Do it yourself!  Here's how:

1) Get a copy of rn 4.3.2.4 PL 47*.  Run the Configure script.
   Most questions will have obvious answers.  Two to watch for:

Is your "test" built into sh? [n] (OK to guess)
Does your mailer understand INTERNET addresses? [n]

Answer  y  to both of those!

When Configure finishes, you will need to edit THREE files.

Makefile:
	add -bsd to the  CFLAGS =  line
	add -lsys_s to the  libs =  line
config.sh
	change novfork='define' to novfork='undef'
config.h
	change  #define vfork fork  to  #undef vfork fork

Then type make.


*PL 48 should be out later this week (see news.software.b).

You don't want binaries--certain site-specific information needs
to be compiled in and edited into shell scripts.

The official site is either lib.tmc.edu or gazette.bcm.tmc.edu.
