What you tried should have worked; many others are using my version (and the original version) of mail11.utk to reach all the VMS systems available to them -- if you have discovered a problem, I would very much like to know more about it. Can you rerun your test? # The only problem left with 5.64 on ULTRIX is the DEC's lack of ndbm, # and none of the ndbm-clones I've tried being a drop-in replacement. # sdbm was tried with marginal success, and gdbm or dbz might be doable # with a little work. I'm told that Ultrix 4.0 includes ndbm in libc.a, a la 4.3bsd. However, I've heard from several of the people who've grabbed my sendmail that gdbm works just fine on Ultrix 2.X and 3.X. I'll probably switch to gdbm myself at some point, since it's faster or at least has the potential to be due to its caching design. -- Paul Vixie DEC Western Research Lab Palo Alto, California ...!decwrl!vixie
