tanenbaum.

I got the original wmail and umail posting of 23 Oct.  The README
file in the wmail portion of this identified it as release 2.5
This posting was missing wmail.h, as I remember.

I got wmail.h from a later posting.  I didn't get wmail or umail up
because of unresolved references at link time.  I am running P-H 
MINIX 1.3, and they use functions not in the library for that 
release and not in the posting.

Before I could get around to supplying the missing functions from
other sources, Dr. Tanenbaum's 11 Nov posting appeared with patches
for wmail.  Most of these patches failed when I tried to apply them.
Looking into this, I note that the README file which came with the
patches identified wmail as release 2.7, and listed 10 improvements
to release 2.5 which had been made in release 2.6.

Apparently I missed a posting to upgrade wmail from release 2.5 to
release 2.6.  I still don't have easy access to MINIX archives, so
I'd appreciate it if someone would send it to me - or perhaps it
could be reposted??
